Here We Go!

Our first official blog from KidsTown...what to write about is so hard! Really, on our minds is the Fall/Winter/Holiday sale fast approaching. It is in 3 weeks! Wow! Be sure to register and order those bar codes now!
It's funny how so many people think the "consignor industry" is just becoming popular because of the economy. This is so not true! Any good "household manager" (whether mom or dad) will tell you that consigning children's things is the easiest way to cut budget dollars. When you buy and sell at a true consignor event, it is similiar to renting clothes, toys, equipment, etc... because you just bring it back to sell at the next sale! Some of us have been doing this for years - in good times and not.
When you are considering becoming a consignor, be sure to check on percentages back to you, average sales for consignors, marketing for your items, how many people shop the sale, and the atmosphere of the sale. Use that gut feeling we get as parents! Store front consignment stores are so easy but the percentage is usually very low back to the consignor. I can understand this for they have bills to pay! Rent, utilities, phone, and staff are a few.
