What is a Consignment Shop?

Individuals bring their unwanted items to a consignment shop so that the shop owner can sell the items for them. Whenever an item is sold, the sale price is split between the owner of the consignment shop and the owner of the item. This benefits the shop owner because they do not need to pay upfront for their merchandise. It benefits the owner of the merchandise by allowing them to get rid of unwanted items and make some extra money in the process. The consignment shop owner typically retains a higher percentage of the sale price in order to cover their business expenses.

While some consignment shops take a wide variety of items, others are more specialized. Books, antiques and furniture are all popular consignment items. Consignment shops create the ability for consumers to purchase things that they might not be able to afford brand new.

When someone is looking to sell their items through consignment there are some things that they will want to look for in a consignment store. First, the shop should be in a good location. Shops located off a major street will typically attract the most attention. The shop should be well organized and the owner should be friendly and knowledgeable. Check with the shop owner about their policies regarding percentage splits and how long they keep items.

Most consignment shops will only take items that are clean and in good condition. Jewelry and shoes should be free from damage and polished before being brought to the consignment shop. Toys must be spotless, and furniture should be well maintained. Items that are not in good condition typically are not eligible for sale in a consignment shop.

Costs Involved with Running a Rescueconsignment rescue efforts

Most people do not realize how much money it takes to run a pet rescue. Rescue is expensive and no one pays the volunteers that must work both day and night to care for the rescued animals. Let’s take a closer look at some of the costs involved with running a rescue.

Vet Bills

Rescued pets need to visit a veterinarian upon arrival. They receive regular check-ups, vaccinations, flea treatments, they get spayed or neutered and sometimes require emergency care. These costs can add up quickly!

Daily Pet Care

Pet rescues must pay for the everyday care of the pets that they are responsible for. This includes food, litter, blankets and housing.

Administrative Costs

Just like any other business, pet recues must pay for brochures, business cards, advertising and bank fees. Although most rescues try to keep these costs to a minimum it is impossible to avoid them completely.

Unexpected Expenses

Unexpected expenses happen to everyone, including pet rescues. Sometimes pests invade and must be dealt with, or natural disasters occur. Whatever the case, pet rescues are responsible for all expenses involved.

Pet rescues do not receive state funding for their rescue efforts. There are many ways that you can help a pet rescue. You can donate items such as food, towels or blankets. You can donate money directly to the rescue or you can support businesses that support pet rescue. There are many wonderful businesses that donate a part of their profits to help local rescue groups. Whatever you are able to do can help make a difference for a pet in need.

Rescue Goes Hand in Hand With Pet Related Businesses

Rescue Goes Hand in Hand With Pet Related Businessesconsignment rescue efforts

You probably already know that pet shops that host animal adoptions are far better than those that sell pets for profit. This is because most of the pets sold in pet stores come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills. However, other pet related businesses can also work with pet rescues to benefit both their individual profits as well as the efforts put forth by the rescue group.

As more and more cities are banning the sale of live pets in pet shops, more people are turning to rescue groups to find their animal companions. Rescue groups need as many outlets as possible to showcase their available pets. Pet related businesses are able to provide that outlet.

When pet related businesses and pet rescues partner together they create a mutual working relationship. Pet related businesses looking to partner with rescue groups should look for groups that are well-organized, offer ongoing support when needed and are able to expedite the adoption process. This is extremely important as one of the main complaints about adopting from pet rescues is that the adoption process takes too long. When there is a significant hold up, potential adopters are more likely to change their mind.

When businesses that sell pet supplies partner with rescue groups they might give a portion or all of the profits of those sales back to the rescue. Funding is an extremely important part of keeping an animal rescue running. Without proper funding, animals cannot be fed, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, or properly cared for. Supporting small businesses that help pet rescue is an excellent way for consumers to get involved with the rescue of domestic pets.
