As the holiday season approaches, consumers are more intent than ever on making their shopping dollar go further than ever. A recent survey conducted by the NDP group indicated that while shoppers say they’re going to spend more this year than they did in 2004 (an average of $681 for 2005 compared with $655 in 2004), many of the same shoppers say that value and price are going to be key factors this year. For Drexel Hill Kid to Kid owner Meade Hinton, value-conscious consumers are key to his success year-round. What’s more, at a time when the Consumer Confidence Index is on the downturn (the Oct. 2005 index was 85, the lowest level since Oct. 2003), Hinton’s upscale resale business can actually boost a household’s disposable income levels. “At Kid to Kid, we buy and sell gently used children’s goods, like clothing, strollers and maternity products, along with many new items, especially accessories and toys. Since our inventory relies on our ability to buy products, we’re like a recycling center for many families�and, we can help offset economic factors like rising energy costs, especially during the holiday season. Last year, my store actually paid out about $170,000 to area families by purchasing high-quality, like-new items they simply don’t need any longer,” Hinton said. Hinton added, “In addition to making money by selling items to Kid to Kid, savvy shoppers can also purchase like-new products for gifts. Our inventory normally includes several brand-name designer products at a fraction of the cost of what a regular retail store would charge (for example, an item that might sell for $50 new can be found for about $15 at Kid to Kid). Since youngsters grow out of their clothing so quickly, it really makes sense to buy items from Kid to Kid.” If you’re interested in learning more about how Meade Hinton can help families on a budget stretch their holiday dollars, please feel free to contact him at (610)446-2544. Their Kid to Kid store is located at 1244 Township Line Road.
