Consignment Store Management

Consignment Store Supplies

Many a resale shops has been forced to close because good values for supplies weren't known. Dare say that shops purchasing labels and sundry items from consignment-software vendors unnecessarily paid a middle man. Over time labels and the printers and ink to print them can become the largest expense.

Great sources of price labels and hang tags are Barcode Warehouse (888-422-9249) and Kenco (800-865-3626) for thermal labels and an office supply store for sheet labels. In Canada: WR Display in Winnipeg (800-665-8447).

Store Supply Warehouse is a good source of discount merchandise bags, metal pegboard, paper bags, pricing guns, sticker and tagging fasteners, store fixtures, t-shirt bags, economy banners, body forms, hangers, sale signs, shoulder covers, hanger size markers - all with quick shipping and reasonable prices.

They are also a good source for boutique display cases, dressmaker forms, finials, hangers, jewelry displays, shoe stands, signs, and store mirrors.

They have full lines of Bubble Shipping Bags, Cellophane, Crinkle Paper, Gift Certificate Forms, Gift, Apparel and Vu-Top Boxes, Jewelry Boxes, Ribbons and Bows, Stickers and Embellishments, Tissue, Boxes & Packaging, Web Order Packaging, Tape and Supplies.

Consignment Store Insurance

Should you pay for insuring your consignors' property? That would seem to be an unnecessary expense if your consignors will agree that the property belongs to them and is their 'possession' (even though reasonable care may be your responsibility) but when it comes to insuring against theft, fire, flood, and all else, save money by not taking on that burden. You might also include in your consignment agreement that you will not be held responsible for damage.

If you're renting a building, insuring it against 'acts of God' is an expense to be borne by the building owner. Maybe you should only insure against loss related to things that belong to you. Best Consignment Shop Software keeps a real-time record of all shop-owned items and the program allows pictures to be taken, but for insurance purposes, it may be sufficient to take pictures of groups of inventory, sections of the store, etc.

Consignment Store Contract

See this one coming: Liability. You will be doing an awful lot to make it possible for those around you to clean out their closets and realize a little money back on the things they no longer use. You'll be paying for things they take for granted like credit-card processing, advertising, labor... We don't want to waste precious net dollars on making concessions over lost, stolen, or damaged articles. Divest yourself of this possibility in your Consignment Agreement. Consignors expect it and go along readily. It's the "10%" that you must protect yourself from - that minority that will seize the opportunity if you leave this barn door open. You don't need to spend money having an attorney prepare or review your contract. Use common sense. Slant it in your favor which simply means 'protect yourself'.

Selling online? That's brave. What's worse? Losing a few sales because you don't offer guarantees and returns, or signing that blank check leaving yourself open to the many internet thieves who have learned "VISA is my friend and all I have to do is whine about product representation, description, delivery, and another 1,000 other acceptable excuses for chargebacks."

Better? Don't attempt to sell online. Watch the movie, "Girl Boss" on Netflix.

What is Consignment Accounting?

Keeping track of (or accounting for) every penny in a consignment operation is 'consignment accounting'. The variations related to consignment spawned a generation of software programs specifically coded for this form of business, as common accounting programs like QuickBooks and Peachtree don't have adequate functionality.

What Is Consignor Share?

People of course place their belongings on consignment with a consignee in hopes that they will receive a share of the sales proceeds, often referred to as the consignor split. The amount or percentage that consignors are to receive depends upon several variables like the value of items, location, and competition. See What Is A Fair Consignment Percentage? Average? Typical? for suggestions.

Consignment Store Names

It seems wise to include 'Consignment' or 'Resale' or 'Thrift' in a business name so people can know what the business is about. Perhaps names should at least suggest the type of business, like 'Samantha's Closet', 'Second-Hand Stuff'...
