“Threadflip is your destination for buying, selling and sharing fabulous fashion with favorite friends & like-minded fashionistas.”

According to Mashable, there’s been a proliferation of web and mobile-based channels for selling pre-owned clothing and accessories recently including Copious,  99dresses,  Fashionlend,  Nearly Newlywed, Poshmark. These businesses are aiming to carve a slice out of an area long dominated by the likes of eBay, Etsy and local consignment shops.

Enter Threadflip, a San Francisco-based company which provides both “Buy” and “Sell” services and offers a “white glove service” for sellers who want to be less involved. Right now, your first “box” is on them for those who take part in their “pilot program,” which is great news for those of you looking to edit your wardrobe for summer!

“If you have a small business with little budget for social media or marketing, you need not worry —you can get a lot out of Facebook for free merely by doing it well. The more compelling and engaging your content is, the more it will be “liked” and commented on, thus catapulting your content —and brand —into organic buzz through more and more news feeds.”

This is a great post from Mashable with a number of tips and suggestions on improving your brand presence using many of the new features of the Facebook timeline (which was rolled out back on March 30).
