Oh noes!! That’s what I thought when I got this newsletter this morning – I can’t believe how quickly the Fall sale has crept up on me! I need to start tagging and entering items NOW!
If you haven’t registered yet, it’s definitely not too late – you still have 3 weeks to sort, hang and tag your items and it can be done! I love organization and computer spreadsheets and geeky stuff like that and that’s why I love this sale – it’s all under your control on your pricing and everything has a BAR CODE on it so your items are scanned as they are sold. No worries about mistakes and someone else getting credit for your sale, etc.
Here are some tips from the OutGROW OutPLAY crew on how to maximize your sales:
Tagging Tips
1. Start entering inventory & tagging now
This will minimize the stress of leaving it to the last minute.
2. Click here http://www.outgrowoutplay.com/how_to_guide.php to view the consignors how to guide. This includes picture on how to tag, bag and prepare you items. As well as a link to the Consignors 101 Manual.
3. Do you have a lot items to enter? Do you want to save a whole bunch of time? Check out the Generic Tag Template tab on information on how to create generic tags at the price point that you set.
How to Price Your Items
All prices must be in $1.00 increments, NO .99 cents.
Please note our $3.00 Rule: If your item can not bring $3.00 in on its own, please pair it with something (that matches!) that will bring it to $3.00. Example: Pair a T-shirt with pants or three T-shirts together, 4 small toys, etc. Do not cross out a price if you change your mind. You must remake the entire tag. OutGrow OutPlay will NOT sell any item if the price has been crossed off and changed. This is for everyone’s protection.
When you are pricing your items, PRICE to $ELL! We suggest that you price your items at 1/3 of the original price. 1/2 the original price for new brand new items. Do not loose sales because you overprice. A good indicator of what someone may pay for your item is an amount you would pay. <— This is really important. I learned this lesson after my 1st sale. After all your work hanging and tagging items, you don’t want to bring a lot of it back into your house. Does that $1 extra really matter in the end? Price items to SELL, mamas!!
Always ask yourself, would I buy it and what would I pay for it?
Keep in mind that shoppers are looking for good deals and fair prices! Base your price on the condition, quality, and brand.
