Tagging instructions
ADULT CONSIGNMENT SALE:
Tagging Instructions:
Via our online tagging system, you will log-in to your consignor account and enter your tag information (description, price, donate yes/no, etc).
The system will generate tags for you to print (on white cardstock), which you will then cut out and attach to your items.
The ONLINE TAGGING SYSTEM is easy to use and will allow you to maintain an inventory of the items you are bringing to the sale. You will be able to see exactly which of your items sold and how much you’ve earned at the close of the sale.
PLEASE NOTE: The online tagging system will close on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2nd at 9:00am. At that time you will NOT be able to enter new items for tags, schedule drop-off appointments or volunteer shifts, make any changes etc. *** You will however, be able to log-in to your account and PRINT any tags that were entered before the system shut off. ***
To access the online tagging system, you must be a REGISTERED CONSIGNOR who is registered for the FALL ADULT CONSIGNMENT EVENT. Click here to Register.
After registering for the FALL 2013 ADULT CONSIGNMENT EVENT, follow the instructions below:
Click on “Work with consigned inventory” and follow the prompts to enter your tag info.
Click “I’m finished for now” when you are ready to exit the system.
(RETURNING CONSIGNORS: Please read about ACTIVE + INACTIVE inventory here.)
All CLOTHING items must have a minimum price of $2.00. (You may hang or bundle more than one item together to get to the $2.00 minimum if necessary.) All OTHER ITEMS must have a minimum price of $1.00.
Price in whole-dollar increments only (for example, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00 $5.00).
*** Our most successful consignors price their items “TO SELL”! ***
If you want the item to sell for 50% off on ’50% off day’, check the box next to “Check To Discount” (a RED STAR will print above the price on discounted tags).
If you would like us to DONATE the item if it doesn’t sell, check the box next to “Check To Donate” (a “D” will print in the left-hand corner of the tag). Please consider utilizing this option. We work with several great St Louis charities that would be thrilled to pass your unsold items on to families in need.
All unsold items (not marked to be ‘donated’) will be available for pick-up SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6th, 4pm – 7pm.
**** NOTE: All items MUST be picked up during the designated pick-up hours. All items not picked up within the designated times become the property of The Stork Lady Kids Sale & will be donated. ***
All tags must include a FULL DESCRIPTION of the item.
Single word descriptions like: “shirt” or “book” will not be accepted.
Include specific info like: brand, color, or how many pieces are included. Include anything that will help us determine which item goes with which tag.
EXAMPLE:
YES: 2pc Ralph Lauren s/s shirt & long skirt blue/grn
NO: shirt + skirt
Handwritten info on tags will not be accepted/honored.
If you make any changes to your tag’s info in the online tag system, you MUST reprint a new tag.
TAGS ARE CHECKED WHEN CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THEIR ITEMS. We will not sell an item that does not accurately match the description of its tag. This is for our consignor’s protection – please be specific in your tag descriptions!
For clothing, select a LETTER SIZE (S,M,L etc) from the drop-down menu using the following guidelines:
WOMEN:
XS = 0-2
S = 4-6
M = 8-10
L = 12-14
XL = 16-18
XXL = 20-22
3X = 24-26
4x = 28+
MEN:
S = 28-31
M = 32-34
L = 35-38
XL = 40-42
XXL = 44-46
XXXL = 48+
TO PRINT YOUR TAGS: Enter CTRL-P on your keyboard OR at the top left in the tag window, select: ‘File’ then ‘Print’. Tags will print 6 to a page.
Use white cardstock only (no lightweight copy paper – tags printed on plain copy paper tear & fall off very easily!) Cardstock is available at Target, Wal-Mart, Big Lots office supply stores, etc.
Visit our ‘Preparing Items for Sale‘ guidelines for info on attaching tags to your items.
A NOTE ON RESORT NUMBERS: You may be familiar with ‘Resort Numbers’ if you have consigned at one of our KIDS & BABY sales. Note that for our ADULTS sale, resort numbers are not necessary.
We will not be ‘sorting’ unsold items at the close of the sale. Instead, when you come to pick up your unsold items, we will ask that you walk to the racks and find your clothing and walk to the tables to find your ‘other’ items.
This will not be difficult to do as we will have volunteers ensure that everything is sized correctly on the racks and is in the correct spot on the tables. Since you know what sizes, items, etc you brought to sell (and you will be able to log-in to your account online to see what has been sold), it will be quick and easy for you to find your items. (For instance, if you did not bring any picture frames, you would not need to look through the picture frame table.)
PLEASE DO consider choosing the option to DONATE your unsold items. We work with organizations such as the Weinmann shelter for abused women, Our Ladies Inn who works with pregnant women in need and the St. Peter & Paul homeless shelter. Often these men & women are trying to set up a new home with nothing but the clothes on their back so they are in need of all manner of items and would be very happy to receive your unsold items. We thank you.
