The success of OC Kids Consignment Sale will depend on the efforts of our Volunteer Workers and Staff. We need you, and in return Consignors who volunteers for at least one 3 hour shift will get 65% of your total sales! And if you choose to volunteer for two 3 hourshifts for a total of 6 worker hours you will get 70% of your total sales! Workers must be participating as a consignor and selling a minimum of 30 items to be eligible to shop our Consignor Pre-Sale event. All worker shifts must be scheduled or canceled online by Sunday March 27th. If you miss the deadline and are scheduled for a work you are obligated to work that shift time or you must send someone suitable to work the shift on your behalf if necessary. If a volunteer is unable to find a replacement and does not show for his or her worker shift they will be placed on a prohibited workers list and will not be allowed to volunteer again in our future sales. And if a volunteer misses his or her worker shift prior to the Thursday night or Sunday morning Consignor Pre-Sales they will forfeit their pre-sale passes and not be allowed to shop during any of our pre-sale events. OC Kids Consignment relies on each and every worker and volunteer in order to run our sale smoothly and efficiently. We require that you do show up to your scheduled worker shift in an effort to ensure the quality and consistency of each of our sales.
Volunteer Job Descriptions:
Sale Set Up- Be prepared for some heavy lifting or volunteer your husband to help... volunteers will be unloading, setting up racks, tables, hanging signs and more to get ready for the sale.
Drop-off Day-Accepting Sale Items- Some volunteers will be checking in and looking over other consignors merchandise. It is your responsibility to thoroughly look through all consigned items and determine if they follow the OC Kids Consignments acceptance policies. Once all items are checked, volunteers will put the items on the sales floor in the appropriate sections. OC Kids Consignment staff will be on site to aid in any questions you may have.
Pre- Sale Preparation- Volunteers must make all final adjustments to the sales floor prior to the opening of our Consignor and Early Bird Pre-Sales (early sales that are by invitation only). Tasks include setting up check-out area, double checking clothing for sizing issues, making sure everything is in its orderly place and grouped appropriately on the sale floor.During this time volunteers ARE NOT allowed to pre-shop or pull items aside before our pre-sales begin. If a volunteer is seen shopping while working a scheduled shift they will be asked to leave and forfeit their extra % of sales and possibly their Consignor Pre-Sale passes.
Public Sale- Volunteers will be removing sale tags off all items for checkout, bagging merchandise, and assisting shoppers in various needs. Volunteers will also be monitoring the sales floor for items out of place and any other problems. We will also be asking that you quickly put away any go-backs so they may be sold quickly. (This job requires less foot time than most and is great for volunteers who are expecting or have special needs)
Resorting - After Sale Clean Up- This is where we really need the most assistance. Re-Sorters are responsible for gathering up and preparing each consignors merchandise for pick-up after the sale is over. This includes sorting through all unsold sale items and putting them in the appropriate consignors pick up piles. We will need very dedicated workers that can work fast and efficiently to get this done quickly so we can allow for consignor pick up that evening.
Pick-Up- Volunteers will help consignors pick up their unsold merchandise at the close of the sale. Not all consignors will pick up their merchandise. Volunteers will monitor the sales floor to insure no merchandise is picked up or taken mistakenly, and may assist consignors in the removal of their unsold items.
There are limited volunteer positions available so they are on a first come first serve basis. Children will not be allowed to come with you when you are working your volunteer shift.
