Quick Tagging Tips!

 Check out the Guides in our Facebook Group for more detailed instructions

TOYS & GEAR

Two Essentials: Make sure the tag is attached securely and also that all of the pieces are secured together and won't separate. We recommend that you tape bags closed. Tags can be attached to larger items with zip ties!

CLOTHING & SHOES

Put clothing on a hanger - make sure the hook of the hanger is facing left! You will attach your JBF tags with safety pin or tagging gun. Tie shoes together with zip-ties or ribbon. Tags can be attached to shoes with a zip-tie - it's helpful to punch a hole in the top of the tag and reinforce it with packing tape before attaching the tag to the shoes!

• BONUS: Create Outfits & Bargain Bundles! Shoppers LOVE to get great deals! Do you have something that came as a multi-piece outfit? Hang it together!! It's also okay to bundle like items into sets - just make sure that the items are all the same size. Bundling is popular in the smaller sizes and for lower-value items like tee shirts. Secure pieces to hanger using safety pins, being sure that the hanger is carrying the weight of the items and not the other items on the hanger.

ACCESSORIES
Use clear bags to bundle sets of socks, hair accessories, infant mittens and other small items. Be sure to display the items in the bag neatly so a shopper can see well and tape the tag to the outside of the bag. Hats, bibs, and other items can simply be bundled by pinning them together with a safety pin! Selling a single hat or other accessory - simply pin the tag to the item. These items will be displayed at the sale in baskets or on hooks.

BOOKS, GAMES & DVDs

Please only sell books and games that are in great condition! Games should include all pieces, books that have names in them are fine to sell - just please no colored in, ripped, or well-loved books. Ensure that DVDs are actually IN the case and that they are not scratched and damaged. Tape game boxes shut, tape puzzle boxes shut, wrap board puzzles with saran wrap to protect them and keep the pieces together, tape DVD cases shut as well. Attach tags to the back of games with blue painters tape. Tags should be taped to the back of books with blue painters tape. Bundles of books can be made by wrapping them with ribbon like you would do a package or placing similar books in a zip lock bag

Ask yourself, "What price would make me buy this item without hesitation...and brag about my bargain to my friends?" Then price your items for that price! You'll see a higher sell-through rate and that means MORE CA$H in your Pocket!! ALSO - We highly encourage consignors to let your items reduce during our 1/2 Price day! We've checked it out and consignors who let their items reduce - sell more and earn more! Learn More HERE

Quick Tip: Bundle Items to Save Time ~ As you are thinking about prices, consider creating sets or bundles. Put an outfit together, or a set of same-size onesies. Bundle 6 pair of socks together, or several superhero figures. Shoppers love it, and you only have to create one JBF tag!

Where to Create Your Tags

• Include brand, colors, number of pieces included You choose the price
• Choose the category that fits best (leave blank if you can't decide)
• Indicate size for clothing and shoes
• Put a check mark in the 50% off column to let your items sell for Half Price
• Put a check mark in the Donate column to let your unsold items be donated at the end of the sale! (Don't bring that clutter back home!)
• The "Quantity" column is where you can create several tags at once if you have multiple pieces of the same item.

TIP! Talk-to-Text If you are entering tags on your mobile device, use talk-to-text to go even faster.

Print Your Tags: Print your tags on 8.5"x11" white cardstock. Tags print 9 per page. If you want to have your tags printed at a retailer such as Office Max or a FedEx Print Shop save the PDF file and contact them for email instructions!
