Tagging Instructions:
What is the ONLINE TAGGING SYSTEM all about? Our online tagging system allows each registered consignor to inventory all of their items. Each consignor inputs all of their item information, such as gender, size, description, price, donate, and discount all online and then is able to print out all of their tags. Once an item is purchased at the sale, we scan your barcode. You will be able to see which items sold once all the tags have been scanned in the system. All consignors need to sign up for our online tagging system. Your consignor number will be assigned by the online tagging system. Please do not use your old consignor number. You will need to set up a password to access your account on the online system. All items MUST be entered into the system by 11:59 PM on Monday March 5, 2012. Please make a note of the deadline, you will not be able to make any changes to your inventory after the deadline.
1. First, arrange your clothing items in order by gender and size.

b. Select size
c. Enter the description of the item. Be descriptive. It will help your item sell
d. Enter price - Miust be in $.50 increments. As a general rule, price your items at 1/4 of the original retail price. If an item is like new and name-brand, you can price it higher. If an item has been well loved and not name-brand, it should be priced on the lower end. Also, if you are looking to not have to take anything home at the end of the sale, price your items to sell. Best to ask yourself, "What would I expect to pay for this item?" Price it no more than what you would be willing to pay.
e. Select Discount- Check the discount box if you want your item to be sold at half price on Sunday during the half price sale. If the box is not checked your item will not be sold at half-price and may miss its chance of being sold.

5. When you are ready to print your tags: Select one of the 'Print Tags' options from our online tagging system. Please use only cardstock. Printing should be high contrast (dark print on white/light colored paper) and clear. If the printing isn't clear, try cleaning your printers head.
If you don't have access to a printer which will print on cardstock then after printing on paper please staple your paper tags to index cards or cardstock. Also, EXTREMELY important, make sure the back of the tag is blank. If you print tags on both sides of the paper we have no way of knowing which item actually sold. Please remember to clean your printer heads and have adequate ink in your printer. If your tags print faintly they will not scan. Finally, please make sure you are printing your tags full size, or 6 tags to a page, smaller tags do not scan and are also difficult for some of our elderly shoppers to read.
If you have any questions please contact us at jency@cozytots.org. If the tags do not pop up in a new window, try turning off any popup blocker you may have running. If you are using Firefox, please print your tags using Internet Explorer. There are printing issues with our tags when printing from Firefox.
