The Basics Step 1: At the end of each season, put aside the clothes and toys

you (and your kids) are ready to sell.

Step 2: Clean and hang your clothing items.

Step 3: Enter your items into the on-line inventory management

system and assign your prices.

Step 4: Print and attach your tags.

Step 5: Make an appointment and bring your items to Check-In.

Step 6: Enjoy the PreSale!

Step 7: Pick up any unsold items at the end of the sale

Step 8: Watch for your check in the mail and congratulate

yourself for a job well done!

Supplies Children’s Hangers: Children’s size wire or plastic hangers are

ideal (although any hanger will do). Children’s clothing

outstretched on an adult wire hanger does the item no justice.

must be white or off-white.

Safety pins: Size 2 safety pins are best (these are 1 inch).

Zip-ties: Optional. Also called cable-ties. String or curling

ribbon will also work.

Clear Packing Tape: Regular scotch tape will not work.

ZipLock Bags: Gallon, quart and/or tote sizes.

You may purchase supplies directly from ChickenKidz:

Starter set @ $11.00:

50 children’s wire hangers, 20 sheets of white cardstock, 20 zip

ties and 100 large safety pins.

Ready, Set, Prep! Spending a little time spiffing up your items will mean more

money for you. Follow these guidelines to get your items in

sellable condition.

Clothing

We strongly recommend running your clothing through the

dryer after washing to remove wrinkles. A quick iron will

also return them to like-new condition.

Button all buttons, zipper all zippers and snap all snaps.

Watch carefully for items with stains, holes, fuzz balls,

fading, broken zippers/snaps, pet hair and missing buttons.

Stains sometimes rise up after being stored - please check

each item by a window before tagging.

All clothing must be on hangers – absolutely no exceptions.

Outfits must be the same size and the same brand.

If your item is a recognized premium brand (ex. Hanna

Anderson, Janie & Jack), be sure to write it in the description on the tag to draw attention to it.

Hanging Clothing

If you can, use child-sized wire or plastic hangers for infant and toddler sizes.

Hang items on a hanger with the hook facing left like a question mark (?).

Safety pin pants, skirts and shorts on both sides to the top slopes of the hanger so they hang

straight. Do not fold over the hanger because they will fall to the floor. Do not safety pin to the

bottom of the hanger because they will slide back and forth, look sloppy and end up on the

floor.

If you’re hanging an outfit, hang the shirt on the hanger first and place the skirt or pants behind

it, safety pinned to the top slopes of the hanger. This way the entire outfit can easily be viewed.

If you think something may fall off the hanger (such as a tank top) – pin it! Shoppers can be

rough and items in a wrinkled heap on the floor don’t sell well.

REQUIRED: Separate your clothing by gender and by size for your drop off appointment.

Rubber band all like-sizes together around the neck of the hanger. For example, rubber band

together all of your Girls Size 2T and your Boys Size 4T.

Here is an example of how the tags should be placed on clothing – top right. If the material is such that a

safety pin would damage it, please pin it on the inside tag or on a seam. Don’t go crazy with the safety pins

– one safety pin will suffice.

Repeat after me: “A consignment

sale is not a garage sale, a

consignment sale is not a garage sale

…. “. Please don't be offended if we

ask you to take back any of your

items. ChickenKidz prides itself on

the quality of items offered and we

will not accept any items that are

stained, ripped, broken, outdated or

incomplete. Many of our Sellers are

also our biggest shoppers and if you

want to buy great items at a great

price, you need to pay it forward

and bring great items. And that’s

the formula for having a great sale.

Simple as that.

Shoes

Shoes must be new or like-new with no excessive tread wear. Soles must be clean and tips must not

show wear. Lace the shoes and use a zip-tie or string to attach the shoes together. Check the Velcro

for fuzz!.

Attach the price tag to the laces with a safety pin or zip tie.

Baby Equipment

Clean all equipment with Clorox, baby wipes or Magic Eraser. No sticky grape jelly please!

Check and/or replace all batteries. All equipment must be sold with working batteries.

Instruction manuals will help sell the item. If you don’t have it, visit the company’s website and

download it. Put it in a sealed Ziploc bag and attach it to the item with a zip-tie.

Affix your price tag with clear packing tape to the item if there is nowhere to utilize a zip-tie.

Do not use scotch tape.

Remember, all large items must be assembled at drop off.

Toys

Toys must include all original parts and pieces and must be sold with working batteries.

Toys with small pieces should be sold in a sealed Ziplock bag. Securely tape the opening of the

bag shut with clear packing tape with the tag taped to the inside of the bag. Imagine your toy in

the hands of an industrious little toddler and tape accordingly. We are not responsible for lost or

damaged pieces. Toys typically sell very well, particularly those appropriate for ages 3 and

above, so clean out those toy boxes!

Saran wrap is excellent to use for toys with parts.

Instruction manuals will help sell an item. If you don’t have it, visit the company’s website and

download it. Put it in a sealed Ziploc bag and attach it to the item.

Affix your price tag with clear packing tape to the toy if there is nowhere to utilize a zip-tie or

string. Do not use scotch tape.

Books, DVDs, Puzzles and Video Games

Make sure your DVD’s, CD’s and video games don’t skip – chances are if you can see scratches,

it will skip. They must be in their original packaging.

Count your puzzle pieces. If it’s a 100 piece puzzle, make sure there are 100 pieces in the box.

Puzzles that are not in a box (such as board puzzles) may be covered with saran wrap to keep

the pieces in place, or put inside a Ziploc bag.

Loose Legos sell great in Ziploc bags.

Books must be in excellent condition with no rips or excessive writing (a name on the inside

cover is fine). Consider bundling 3 or 4 similar books in a sealed Ziploc bag. Saran wrap or

string can also be used to bundle books.

Instruction manuals will help sell a video game unit. If you don’t have it, visit the company’s

website and download it. Put it in a sealed Ziploc bag and attach it to the item.

Tagging

Tags must be attached to clothing and other soft items using one inch or larger safety pins (size 2 is

perfect). If the material is such that it would be damaged by the use of a safety pin, then tag it on the seam

or on the collar tag. Plastic items like toys should have their tags firmly affixed with packing tape, not

scotch tape.

Please remember the barcode tells the computer the price, so they must look clear and crisp. Check your

ink!

Do not photocopy tags or print duplicate copies of a tag if you have multiples of the same item. Each item

must have their own individual item code or it cannot be credited to your account.

Changes to your tag involving the price or whether the item will be discounted must be made in the

system, not with a pen. If you wish to change the price of an item that you have already printed a tag

for, you must do so in the system and then you must re-print the tag. Once a tag is generated, it will

only ring up the way it appears, even if it is different in the system.

Bring to our attention any higher priced clothing items or toys (over $15) so we can secure them if

necessary.

What Appears on the Tag:

Size - Sizes must be numerical, as clothing and shoes will be organized in number order.

Description – the description field gives you an opportunity to give information about the item such as

the brand name, what pieces are included, etc. In the case of a more expensive item, go ahead and

include the original retail price. Describe your items as “Brand New,” “Hardly Used,” “Retails for …

“. You want to grab your shopper’s attention and help them decide to purchase your item instead of

the similar one displayed right next to it.

A good description will also help us to match up the item to its tag if they are separated. Do not use a

description such as “Boys Shirt”. If the tag gets separated, we will not be able to match it back up.

Price - Consignors set their own prices with a minimum price of $1.00, in increments of .50.

Discount – On Saturday, anything that says "Discount: Yes" will be sold at 25% off. On Sunday, it will

be sold at 50% off. We strongly encourage all consignors to discount their items, particularly if you

wish to donate the item if it does not sell.

Donate - If you cannot return on Sunday evening by

7:30pm to pick up your unsold items, please check the

"Donate" field when you create the tag for that item, and

we will take care of getting it to a child in need! If you

choose to pick up your items on Sunday evening, there

will be a $30 no-show fee if you can’t keep your

commitment.

Any item with damage, stains,

excessive wear, missing batteries

or not season appropriate will

immediately be pulled from the

selling floor. All items pulled from

the sales floor as rejected will be

donated if not picked up by

7:30pm on Sunday evening.

Supplies

Cardstock

Every item MUST have a tag printed on 65, 67 or 110 lb. white or off-white cardstock. Do not print on

copy paper as these will tear off the item and/or not scan. Trust us - tags on regular copy paper will simply

not stand up to the hordes of shoppers and without a tag, we cannot sell the item.

Tagging Guns

Please do not use them. They cause holes in most fabrics that cannot be repaired. Clothing tagged with

a tagging gun in any place other than the tag will be turned away and not placed on the sales floor.

Safety Pins

Do not waste your money buying discount safety pins. They are not strong enough to hold your

clothes on the hanger. If the pin bends easily or pops open, your clothes will end up on the floor and

will not sell. ChickenKidz recommends Size 2 safety pins (these are 1 inch). We have had good luck

buying size 2 safety pins at www.cleanersupply.com.

Hangers

All clothing must be on hangers, no exception. If you can, use child size plastic or wire hangers for

infant or toddler clothing. Hangers should be facing to the left, like a question mark (?).

Packing Tape

You must use packing tape to secure tags to toys and other items. Do not use scotch tape – it will not

work.

Purchasing Supplies

You may purchase supplies directly from ChickenKidz:

A starter set @ $11.00:

50 children’s wire hangers, 20 sheets of white cardstock (produces 160 tags), 20 zip ties and 100 size 2

safety pins.

Additional sets of 50 children’s hangers are $7.00

Pricing

Clothing … 75% off the purchase price is the ideal starting point for pricing clothing. If your items are

new with tags or a boutique brand, price on the higher end. If you want to make sure they are sold so you

don’t have to pick anything up, price on the lower end. Shoppers quickly look through clothing for

something that catches their eye – price too high and they will just pass it by for similarly fabulous items at

a lower price point.

Equipment … items such as strollers, swings, pack and plays, etc. will typically sell well at 60-65% off the

purchase price provided they are in excellent condition.

Toys … Toys sell well at about 70% off the purchase price. Toys that are currently popular, gaming

systems, Little Tykes or Step2 play equipment or brand new items can be priced slightly higher.

CHICK TIPS:

1) Do not let the discounted prices affect your regular selling price because it simply makes the

regular selling price too high. If you increased your prices

because you are discounting them, you are limiting yourself to

only selling your items on Saturday or Sunday instead of having 5

full days for shoppers to snatch them up.

2) Base your pricing on what YOU paid for the item, not the full retail

price. For example, an item retails for $75 but after sales and

coupons, was purchased for $47. If you wish to sell it for 70% off

the price, sell it for $14 (30% of $47). Do not sell it for $22.50 (30%

of $75).

3) Remember, you will be selling your items in BULK, do not get

hung up on the price of any one particular item. There will be

many fabulous items at the sale, many of them similar, price competitively (i.e. low) and yours

will be the one at the checkout line.

4) Please be sure to bring any high value clothing or toys to our attention (over $15) so we may

secure them if necessary.

5) There will be a $10 return fee assessed for any item that is returned due to it being

misrepresented, defective, broken, ripped, etc.

Check your items before you bring them.

We strongly encourage

you to mark your items for

discount on Saturday and

Sunday. Some shoppers

only shop on discount

days. If you don’t want to

bring it home make sure

you discount it!

ChickenKidz will not accept any item for

sale that is on the government recall list.

Please familiarize yourself with the recall

list at: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prerel.html

Dropping Off & Picking Up your Items

Drop Off

You may choose a drop-off appointment that is convenient for you by clicking on ‘Check In’ on the home

page. A list of available time slots will appear – simply select the one that fits into your schedule.

If you have chosen to donate all of your unsold items, you may drop off your items and leave. If you have

chosen to pick up your unsold items on Sunday, please allow approximately a half-hour for the volunteers

to inspect your items. Anything not meeting our quality standards will be returned to you immediately.

Please do not be late for your appointment, we have a lot to do in a short amount of time.

1. Bring your items into the building. We will have volunteers and rolling racks on hand to help

make this easier.

2. A ChickenKidz staff member will quickly perform quality control, check your tags and ensure

your toys and equipment are in working order.

3. Bring to our attention high-value items that need to be secured.

4. You will be required to set up your large equipment such as swings or play equipment. Please

bring your own tools to do so if required. We can provide assistance.

5. If you are volunteering, please be sure to schedule your drop-off time after your shift is over.

6. If you drop off a large item that is later discovered to be broken or defective, you will be asked

to retrieve the item and bring it home.

Pick-Up

If you followed our pricing guidelines and priced your items fairly and competitively, you shouldn’t

have much to pick up. But if you did not choose to donate your unsold items, then you must pick

them up at the designated pick-up time. A $30 no-show fee will be assessed if you do not pick up

your items. Allocate approximately a half hour.

1. A team of volunteers will have sorted, checked and double checked your unsold merchandise to

have it ready for you for you to bring home.

2. You may review your items with a volunteer again before leaving the building.

3. Check the LOST TAGS area for your items that may have lost their tags during the sale. Please

claim any “mystery” items that may be yours. Items left in this area after 7:30pm on Sunday

evening will be donated.

4. If you are unable to pick up your items, send your husband, send a friend. A $30 no-show fee

will be assessed if you do not pick up your items. We absolutely cannot hold items. Your items

will be among those donated if they have not been picked up.

Absolutely no exceptions. If you do not want to pick up your

items, choose the “Donate” option when entering your

inventory.

ChickenKidz is not responsible for

any lost, stolen or damaged items.

Shrinkage occurs in any retail

setting and although we take

many precautions against theft we

cannot assume the responsibility if

you choose participate in this

event.

Join the Chick Squad

Incentives

Shopping - Volunteers (we call them Top Chicks) shop before anyone else. Every volunteer gets one

exclusive PreSale pass.

Money – Volunteers will earn additional percentages on their sales up to 80%. Each “shift” is 4 hours:

12+ hour volunteer (3 shifts) = 80% of your sales + 1 PreSale Pass

8 hour volunteer (2 shifts) = 75% of your sales + 1 PreSale Pass

4 hour volunteer (1 shift) = 70% of your sales + 1 PreSale Pass

If you need a shift that is 2 hours in length, just ask. However, you will need make up 2 hours

somewhere else for 5% volunteer credit. Do you need a seated position? Just ask if we can

accommodate your needs!

For those volunteers wish to volunteer in excess of 12 hours, we will be offering $10 in Chick Bucks for

every 3 hours worked in excess of 12. Please contact us before signing up for additional shifts.

Volunteering is very important to the success of the sale. If you must cancel a work shift or reschedule

your shift, please do so as soon as possible through the on-line system before it closes.

If you are a no-show without a replacement, you will be prohibited from volunteering at future sales.

We have implemented this volunteer policy in order to prevent people from taking advantage of the

early shopping benefits and then failing to work their scheduled shift. Canceling at the last minute

leaves us short-handed and unable to adequately handle traffic and sales. Please thoughtfully consider

the commitment before you sign up to volunteer.

Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes. We will have bottled water and light snacks available.

However, refrigerators are available so feel free to bring a sandwich or snacks of your choice.

Do you have a high school student

that would like to volunteer? Check

with their school or scouts group

and find out if they can receive

community credit for their hours.

Select either ‘All items in your inventory’ or ‘Items that have not been printed and not sold’.

The latter will only bring up tags for items that you have not already printed tags for – it will not

reprint tags you have already printed and tagged at another time.

Select the sale name from the drop down menu and click ‘Generate Items’.

To print all of your tags on the list, click on the button in the upper left hand corner. If you only

want to print some of your tags, you will need to click the box to the left of each item to only

generate tags for those items. Then click, ‘Generate Tags’.

The system will generate a PDF file. You want to download this PDF file by clicking on the link.

Your PDF will appear with 8 tags per page. Select the print icon and tickets will print from your

local printer. Or you can save them to your computer and print them at a later date.

Cut your tags when you are ready and attach them to your items as described in the ‘Ready, Set,

Prep’ section of this guide.

Check In

From your homepage, select ‘Check In Sign Up’ for a listing of available check-in time slots and

choose one that is most convenient for you.

Volunteers

From your homepage, select ‘Team Member Sign Up’. Select the available time slot(s) that is

most convenient for you.

Settlement Report

At the end of each day, we will download the sales data and you will be able to see which of your

items have sold. The ‘Settlement Report’ is where you will have access to this data.

From the homepage, click ‘View Settlement Report’. Do not log into ‘Manage Inventory’, this

section will always show all of your items as unsold.

Transferring Inventory to a new Sale

If you have items that have not sold, you may pick them up at the designated time at the end of the sale (if

you choose not to donate them) and sell them again at a future sale. For example, unsold toys can simply

be transferred from the winter sale to the spring sale without the need to re-print and re-tag those items.

1. Log in to www.chickenkidz.com with your regular username and password

2. From the homepage, select ‘Manage Inventory’

3. ‘Select an Event’ that you wish to transfer your items FROM (i.e. ChickenKidz/Fall/2019)

4. ‘Select a Target Event’ that you wish to transfer your items TO (i.e. ChickenKidz/Spring/2020)

5. On the drop down menu under the ‘Status’ column choose the ‘Not Sold’ option.

6. Click on the Refresh button. All of your Unsold Items will appear.

7. Check the box to the left of the items on the list that you wish to transfer (please make sure they

are season appropriate. Your bathing suits should not be transferred into the Fall Sale).

8. Click the ‘Transfer Items Now’ button

Important Note:

1. If you wish to change the price of a particular item or the Donate/Discount option, then you

must change it in the system and print a new tag.

2. You cannot bring your items to a future sale unless you transfer your items through the system

as described above. If you do not transfer your items in the system, we will have no record of

them in our system and they will not be able to be sold. Your other option is to simply re-enter

and re-print tags for all of the items that you wish to transfer to the next sale. Not very efficient

but it’s your choice.

3. You do not need to transfer ALL of your items to the Spring sale, only the ones that you will

actually bring. Transferring everything inflates your inventory. The system will "hold" your

merchandise for a period of 12 months. Therefore, you will still have access to your Fall/Winter

items and can transfer them before the next Fall/Winter sale. So leave them where they are.

4. Check to make sure you are actually bringing the items that you are transferring (for example, if

you decided to donate items at the end of the Fall sale but it is not notated in the system as such,

you will transfer the item but not actually have it to bring). Be careful with this. Match up what

you are actually bringing to what you transferred over in the system.

Let’s be frank … if someone comes to the sale and scores lots of great bargains, chances are they are going

to tell their friends about it. That means at the next sale, we’ll have even more shoppers which will make

our current Sellers very happy because they will make more money. Those shoppers are going to say,

“Hmm, why don’t I sell my children’s outgrown super fabulous items also” and then those shoppers

become Sellers. Those Sellers bring more items, which make for more happy shoppers, who tell more

friends, who eventually become savvy Sellers. And in the meantime, our children look smashing, we’ve

made some friends, we have more money in our pocket and we do a great thing for the environment.

We all win!

And on that note … get to work!!
