    Item Prep

    Getting Items Ready:


    Clothing:

    All Clothing MUST be on a Hanger. 

    Hang Clothing on the  hanger with its hook opening to the left, like a question mark. 


    Pin Clothing to the Hanger, if needed to keep clothing from falling off.


    Bundle Clothing, as needed and Secure pieces to hanger using safety pins.


    Clothing Accessories:

    No Hangers are needed for accessories like socks and hats.

    Bundle small accessories together in bags. Display neatly so shopper can see them.



    Larger Accessories like hats can be sold individually and out of bags.

    Toys & Gear:

    Bag Pieces Together and/or attach all parts securely to the Item

    Tape Boxes and Bags Shut. When attaching Tag, ensure it is secure and that Tape will not damage the item.

    Tagging

    Getting Items Tagged:


    Clothing:

    Items Should be priced to sell, but consider different factors as you decide on prices for your items.

    • What did you pay for the item and how motivated are you to sell your item? 
    • What Brand is your item? Is it in High Demand?


     Also, Keep in Mind: Consignors earn 70% on your Items sold and have some supply costs. Your price should absorb some of these costs to you.


    Pricing Chart:

    Bundle Items: Save Time


    As you are thinking about prices, consider creating sets or bundles. Put an outfit together, or a set of same-size onesies.  Shoppers love it, and you only have to create one JBF tag!

    Creating Tags:

    To Create Tags you will use the JBF Tagging Website.
