Savvy Ladies Boutique reserves the right to refuse any

3. PRICING
• Items should be priced in $1.00 increments—no
cents
• Minimum price is $2.00
• Ask yourself, “How much would I be willing to
pay?” A good guide is 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 of the retail
price. Name brands and hard to find items will sell for more.
• Pricing suggestions (THESE ARE SUGGESTIONS ONLY__YOU
MAY PRICE HOWEVER YOU WANT)
Outerwear/Coats: $10 and up
Tops/Dresses: $3-$15 and up
Skorts/Shorts: $2-10
Pants/Jeans: $5-15 and up
Capris/Skirts: $3 -10
Shoes/Boots: $5-$15
*Exceptions: boutique and high-end brands will be more
4. Tagging
• All items are priced and tagged by you—giving
you more control!
• Please hang and tag all clothing with the item facing
forward, the hanger hook to the left (like a question mark ?)
and the tag (index card or similar) on the right.---PLEASE SEE
EXAMPLE
• All items must be buttoned, zipped, snapped and tied
so they look their best.
• They must be tagged with a 3x5 index card (or similar)
pinned/taped vertically. Cards should appear as in example.
• If you do not want an item sold for half price at the
half price sale, mark the bottom right corner “ND”
in RED and circle the price.
• Describe the item so if the tag gets separated from
the item we can match it. Include name brand or NEW in the description
to help validate pricing.
• Tag should be on the right top side of item as you look
at it. Writing should be on the lower 2/3 of the card.
FAQ
Q: Do I have to stay during the sale to take care of my
stuff?
A: NO. You are welcome to come during the sale and help if you
would like, but we will have volunteers scheduled to work during
the sale. You simply bring your items in priced and ready to
be sold and we will take care of the rest.
Q: How much will it cost for me to participate?
A: The only cost to you is the $7 participation fee (which is
taken from the check after the sale) and the percentage that
goes to Blend to cover overhead costs.
Q: What if I am not sure how to price the items or don’t
want to?
A: Guidelines are given to help with pricing. A good rule of
thumb is 1/3 – 1/2 of retail. It also is good to consider
“What would I be willing to pay?”
Q: What if I want my unsold items back?
A: You are welcome to pick up items after the sale. However,
they must be picked up by 4:30 pm on the 18th or they will be
donated to charity. If you are unable to pick up your items
and you would like them back, you may give permission for someone
else to pick them up. Please let one of the Blend staff members
know at the time of drop-off if you will be having someone else
pick your items up.
Q: How can I come to the presale?
A: The presale is only for consignors and volunteers. Join the
fun and shop early.
Q: Why shouldn’t I just have a garage sale?
A: Garage sales are great, but they are a lot of work and shoppers
want to pay bottom dollar. By consigning with us, you eliminate
a lot of the hassles: advertising, haggling over price, strangers
at your home, concerns about the weather, and your time.
