 | Tagging made easy!! Spend about an hour a day for 5 days and see what you can accomplish!!No stress, no worries, tagging tips for busy moms by a busy mom |
DAY 1: STOCK-UP! While you are out stop at the Dollar Tree and get a few packs of 3x5 cards, multiple packs of child size hangers (10 to a pack) and a couple packs of 200 safety pins. Also, pick-up gallon size ziplock bags, clear packing tape, all size batteries and maybe some ribbon. (Optional items: bag of chocolates, and a latte on the way home.) DAY 2: CLEAN IT OUT! Go through every closet, under each bed, dig in the garage, open the rubbermaids and every drawer....pull all items that are not sellable. Items that have holes, missing pieces, broken zippers, toys that don't work, all have to go...bag it, give it away, or take it to the dump. DAY 3: HANG IT! First claim a space for all your quality JBF merchandise, somewhere that is somewhat protected and clean. (This is only for a few weeks, no large commitment needed.) Now purge the toys, the clothes, the equipment and more that is ready to sell. One thing I have learned, is that no matter how many toys I sell there are always too many toys! Place all your clothing items on hangers be sure the hanger is going teh correct direction). Put together outfits, check for little stains (bleach pen or Spray n Wash with Oxy!!). Items that are wrinkled can be ironed OR try the Downy wrinkle release ---gift from Heaven!!! Remember to pin items that might get bumped off the hangers. Hang or stack neatly all your items. WALK AWAY. | DAY 4: PRICE IT! Take your stack of 3x5 cards, or your laptop with the JBF template, or logon to www.myjbftags.com - recommended method, very easy!!) and go to your prepared items. In the order that your items are stacked or hung, complete each tag appropriately....DO NOT MIX UP YOUR ITEMS, KEEP THEM IN ORDER. Be sure to put your consignor number on each tag, write a brief description, "D" or no "D", just the right price, and maybe a red star. Take your completed and in order stack of tags and find a safe place (if you need to print and cut your templates, do that now. WALK AWAY. DAY 5: PIN IT! Pull out your nicely organized stack of tags, and go to your nicely organized stack or row of items. Now simply take the first tag to the first item and pin, continue on down, pin, pin, pin, pin, etc. (This is where a brief description on your tags helps you, just in case items or tags get out of order). When you get to shoes, you may need to use ribbon to tie the shoes together and pin a tag, some toys and large items will require packing tape, some items need to go into ziplock bags. NOW YOU ARE READY FOR DROP-OFF! Sit back and make plans for the fun things you can do with that extra JBF money! |
