Consigning with Hugs & Kisses is fun, easy, and you get to MAKE MONEY!
Shopping at Hugs & Kisses is fun, easy, and you get to SAVE MONEY!
This website will walk you through all the steps needed for you to consign with us. If you are not a consignor, just a shopper checking us out, please click on our Sale Times so you can come in and save money on name brand children's items.
So what are we? Hugs & Kisses is a one week event...a huge SALE. We are not a store. (Which means you get to make more money!) Hugs & Kisses leases a building for the sale and then we do it all - in just that one, crazy, fun, exciting week. There is a Fall sale and a Spring sale we have each year. But all you do is consign your items and we do all the rest. Hugs & Kisses takes care of all the expenses to make the sale happen. The percentage deducted from your sale's total enables us to reserve the building, do all the advertising (signs, radio, newspaper, website, flyers, etc.), provide all the clothing racks and tables needed to hold the sale, and handle all the transactions. We even handle any items you want to donate.
Now we do rely on our many volunteers or this sale would never be possible. Hugs & Kisses is a team effort! And if you are consigning, the more people you tell, the more money you could potentially make.
So what about the money you make? Well, because we have switched over to a completely automated system, you'll be able to pick up your check when you pick up your unsold items (on Tuesday, March 9). But if you're donating your remaining items and want to save yourself a trip, we'll be glad to mail you your check that week if you choose. (However, we'll deduct $1 from your check to cover costs and the extra time.) But either way, it's so much faster than waiting two weeks.
So browse through the site, email us with questions, and learn how to get your items ready for our Spring Sale. Especially if this is your first time ever consigning, we recommend that you read through this website before contacting us - there's a lot of info in here! It will also help you understand everything before you begin pricing and tagging.
And now the very basics...CONSIGNOR 101
If you want to consign - (this means you have items you want to sell) - you must register online. You will be assigned a consignor number and be asked to give a password.
After you register, you then get ready to enter your items online. You log into the website (it will ask for your consignor number and password that you submitted). You will come to a page that enables you to enter your items - these are called "tags." Take one item (that you want to enter and bring to the sale) and enter it. What you have to do is pick the size, pick the price you want to sell it for, give a brief description of it, choose whether or not to discount it for the half-price sale, and then click enter. After that item is done, you will then have a new tag for the next item you want to enter.
Once you have entered your items in, you can print your tags. Insert white cardstock paper into your printer to print your tags on. Then, click "print tags" and out your tags will come with an assigned barcode as well as the other infomation (price, size, etc). Cut out your tags and then place them on the appropriate items. Once all your items are tagged, double check to make sure tags are secure and on the proper items. Then sort according to gender and size. Then, when drop-off time begins, you're ready to bring them in.
For you first time consignors, please read through the entire website before contacting us. We think we've covered everything, but in case we haven't, then contact us.
We can't wait to see you there!
Hugs & Kisses xoxo
