Prepping, Pricing & Tagging Your Items

GOOD TO KNOW:

• Descriptions are important. Brand: line 1 & a good description line 1 & 2
• “Quantity” refers to more than one of the EXACT SAME item with EXACT SAME price (NOT the  number of items in your bundle. Multiple shirts on ONE hanger = ONE tag = ONE item)
• DISCOUNT: a very good idea to increase sales. Click the box for a dot to print on the tag (ideally print in color!). Last days of pop up items are discounted.

PRINTING TIPS:

• Print on white CARDSTOCK paper or our Sticker Tags. (Regular paper is flimsy and your tags will fall off. Colored paper is difficult to scan barcodes). 
• Low quality printing is best so the barcode scans (Use “Draft” mode)
• Ideally, print all “discounted” tags in color so the “dot” is red. If “No Discount” prints on the tag then discounting is NOT flagged in the barcode so do not try adding your own “dot.” Black or red dots are acceptable.
• Select the “Print as PDF” option. Print a test page on regular paper first. Sometimes you need to adjust your printer settings. 6 tags should print on one page (usually adjusting the “zoom”  helps if your printer is giving you a headache)  😉
• Optional “sticker tags” are specially formatted & make for fast tagging. Allow 2 weeks for delivery. Email Kelli at [email protected]

• Use a safety pin, tagging gun, sticker tags or tape to attach price tags
• Tape is only for plastic or hard items!
• Put the tag in the SEAM or in the manufacturer’s tag. DON”T make a hole in the center of the item.
• Test the tag: if it’ll fall off at home, it’ll fall off at the sale.
• Large Items too hard to carry: bring the tag with you & attach to a Claim Ticket at drop off.

• Shoppers decide what they’ll buy
• What would YOU pay for the item?
• Price, Age, Condition: how shoppers decide
• Prices begin @ $3. Bundle items to increase value
• DISCOUNT IT: select the discount box so it’ll be discounted on the last days, if it hasn’t sold.

• 

• 6 tags print on a page. Work with 6 items at a time
• Shake Test: if it falls off the hanger, pin it to the shoulder or get a larger hanger
• Hole Test: if your kids can poke a hole in the bag to get to the toy, use clear packing tape over the ziploc bag
• Shoes: zip tie, rubber band, safety pin together, when possible. Infant shoes can go in a ziploc bag
• Books: saran wrap/ziploc bundles together & tape over the saran wrap/ziploc
• Puzzles: saran wrap around puzzle (no cardboard box puzzles are accepted unless new)
• Games: put pieces in ziploc bags, include manual, keep it organized. Don’t tape it closed. We will do that after inspection
• Elecronics: must turn on! If it’s tiny, tape it to a large piece of cardboard, then put it in a ziploc bag. Tape the bag so holes can’t be made
• Accessories: headbands, socks, bibs, etc are best attachd to an outfit. NO fabric clothing items in bags. Bundle multiple similar accessories and tag as one item.
