Moms Helping Moms

Encores Consignment South is joining forces with Diaper Bank of Williamson County benefiting Graceworks! Donate diapers to moms and babies in Williamson County! Diaper Need is the struggle to provide babies with clean, dry diapers. One in three U.S. moms struggle to provide diapers for their baby. A lack of diapers has many detrimental outcomes for children and families’ health, economic, emotional well-being and educational opportunities.  Drop off diapers at any time during consignment sale hours. For more information go to www.facebook.com/DiaperBankWC OR contact Emily Fengler at emilyfengler@mac.com

Presale Tips

It is almost time to shop! Consignors will shop Friday at 5pm and their guests will shop at 8pm. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you are getting ready to shop and while you are shopping.

• Make sure you sign up to line up (you can do this Friday morning starting at 10am, there is a link on your consignor pass).
• Bring a large tote, collapsible cart, etc to put all of your items in/on as you shop. There are some carts but not enough for everyone.
• Wear comfortable shoes/clothes.
• Your pass is only good for you (one person per pass) tell your friend to call/text you when they get in at 8pm with their guest pass. Shoppers who are using the Guest Pass to shop at 8pm DO NOT have to sign up to line up.
• Leave your children with someone who you trust so you can enjoy an evening of shopping and not have to worry about rushing home. 
• New this sale - Childcare is available for 5-10pm. $15 for the first child and $5 for each additional child.  
• There are no children under 10 allowed in the sale unless they are worn on your body. 
• Make a list of what you are looking for. If you want big ticket items, such as furniture, go there first, they sell quickly. 
• Eat an early dinner or at least a big snack before you come if you are planning on shopping for a while. 
• You can also bring cash to buy snacks at the concession stand. 
• Have fun!

tips for consigning newborn items

Here are a few tips for you as you begin getting your newborn items ready for the sale. 

There is a 15 hanging item per sex limit for the entire range of size Newborn – 12months.  Babies don’t wear out their clothes and we can’t possibly sell all the newborn clothing that our consignors have! So we must make some kind of limits, but below are tips to help you:

•    Pick out your best outfits to bring and make as many sets as you can,  shoppers LOVE entire sets of things like a Gymboree outfit with all the matching pieces.

•    When making sets, put 3 tops the same size, or 2 pants, or 2 rompers, etc together on one hanger.

•    Anything neutral that the opposite sex can wear can count as 15 for the opposite sex.

•    Price your items for what you would pay for them. 

•  You can bring Ziploc bagged items, for example 3 tee shirts together or sleepers that are the same size, etc.  (Outfits do not sell as well in the baggies, the baggies will be put in large bins on our Linen Table. Please be sure they are pristine.)

 •    Your consignor number and tags work at all our locations. Take your extras to our other locations if you have tons you need to sale.

We hope these are helpful. If you have other tips leave a comment to share with our other readers.
