YOUR CLIENTELE CAN ENJOY YOUR SHOP EVEN MORE!
Direct clients to HTC to help them make their items more valuable, teach them how to shop resale, and offer information on how to care for their purchases. Make your client happier with your business by using HowToConsign.com.

HOW MUCH?
For $1 or $2 a week, your shop can be listed on our Clickable Map & Directory. Your future clients can even see exactly where you shop is with our ZOOMABLE Map. You have a choice of a Valued Sponsorship or a Treasured, depending on which you prefer. See below.

WHY ISN'T HOWTOCONSIGN.COM FREE?
Yes, there are free directories where your shop competes against paid advertising or another business's self-promotion. Kinda like peering through a bunch of billboards to see your shop. These "database" sites have their uses. But ONLY HowToConsign.com puts its full energies into pre-educating your suppliers and shoppers, and our sister site, Too Good to be Threw The Premiere Site for Professional Resalers, is supported by HTC's Sponsors. Of course, you are welcome to place likes to our educational materials on your web site, in your blogs and Twitters and so on, but it is the Sponsors who make all of this possible. If you avail yourself of HowToConsign.com, TGtbT.com, or our AuntieKate Blog, I think you will agree that the dollar or two, to cover the expenses of these industry sites, is worth it to you, your clientele, the industry and your career.

And here's a benefit you'll enjoy more than all the rest: Because standards on how to prepare items are posted on HTC, an independent web site, these standards are perceived by potential suppliers as important and necessary. It's not YOU being fussy: just say "This is the industry standard as seen on HowToConsign.com." In other words: HTC takes the blame for being PICKY about quality, condition, and stylishness!
