How can I increase my sales?
- Pricing
- Price your items to sell. We receive thousands of items at each sale. There
are sometimes multiple items of the same size. Would you choose the pink blouse
for $20 or $15? Do you really want to clean your closet out? The consignors
with the lowest prices end up taking home less clothes and in the end
usually more money.
- Offer your items at ½ OFF. Half the money is better than no money!
Most shoppers do not even consider purchasing items at full price on 1/2 off days.
Do you want your items to be considered all three days of the sale?
- Make your garments stand out
- Although most of the clothes at our sale are pre-owned, they should not appear
to be used. Bring the life out in your clothes and make them stand out.
- Give your garments great hanger appeal. Take the extra effort and the shoppers
will notice.
- Make your tags noticeable so if a shopper likes what they see they might seek
out more. It is often shoppers find a consignor they relate to. By making your
tags maybe a different color or displayed in a uniform fashion this may help
bring more attention to your items.
- Volunteer to increase your percentage earned
- Volunteering is easy and fun. It is the simplest way to increase your sales.
- Shifts are in 4-hour increments and with three shifts you can earn an additional
15% of your sales.
- Volunteers also have the opportunity to interact and learn from the shoppers –
see what sells and improve their future sales.
