Tagging Tips

With the Visalia sale just 3 weeks away and the Fresno Sale 6 weeks away it is time to start tagging!!

Our tagging system at www.myjbftags.com is open 365 days a year 24/7 so you can tag anytime day or night.

Tagging Tips

•  Gather your supplies hangers, safety pins, tagging gun ( if wanted you can find for cheap on eBay), cardstock, Ziploc bags small and large, zipties or curling ribbon (for keeping shoes together), saran wrap (works great for puzzles and collections of books), packing tape to put those tags on toys and large items and also to seal those bags so little fingers don't try to take the stuff out! Also maybe a snack to munch on while you tag

• Price a 1/3 of what you paid for the item or what it retails for - You can price higher on items that are new, baby equipment, and toys. I always think about it this way when I am pricing my items. What would I pay for this item at a consignment sale? Still not sure what to price at check what a new one sells for on online.
• Check for stains, rips, tears. The sale has a high standard of quality items and inspection process. Make sure you are bringing your best. If you wouldn't buy it don't bring it
• Batteries are a must in toys.. Make sure everything has all of its pieces. Do you still have the manual if so include it with your item. Here is a website that may have the manual you are looking for Click Here
• Presentation is everything take the time to button all those buttons, snap all the snaps, clip threads. Go the extra mile and pull out the iron for those cute dresses and dress shirts. If you don't have time for that use Downey Wrinkle Releaser it does wonders. 
• Keep your items smelling fresh while being stored throw in a dryer sheet
•  Participate in our discount days and let  your items go for reduced price especially If you are going to donate your unsold items don't put a star on that item let it go on our discount days..
• If you are using a tagging gun please watch where you place the barb. Place it in the store tag if there is no tag if you look under the shirt collar there is a seam, place it in the seam. Don't put the barb where you would normally safety pin as it is likely to leave a hole and then won't sell.
• The extra time you put in getting your items ready means extra money in your pocket!!!!

•  You can set to default your items to reduce or not reduce for our discount days
•  You can set to default to donate or not to donate as well.
• Be descriptive with your tags at the least put the Brand, Color and what it is so that if the tag gets separated we can attempt to match it back up.
• Print on light colored card stock - the is because using regular paper the tags will easily tear off
• Use the print alternate feature this will print tags 6 per page
• Make sure your tags are pointed to the correct sale either Visalia or Fresno. To check log into your tagging account on the left hand side "Click" on Profile and you can change your sale location
• The Toolkit is a handy place to search for tags, make changes and or delete an item
