Launching New Business Takes Imagination, Know-How By ROBERTA ROESCH "T'd like to. earn money at home, #0 I'm in the market for afew suggestions for selling ," Writes a reauer; "At the time I have about 30 new dresses that are up for sale. I also have some wr ustite tant as ees lent condition. "I've told my neighbors I am dresses and have asked them to spread the word, But I_hayen't received..one nibble What do you think I should There are several things that woman can do, For in- stance, if she is looking for a term arrangement that will last just long enough to enable her to sell items she no needs, she can advertise ' in classified sections newspapers. PROMOTE SALES On the other hand, if she wants to go into a short-term selling project that has regular for several days, she can take a cue from the Garage Sales that were so popular in suburban areas during the past season, In the winter she can advertise a Basement Sale and, . for a period of several days, have her basement stocked with clothes or other items and open to the public for specific hours. If a basement shop appeals to a woman for a long-term home enterprise, the following things are essential to the es- tablishment of a successful home business, First, aias out a seiitying or appea name, such a 'Sue New ar New - To. You Shop.' Let your imagination im prove on this example, Then, after you select a name and have your plans in order, check with your local zoning board so your business won't be| =" stopped because of community ordinances, Third, create a decor and disy play that is so outstanding and distinctive that people will want to come to your shop. Once you have them in your inner sane; tum, offer retail stores competi- tion by making sure that people see bargains that are too good to pass up. Let customers know about r basement business by launching it with an open house, a morning coffee, a cheese-and- wine-tasting party, or what. you will. After you get it launched, keep the business in front of the public by promoting it through advertising, bulletin board no- tices, announcements at local meetings and word of mouth. Label your merchandise with price tags that will. sell it. If you are in doubt, about what to charge, seek advice from people who are experienced at pricing or selling new and used clothing or other items, Hang' on when you know: that you have a good thing, and re- mind yourself daily that success takes time. GRANNY GOWN the long gown for sleep- wear is destined for -popu- larity this winter, reversing the trend. of youthful day- time thigh-high styles, One manufacturer does this in an almost. medieval mood of soft brushed tricot of acetate and nylon. Exciting details are the soft bosom shirring under the wide inset banding of brushed filigree lace, and thé wide cuffed sleeves thrice lace- banded. The gown is machine - washable, drips dry, needs no ironing and comes in pink, aqua and maize colors, --~By Tracy Adrian The romantic appeal of THE STARS SAY By ESTRELLITA FOR TOMORROW Don't waste time on non- essentials during Wednesday's early hours.
