🏷️ Let’s Talk Tags!

One of the most common questions we get is: “What exactly is a tag?”
Let’s break it down and answer everything you need to know 👇

After you register as a consignor, you’ll start tagging your items in our system. Each item is entered individually, and a tag is created for it — and that tag is very important!

🏷️ What’s on Your Tag (and Why It Matters)

🔢 Your Consignor Number
This is how we track all of your items and sales. You can log into the system at the end of each sale day to see what has sold — it’s exciting to watch your items turn into money! 💵

📝 Item Description (entered by you)
This is crucial in case a tag falls off, so be specific! We recommend including:

Brand name (always first)

Color

Style or unique detail

Examples of great descriptions:
✔️ Lululemon black sleeveless tank
✔️ Free People white short-sleeve crop top

These details help us quickly match tags to items that have fallen off and get them back on the sales floor.

📏 Size
Adding size makes it easier for shoppers (and staff) to find the right item quickly.

💲 Price
Yes — you choose how much your item sells for!

💸 Discount & Donation Options

🏷️ Discount Option (Half-Price Day – last day of the sale)
Choose whether your item will be included in Half-Price Day if it has not sold already:

Select YES → your item will be discounted 50% on the final day

Select NO → your item stays full price

🎁 Donation Option
Choose whether you want to pick up your unsold items or donate them:

Donate → items are given to a local charity after the sale

Pick Up → items must be retrieved during the scheduled pick-up window

⚠️ Any items left behind will become property of Tag, You’re It

💡 Don’t worry — it’s easier than it sounds!
Once you get started, tagging goes quickly. You can tag a few items at a time, save your progress, and come back later. There’s no need to do it all at once.

🏷️ Tag FAQs

❓ Do I have to tag everything I want to sell?
✔️ Yes! Each item needs a tag so it can be tracked, priced, and sold correctly.

❓ How big are the tags?
✔️ Tags print 6 per page on standard white cardstock. Each tag measures 4¼ inches long by 2¼ inches wide.
⚠️ Please don’t make them smaller — consistent tag size makes items easier for shoppers and staff to find. This is very important!

❓ Why do tags need to be printed on white cardstock?
✔️ Cardstock is sturdier than regular paper. Your items will be handled by many shoppers, and sturdy tags stay attached, stay readable, and help your items sell!

You can buy white cardstock anywhere you buy regular paper — Walmart, Amazon, Target, Staples, and more.
💡 Tip: The Walmart brand works especially well — it’s the perfect thickness and doesn’t smear. Use whatever works best with your printer.

🏷️ How to Attach Your Tags

✔️ Clothing
Use a tagging gun (highly recommended if you have lots of items). It’s fast, easy, and saves so much time!
👉 Here’s the one I use: https://a.co/d/i05Hls3

✔️ Purses, shoes, and bags
Use cable ties. Punch a hole in the tag and attach it securely.

✔️ Toys
Use cable ties, clear packing tape, or painter’s tape. Painter’s tape works best because it won’t damage packaging.

✔️ Books
Always use painter’s tape to attach the tag to the book.

⚠️ Important reminder: Never cover the barcode on your tag — our scanning wand won’t be able to read it if it’s covered.
