How to Sell Your Taste: A Win-Win Approach

Interested in collecting outfits every new fashion season? Do you hoard a lot of things that you find quirky or antique but there is no place to store them anymore? Here is a profitable way to let go of your treasures! Start a thrift store. Yes, you heard it right. A thrift store allows you to sell you valuable yet not-so-much in use for you things at flexible prices. This is also a great way to showcase your taste with a community of buyers, which might gain you a potential brand. In my opinion, this is a great way to flex your taste and also to sell your collections.

Now you might think setting up a store requires a lot of effort and funds. If you are someone with a full-time job or someone who cannot afford to set up a store, fret not! You can always set up an online store. Today there are hundreds of thrift stores on instagram. Setting up a thrift store in social media gains you static customers and your business can grow in months as it is easily shared through these platforms. And the most important thing is that you need not require extra funds to set up your account. Just set up a business account and you’re done! 

Setting up a thrift store on Instagram gives you a great way to give a brand identity through the way you display your profile page. Many thrift shop owners maintain different aesthetics that speak their taste. My favourite thrift stores that carry their niche so well are Thrift India (@snazzythriftt), Bottom Drawer Vintage (@bottomdrawervintage), mini_mini (@mini2_mini) and the list goes on.
