I’m so excited to be partnering with Just Between Friends Lancaster to share what’s new with their Spring 2016 sale! Last fall was the first time I shopped and consigned at a consignment sale, and JBF was it. I got hooked on selling kids stuff for profit and learned I definitely need to shop the presale with intention!
Moms, you don’t want to miss this opportunity not only to turn that kid clutter in your house (you know it’s there!) into cash, but also to save on some seriously cute spring and summer clothes for your kids. So here’s the lowdown, 4 things you need to know about the Just Between Friends Lancaster Spring 2016 sale!
1. THE DATES
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.

2. THE PRESALES: FIRST TIME PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS, TEACHERS, AND CONSIGNORS SHOP EARLY!
This is one of my favorite things about being a consignor – you get to shop early at the presale! The presale takes place one day before the sale opens to the public, Wednesday April 13 and is only open to select groups. Here’s the schedule for this sale:
9am-9pm: 12 hour Team Members
10am-9pm: 8 hour Team Members
11am-9pm: 4 hour Team Member
Noon-9pm: Consignors + 1 guest for all of the above
2pm-9pm: Prime Time
4pm-9pm: First Time Parents, Grandparents, Foster & Adoptive Parents
5pm-9pm: Teachers
7pm-9pm: Family Shop (children and strollers welcomed at this time)
If you are a First Time Parent or Grandparent, or Foster/Adoptive parent, register to attend! It’s FREE for you to be there and get first crack at these deals! Same for you, teachers. We know how much you spend out of your own pockets for your classrooms and want want to take some of the sting out by giving you the first shot at shopping!
If you don’t fit into any one of those groups and would still like to attend the presale, grab a Prime Time pass to shop starting at 2pm for only $10. The important thing to note with the presale is that unless you are a consignor or team member, you have to register! Spots do fill up so get those tickets today. Other than Prime Time slots, they’re FREE to qualifying shoppers!
3. CONSIGNOR FACEBOOK CHALLENGE
Trust me, I know the consignment process can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. To work side-by-side with new consignors and break down the process into doable steps, we’ve created a new Facebook group: Clean Up. Ca$h In: #ClearTheClutter With JBF. (Use that link to go request an add!)
I’ve been participating in this group for a couple of weeks and it’s so helpful. I love that I can ask any question and not feel judged. Everyone is getting their questions answered and is ready to cash in! We 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.
