Registration has opened for our September 23-25, 2010 event!
There are a few things you will notice have changed since our March event. Our website is currently being updated with the correct information.
However, these changes are detailed below:
CHANGE OF VENUE:
As anyone who has shopped, consigned, or volunteered knows, we had out grown our space. Raintree was an absolute delight to work with and we cannot thank them enough for the hospitality that they showed us and all involved. Highland Baptist on 34th and Quaker is the new Cradles 2 Crayons location starting with our next event! We are excited about the growth!!
CONSIGNOR FEE:
For the past 8 sales, the consignor fee has been $7, below average for consignment sales in similar markets. We implemented several improvements without an increase to the consignors: bar code system that allows you to enter inventory online, an electronic sign up process, a 4th and 5th pay station to help expedite sales, a change of venue to allow easier shopping and increase sales, increased advertising/ a marketing team, and credit card capabilities that enables shoppers to have a wide variety of payment options. These improvements allow more of the consignors items to be sold which increases your profits; however, all of these things cost money to implement. We are forced to increase the fee to $10.
DROP-OFF TIMES:
Due to the change in venue, we are able to set up earlier and prepare the set-up for drop-off sooner. Drop-off times have been changed. Wednesday, September 22nd, 7pm-10:30pm and Thursday, September 23rd, 11am-1pm are the new times. All time changes have been reflected on the website as well as the seller agreement.
We are excited about the changes that are occurring and look forward to a smooth transition. If you have any questions about the above changes, please feel free to e-mail one of us or e-mail Info@cradles2crayons.net. We look forward to working with you this fall.
Registration is open! Be sure to activate your account and transfer items from the previous sale. If you are a new consignor, the details of being a consignor can be found in our consignor tab on our web page. www.cradles2crayons.net
