Earn your Choice of a $150 shopping spree OR up to 100% of your sales! -- This is an AMAZING contest with FABULOUS prizes that ANYONE can participate in! Please see below for all of the details regarding this contest.
Snuggle Bugs Message Board -- If you have ever been concerned about missing an important update regarding the event, or misplaced an email from us that contained pertinent information, we now have a message board that will help to keep all visitors to our site updated. The message board will display 'public' messages for general event information and also features a log in for consignors to access messages that are just for them. Consignors will see the message board when they log in. Messages can also be accessed via the main Snuggle Bugs page or via a tab on the navigation bar. Now, you will always be 'in the loop'!
'At the door' Crib Review -- It has always been our policy to require consignors to research their items, so that no recalled items make their way onto our sales floor. Due to the overwhelming number of crib recalls over the past year, ALL cribs will be checked for recall BEFORE they are brought in to the store. Please take the time to check these and other items at home to ensure that you do not waste your time and effort bringing in a recalled item. Any recalled items will need to be taken home with you for repair or disposal.
New Procedure for Outfits and other 'bundled' offerings -- One way to create great value for our shoppers is to offer multiple pieces of clothing for one price...an entire outfit (this works best for sizes under 2T), multiple tops or bottoms that are grouped together, a bunch of onesies...you get the idea. The challenge is keeping these items together, so that they do not become separated during the event. We have recommended in the past that items be hung separately and the necks of the hangers rubber-banded together and this has been effective...to a degree.
To ensure that no 'bundled' items get separated, we will need to go one step further and physically attach the items to each other. You can do this with safety pins or, even better, with pricing gun barbs. This will ensure that if part of your bundle falls off of the hanger, it won't hit the floor and become separated from the rest of your items. While we do our absolute best to keep items together, it is inevitable that items will slip off of hangers during the course of the event...and since bundles can consist of MANY different things, it is nearly impossible for us to re-unite stray items with the set that they come from. To keep all of your items together, all items will need to be securely attached to each other prior to drop off. Items will not be accepted into inventory unless they are securely attached to each other. This will help all of us and will ensure that the items that were brought together will STAY together.
Tagging Guns for Pricing your items -- We highly recommend the use of tagging guns for all of your clothing items. While they are not mandatory at this time, they offer a much more effective and secure way to tag your clothing items. Of the items that were tagged using a pricing gun, NOT A SINGLE TAG CAME OFF during our last event! Everyone that used one said that it cut down their clothing prep time significantly! The tagging gun offers a quick tag fastening method, with no pins to deal with, and no sore fingers! The trick with using a tagging gun in PLACEMENT, PLACEMENT, PLACEMENT. If not used carefully, a tagging gun (just like a pin) can cause permanent damage to a clothing item. All you have to do is be extra careful and you will find that using a tagging gun is both fun and efficient! We recommend using 3 inch barbs for all of your clothing items.
Early Bird Drop Off -- We will have a special drop off time JUST FOR EARLY BIRDS to help you get in and get out quickly (no waiting in line behind consignors who need to label their items!). We tried this, with great success, at our last event. How it works...By participating in the early bird label pick up, you have an additional drop off opportunity that is not offered to everyone. Please note that this is a SELF-SERVE drop off option. Although we will have a handful of volunteers on site, they will be responsible for sales floor organization. We will provide guidance on where things are to be placed on the sales floor. The areas are well labeled, we will have maps of the sales floor available, and some products will have already been placed. This drop off is available ONLY to Early Birds who have entered AND labeled their items. NO LABELS will be distributed at this drop off.
You will be expected to have your items ready to go from your car to the sales floor when you arrive. (THERE WILL BE NO LABELING, HANGING, TAGGING, CLEANING, ETC being done during this special drop-off).
**Contest Details**
First, you do NOT have to be a consignor to participate in this contest. Our shoppers know people too who might want to get a great return for items their families no longer need. There is no time to waste! If someone is new to consigning, they will need some time to get their thoughts and their things organized. So, read on to learn what this is all about...
This is a referral contest. Refer the most NEW consignors for our Spring 2010 event, and receive your choice of a $150 shopping spree OR an EXTRA 20% consignor payout (on top of what you have already earned)!
Unlike referral programs that we have offered in the past, this is a CONTEST! The person who gets the most NEW consignors to join us for our Spring 2010 event, will win!
**We promise to be VERY fair with everyone and greatly appreciate your participation in this program. Please read the Guidelines below VERY CAREFULLY**
We will strictly follow these guidelines to determine referral credit:
Referred consignors MUST list YOUR NAME AT THE TIME OF SIGN-UP.
No referral credit will be given after initial Sign-Up.
To be fair to everyone, referred Consignors MUST list your name AT THE TIME they sign-up for the event. The FIRST name they write on the form will be used to determine credit for this program. (in case they write more than one name) No referrals will be credited after initial sign-up.
Each referred consignor must participate with a minimum of 15 quality items for the sale.
Your own personal registration does not count toward the referral program.
Consignors who are referred and sign-up, but don't submit their items for the event, will not count toward your incentive. This contest will only be successful if the consignors you refer actually participate.
Each new consignor will be credited only ONE time. In other words, once someone is signed-up, no one else can take credit for referring them. So encourage all of your friends, family members, neighbors, and co-workers to participate NOW! When they sign-up, they will be asked if someone referred them. You'll want to make sure that it's YOUR name that appears on our records! Please let them know to put YOUR name on the form so you will get credit! No referrals will be credited after initial sign-up -- NO EXCEPTIONS. Good luck! We are looking forward to working with you!
The winner of the contest will be announced on or before September 9th when the Team Snuggle Bugs presale begins.
Snuggle Bugs & Company will, by its sole discretion, decide the appropriate level of credit to be granted to participants of this contest. We promise to be very fair with all of you and we appreciate your efforts to help us build our business.
