It's time to start tagging...

Yep, consignment sale season is upon us.

Hard to believe with 90+ degree weather outside, that pretty soon inside we will be selling fall/winter clothing!

Encores will be beefing up our VIP tagging service this sale as we hear it more and more...people just don't have enough time to get everything ready.

What is VIP tagging? Well, it's simple. You get everything together you want to sell. It must be clean and in great shape. A tagger picks up your items, hangs your items, tags your items and drops them off for you. All you do is pick up your presale passes if you want to shop and pick up any unsold items on pick up day unless you want to donate. The VIP tagging split is 50/50 versus the standard 70/30.

Is it worth it?

YES! I actually use a VIP tagger myself. I find that the taggers usually price the items higher than I would so I really don't find that I notice the difference in fees. I LOVE that I don't have to do a thing except get it ready. I find that I get more ready simply because the task isn't so overwhelming when I am not the one having to tag it all.

What's the worst part about VIP tagging?

You have to get it done NOW. People always wait until the last minute when the taggers are so full. Email or leave a comment and get it scheduled now. It's a great service!
