Times are Changing

I have finally started my own business. It has been a dream of mine for many years and now that the kids are older it doesn't seem impossible anymore. Once again, that is one of the things I love about homeschooling. Here they will get to be intimetly involved in helping run the business. They are already learing and planning on what they will be doing.

I am the official owner of a semi annual resale event. Pass It On will happen in March and again in September for the most part. Dates are flexible but are not nailed down until closer to the time.

What is Pass it On you say. It is a large event that sells baby, kids, and maternity items. We have over 100 consigners (and you could be one of them). You get to price your items, tag them, and then we sell them for you. We have over 1000 shoppers come through so TONS of items sell. It is not uncommon for a consigner to make 200 to 400 dollars at one sale. The consigner gets 70 to 80 percent depending on if you volunteer for shifts.

If you work 2 four hour shifts, you get 75% of your sales and if you work 3 or more shifts you get 80% of your sales. It's pretty cool.

The other great incentive is that there are pre-sales for workers and consigners meaning you get in earlier than the public. We value our workers so they get to shop first. Consigners second, new moms and foster parents after that and then on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we are open to the public. It has been a huge success. I will post some pictures later, right now I don't have them on this computer.

You can look up our sale at www.passitonsales.com to see what it is like. We are redesigning the site so I am not on it yet, just Kim. Soon we will add that there is going to be an east side location and in the next couple of months you will be able to click on the site and then choose my location.

The cool thing is is that you enter all your sale items online and then it prints it out for you to put on your items. It is barcoded so you can see what you sold over the course of the sale dates.

Feel free to sign up under Kim's emailing list and she will pass it on to me for now. It's good to be on her email list because then we will email you when we get it up and running.

This is a huge event so don't miss out on it. Come and shop for your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews or friends. This event will take place in Oregon.
