If you’re a small business owners who thinks they may need to close their doors given the stay in shelter order, before you massively liquidate your inventory, if you sell unique one of a kind products, here is an out of the box idea. While they too are not currently working, they may still have contracts in place and are in the process of curating items, so consider reaching out to the Set Decorators Association of America Members. They supply Hollywood with everything they need for every movie, television show, commercial, concert, and play. There are some really specific folks on this list. For example, some of them specialize in all things sports, Moroccan, taxidermy, aviation, and area rugs, while others carry lace curtains, antique picture frames, ceramic tile, balloons, birds, and caskets. While I can’t guarantee any of these places are buying, I think if you have a specialty product and it is in their niche, it is worth reaching out to them. For example, lets say you are a window treatment company and have decided since the economy is taking you are going to just close your doors and retire, if you have some unique pieces, at least check in with some of these places that specialize in windows and window treatments to see if you have anything they may want to buy from you. If you are an antique dealer and have a bunch of random good finds, again, worth reaching out. If you are an artist, many of the set decorators who specialize in art will allow you to post your art on their site and if they have interest, you can rent or sell it.  I know some people who do some really weird off the wall forms of art that is truly one of a kind that should list their stuff, like reindeer made of recycled toilets. I am going to send him this list today! If you are an artist, be sure to go back a few episodes as I have a podcast just for you. I love thinking of out of the box ideas to help those who are going through transition and I hope this idea was helpful! If you end up selling something, do follow up and let me know! I never know if all my crazy ideas pan out.
