This is how the tag will look once it is printed:
NOTE: If you want to Donate an item that does not sell: please indicate YES on the tag AND Circle it in RED. If you want your items discounted (1/2 Price) on Saturday, please indicate YES on the tag when entering your item.
Steps for making labels (You do Not need to buy tags from website, they are already paid for): 1. Register with My Consignment Manager (make sure the address you enter is the one that you want your check mailed to). For all seller numbers please use white cardstock. And hi-lite your seller number with yellow.You will need this when you print your tags.
2. After Registering, Go to Select a Consignment. Select Find a Partner Consignment. Choose State LA - Louisiana and Click Find Consignment. Select MerryGoRounds then Click Select/Register with a Consignment.
3. Sort all of your items by clothing, toys, equipment etc. Sort clothing by gender and size. By sorting prior to entering you will save a lot of time because you will only have to reenter the price and description for each similar item. It has the added bonus of having your items sorted properly for drop off.
4. Once sorting is complete, enter your items into the system.
5. Print your tags. I will email the print code (You should have recieved the print code with the confirmation email); printing can be performed at any time (you can do it all at once or in intervals) . You will need to enter the print code that is provided to you. Make sure you use cardstock (at least 40lbs) . Once your tags are printed, make sure the bar code is readable.
6. Cut tags along the dark lines. Safety pin above the dashed line on the tag. Pin the tag onto the garment to the left shoulder or the right side (if garment is facing you). See example below.
7. For other items, tape tag on large visible flat surface. Be careful not to put tape on the barcode. Use Masking Tape for Big Ticket Items. Tape 3 sides but not the barcode.
8. After all your items are labeled sort your items by size, sex and type. Rubber band clothing by size and sex and sort other items in bags and boxes for drop off (toys, shoes, books).
Notes:
1. Items without tags cannot be sold and cannot be returned to you. If your tags are missing at drop off you will be asked to re-tag them.
2. Shoes only- place masking tape with seller number on the inside of each shoe and place each pair in a Ziploc bag, place your completed tag on the Ziploc bag and tape closed. If shoes have laces, please tie together (do not use ziplock bag).
3. Label Colors: Cardstock -Use white for all numbers AND hi-lite your seller number.
4. The $10 registration fee can be paid thru PayPal during registration.
