How do we THANK our volunteers?
*** VOLUNTEERS SHOP FIRST & EARN HIGHER PERCENTAGES OF THEIR SALES!!!***
With an event of this size, we require lots of volunteers to help everything run smoothly.
Tasks volunteers are asked to help with may include: Setting up racks, sorting clothes, assisting shoppers, helping with check-out, etc.
- Volunteers who work ONE 4-hour shift receive a pass to enter and shop the Volunteer Presale THIRD and earn 70% of their sold items.
- Volunteers who work TWO 4-hour shifts receive a pass to enter and shop the Volunteer Presale SECOND and earn 75% of their sold items.
- Volunteers who work THREE 4-hour shifts receive a pass to enter and shop the Volunteer Presale FIRST and earn 75% of their sold items.
- ALL Volunteers also receive a pass to enter and shop the 50% off pre-sale one hour before we open to the publc.
NOTE: Volunteers that do not fulfill their shift obligations (or send a comparable replacement (a husband, friend, etc) in their place) forfeit their right to participate as a volunteer in the future. Please consider the importance of following through when you commit to a volunteer shift, we are really depending on you! Thanks!
*** Please leave the kids at home when you come to fulfill your shift obligation. We are unable to provide childcare – and you won’t be in a position to supervise them while working.
SUGGESTION: We have many volunteers that team up with a friend: One watches the kids while the other works a shift – and vice versa. It works out great and they each earn a pass so they can have fun shopping the presale together!
A small number of “Super Volunteers” work a minimum of SIX 4-hour shifts and shop before the Volunteer Presale starts so they can staff the Volunteer Presale (Super Volunteer program by invitation only).
VOLUNTEER “BARTER” OPPORTUNITIES:
There are a limited number of volunteer “barter” opportunities available.
“Barter” work shifts are limited to one per consignor, per sales event – all other volunteer shifts must be worked at the sale location.
Barter options count as ONE 4-hour volunteer shift (occasional exceptions apply).
MEALS: Sign-up for meal delivery thru the volunteer menu – choose your day/time. Please bring meals in containers that will not need to be returned to you. “Bring a meal to the sale location (meal to feed 10 + drinks + paper products/utensils required)”
NOTE: In order to get credit for this volunteer option, you *must* sign-in when you drop off your meal.
PUBLICITY:
1. Printing services – Can you print flyers, postcards, banner, signs or t-shirts for us?
2. Generate media interest – Can you help with radio, TV or newspaper coverage? Can you put an ad or article in a community, subdivision, mom-group or company newsletter? Can you help us with “friends & family” discounted ad rates?
3. Postcard + Flyer distribution – Do you have an “in” somewhere that you can distribute our flyers/postcards? Do you have a high-traffic business that can distribute info – or post a sign outside? Can you get our info posted online? Do you have an ‘in’ with a local blogger? * To complete this ‘barter’ you must get our information into 5 different sources. *
4. Write your own – Let us know if you have a different barter arrangement to offer!
Email “Barter (at) StorkLady (dot) net” to discuss bartering options.
We love our volunteers – and would be happy to have you join our team!
