Donate Unsold Items by White Tagging
The Boutique Bash makes huge contributions at the end of each sale. Please choose to donate your unsold items! It makes a difference in someone's life!
Remember that any items you tag with white cardstock will be rolled over to KE if allowed at KE if they remain unsold at sale end but all items not accepted at KE will be donated after sale end before Pickup.
If you don't use white cardstock, you must use your assigned cardstock color. We change your earnings to 55% if you use a color other than white or your assigned color.
Donating Perks...
- White Tag Consignors shop before Color Tag Consignors for full price (on Consignor full-price shopping day only)!
- Pick up your early shopping pass at Drop-off by showing us your white-tagged items before you put your items out.
- Tax Donation Receipts are available to White Tag Consignors! Pick yours up at Drop-off by showing us your white-tagged items before you put your items out.
- Consignors are welcome to tag a few special or high-dollar items they'd prefer to hang onto with your assigned color of 65lb or 67lb cardstock. So long as you tag the majority (90%) of your items on white 65lb or 67lb cardstock, you enjoy all the privileges of White Tag Consignors!
- Remember: Approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of our entire inventory sells during the sales to Crew and Consignors! At least another half of what remains sells on the first public sale day! With rare exceptions does a consignor not sell the vast majority of her merchandise unless it is overpriced or substandard. Most of our veteran consignors allow their items to be discounted, make a ton of money, and sell 90% of what they bring! Price your items to sell at FULL PRICE since that is when we have the most shoppers! And price them with the black 75% discount option so if you overpriced them, they will still sell at the KE event!
"We at St. Mark's appreciate very much your letting us come to the consignment sale to pull and take clothes and shoes for the children at Wilburn School. We relay to you the thanks of those children and staff.
Thank you also for the six boxes of elementary school books for teachers to use in their classroom libraries or send home with children who might benefit from and enjoy the reading of these books.
You are doing a great deal to help agencies trying to assist children and parents and teachers. We are thankful that you are willing to get in touch with and work with us as we attempt outreach to people at Wilburn School."
