Just Between Friends Spring 2016 Consignment Sale

I’m so excited to be partnering with Just Between Friends Lancaster and Reading to share what’s new with their Spring 2016 sales! I participated in the JBF sale for the first time last fall. I sold at both Reading and Lancaster and earned about $500, and learned a lot! As the sale gets closer, I’ll be sharing the secret tips I learned about what to sell and how to sell it for the best price.

To encourage more moms to join in cleaning up and cashing in, JBF has some great new programs happening this spring. I’ve got the scoop below:

JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS LANCASTER

First things first: event dates. The JBF Lancaster Spring 2016 sale runs from April 14-16, 2016 at the Lanco Fieldhouse in East Petersburg. Sign up and get all the details on the website.

So what’s new this spring? There will be 3 new exciting programs to join.

1. CONSIGNOR FACEBOOK CHALLENGE

JBF knows that the consignment process can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. To work side-by-side with new consignors and break down the process into doable steps, they’ve created a new Facebook group: Clean Up. Ca$h In: #ClearTheClutter With JBF. (You can request to be added to the group!)

This is a FUN group and the 4-week challenge officially kicks off on Monday February 15 but they’d love to have you join at any time. They have JBF leaders, experienced consignors, and a professional organizer in the group and will be breaking down the consignment process into manageable chunks to help get you ready to cash in this spring!

Did someone say prizes? Why yes I did. We’ll have some incentives along the way to keep you on track with us, and in the end someone is going to win a fantastic grand prize! You’ll have to join the group and participate to be eligible.

2. CONSIGNOR WORKSHOPS

As I mentioned earlier, last fall I sold stuff for the first time. I was a little intimidated until I started organizing and pricing it. Then I quickly realized, how once you get in your groove, it really is quite simple! Yup, it really is!!

To make it even more simple for you, JBF has set up hands-on consignor workshops where they can walk you through the tagging process in person for each sale. You need to pre-register to attend and when you leave, you’ll walk out with 30 of your items tagged and ready to sell, plus the knowledge to go tag everything else you want to unload! How cool is that?!

The Lancaster Tagging Workshop is on Wednesday March 2, 2016 at 4pm at the sale location, Lanco Fieldhouse in East Petersburg. Register here to join! 

3. HUGE BOOK GIVEAWAYS FOR SCHOOLS

Just Between Friends Lancaster & Reading (and their sister sale in Oaks, too!) are all doing huge book giveaways for the Spring 2016 sale! These giveaway contests can benefit YOUR child’s elementary school, so you definitely want to participate.

How does it work?

Nominate your child’s elementary school (only elementary for this contest). We’ll have a Facebook voting contest and select 3 winners from each sale by show of ‘likes’.

• 1st Place: $250 in “JBF Book Bucks” + 20 presale passes for teachers
• 2nd Place $150 in “JBF Book Bucks” + 15 presale passes for teachers
• 3rd place $100 in “JBF Book Bucks” + 10 presale passes for teachers

Your school could win $250 in book bucks! Wow! Go here to nominate your school. 

For Lancaster: You have until March 16 to nominate your school. Voting will be on the JBF Lancaster Facebook page from March 27-April 2.
