It's All in the Marketing . . .

Today, while in McCall we all went to the Thrift Store. Now, you have to admit that presentation is everything to encourage a purchase. This store owner was most inventive in her presentation.

Check it out: From our viewpoint looking down on the carpeted floor, we see what is advertised as "3 PIECE FOOTSTOOL" for $25 (now marked down on sale for $15).


Upon closer investigation, viewing it from the floor, we see that it is really, in fact, just 3 couch cushions stacked loosely on top of each other to MAKE A FOOTSTOOL.

that is great! You have to be proud of that marketing tool, and those McCall peeps use them all! Some work really well though. I recall buying some pictures and jewelry last time I was there. HA, they got me that is for sure. I love going there though; and hope you had a wonderful time.
