The Netflix series, “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo”, has become a cultural phenomenon and is inspiring people everywhere to get rid of items that don’t “spark joy”.
The revolution is impacting local business and one local Goodwill tells News13, revenue and donations are up from this time last year.
“We’ve seen a lot more donations coming in; and good donations,” Tina Kemp, manager of a Murrells Inlet Goodwill said.
Andrea Gagliano, a professional organizer and owner of Ace of Space Organization, says the benefits of being organized go far beyond the aesthetic and decluttering can positively impact your wallet.
Gagliano says by going through your belongings and knowing where to find them, you are less likely to purchase them again on accident. Additionally, things you don’t want anymore, can oftentimes be sold to consignment retailers.
