One of the reason not only I, but the rest of Kellie's Consignments staff loves working at Kellie's is because we get to be creative! We love being able to bring our creativity and ideas to work. One of the more fun ways we get to express this is when we re-design our store displays. Here are two I helped put together last week, along with two other Kellie's workers :)

We love doing these and we try and cater them to what we believe our customers will like/ideas that will inspire them. Next time you stop please let us know if you have any suggestions for future displays, we love the feedback! 

                                               Kellie's Consignments: Online Shop

So, as a lot of you already know, Kellie's Consignments now has an online shopping website! We are very excited about it and want to encourage our customers to use it. It is very easy/simple to use, as well as convenient.

You can find some items listed on our home website page if you scroll all the way down to the very bottom, and to look at all of our online inventory you can select the "SHOP" tab at the very top of the page and it will take you directly there. The direct link to the "SHOP" page is: http://kelliesconsignments.com/shop/

We created Kellie's online shop to make it easier and more convenient for customers to shop Kellie's Consignments. We have a lot of customers that love our store but that don't live very close, or others that simply have a busy schedule, so we created this for them. We love pleasing our customers! You guys are what make our store such a success.

What is cool about our online shop is that once you order your item, you can either have it shipped to you (prices vary on weight) or you can come pick it up in the store, whichever works best for you. Right now we have a good amount of inventory on the website, but our goal for the new 2016 year is to post 50 new items every week!

 

 

 

School is back in session! Well at least for us Spartans :) Make sure to stop by Kellie's Consignments for you/your students back to school shopping. I will be posting pictures of new cute school clothes in the store on here throughout the week! Stay tuned and have a great week of classes!

 

Paying It Forward 

Pay It Forward - "An expression for describing the beneficiary of a good deed repaying it to others instead of to the original benefactor"

This phrase has been around for a long time but is not something most people act upon on a daily basis. A lot of us live very busy lives and are concerned mostly with ourselves - and this isn't a bad thing, it just happens to be this way.

This past week while at work one of my co-workers was telling me of a woman who came into the store with her maintenance man, who is very poor, and let him shop around and paid for him to get new clothes - $150 worth. It touched my co-worker so much that she told me the story, which also touched me. It was refreshing to hear and to know that there are still genuinely good-hearted people in the world who help the less fortunate and expect nothing in return.

So as busy as we might be, there is always time to help someone who is in need or less fortunate; it does not have to be anything big either, it can be as simple as bringing someone at work who you know is having a not so good day a coffee or paying for someone's meal just because. Pay it forward, you'll be glad you did.

20 Ways to Pay it Forward:

1. Pay it Backward: buy coffee for the person behind you in line.
2. Compliment the first three people you talk to today.
3. Send a positive text message to five different people.
4. Let someone go in front of you in line who only has a few items.
5. Leave a gas gift card at a gas pump.
6. Have a LinkedIn account? Write a recommendation for coworker or connection.
7. Leave quarters at the laundromat.
8. Encounter someone in customer service who is especially kind? Take an extra five minutes to tell their manager.
9. Leave unused coupons next to corresponding products in the grocery store.
10. Send a gratitude email to a coworker who deserves more recognition.
11. Practice self-kindness and spend 30 minutes doing something you love today.
12. Write a positive comment on your favorite blog, website, or a friend’s social media account.
13. Leave a kind server the biggest tip you can afford.
14. When you’re throwing something away on the street, pick up any litter around you and put that in the trash too.
15. Pay the toll for the person behind you.
16. Everyone is important. Learn the names of your office security guard, the person at the front desk and other people you see every day. Greet them by name. Also say “hello” to strangers and smile. These acts of kindness are so easy, and they almost always make people smile.
17. Write your partner a list of things you love about them.
18. Purchase extra dog or cat food and bring it to an animal shelter.
19. Find opportunities to give compliments. It costs nothing, takes no time, and could make someone’s entire day. 
20. Run an errand for a family member who is busy.
