Complete tags with consignor number

Each tag requires a consignor number, description and price.
Be descriptive. Use brand, color and clothing type when describing your item. For example, “Black J Crew Cardigan” instead of “Black Sweater.” This will help us located an item if a tag is separated during the sale.
Set your price. Use the original price and brand as your guide. What you would pay for such an item at our sale? Use $1 increments and price to sell. Remember the better the price the more likely it will not come back into your closet.

Donate & 1/2 Off

Each consignor will determine if they will keep their item at full price, sell at ½ OFF during the last day of the sale or donate the item after the sale.
If you DO NOT want your items to be sold at 1/2 off the last day of our sale please cross out "1/2 OFF" on the bottom of your tag.
If you DO NOT want your items donated at the end of the sale, please cross out "DONATE" on the bottom of your tag.

See the following examples.

YES to Donate and ½ Off should read:	DONATE ½ OFF
DO NOT Donate and YES to ½ Off should read:	DONATE ½ OFF
YES to Donate and NO ½ OFF should read:	DONATE ½ OFF
DO NOT Donate and NO ½ OFF should read:	DONATE ½ OFF

Attach tags

Attach all tags to the inside label or inside seam with either safety pins or a tagging gun.
Tags must be securely attached to shoes with safety pins, ribbon or packing tape. Remember, shoppers will be handling and trying them on. DO NOT attach tags to shoe boxes as they will not stay with shoes.
Affix tags to other loose accessories using a tagging gun, ribbon or safety pins.
For jewelry, attach our smaller jewelry tags to necklaces and bracelets using a string, curling ribbon or safety pin. Earring can be attached to a small card. Items placed in zip lock bags must have tags attached to the item, not loose in the bag.

*Special Note* All consignors need to reserve a scheduled time to drop off their items. All time slots are in one hour increments. We ask that you arrive within that hour. You may change your drop off time by logging into your account up to 48 hours before the start of drop off.

What to expect at drop off:

Please allow 20-30 minutes for drop off.
Know your consignor number. All your items will be identified by this number and we will check you in by this number.
Arrive with your items neatly hung and tagged.
We will count your items and inspect to make sure they are properly tagged and fall within our guidelines. Once inspected, your accepted items will be placed on the sales floor. Any unaccepted items will be returned at this time.

Consignors who have indicated on their tags they do NOT want their items donated can pick up their unsold merchandise within the designated pick up hours. Please see Consignor Schedule. If you are unable to pick up during these times, please make alternative arrangements with a friend or family member to pick up for you. Divine Consign is unable to transfer/store consignor merchandise following the sale. Any items not picked up will be donated to our partner charities.

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 the last day. Half the money is better than no money! Most shoppers do not even consider purchasing items at full price on the last day. 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 the 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 your future sales.

Within two weeks of the sale, you will receive a check and sales receipt. Your registration fee based on the sale location (The Wisconsin locations have a registration fee of $15 and Illinois is $10) will be subtracted from your earnings.
