Well, some will say that I was crazy enough to do another Mom to mom sale. This one was held in October and mostly selling winter items and holiday special outfits. I did bring a few toys this time around -which sold like hot cakes! I didn’t have as many outfits as I did for the spring sale, but still plenty to sell (you can read about the my first Mom to Mom sale here). This sale was held at the same event as the spring sale. I really enjoy this event since the hosts do not charge for using a rack. Others have an extra fee to use any type of rack. I really hope they don’t start the up charge since it is so much more efficient for both sellers and buyers.

I did some new things for this sale for pricing. I created price tags that went over each hanger, so that each item would be priced individually. I cut a slit in a small note sized tag and slipped it over the hanger. I also included what the item was for example if it was a name-brand item or if it included more than one top/bottom.

The rack was still used this year. I just love how everyone can see all the items on it. I also used the accent rack in the front of my space for eye-catching items and specialty items. This year I had a few pairs of winter boots on the rack, hats and mittens, winter gear, and holiday dresses.

Another great idea I used from my previous sale that seemed to open my space up more, was I used a shelf on my table that I had bought. I used two milk crates to support a long board to create a shelf. By doing this I was able to add more space and again making it easier for customers to see all my items quickly and organized. Another marketing technique to make customers see my area, even from across the room, was to hang a few extra nice pieces on the wall behind my table area.

I brought the same amount of change for this sale as I did for the spring sale. I didn’t have any issues. I feel that it was a good amount. I used an apron to keep my money organized and quick to make change. As I got larger bills I put them into my purse that I had secured under my table.

It was another decent sale. I made $16 more than the spring sale! My prices were $1 higher this time since it was all winter stuff and winter clothes are a bit more expensive even new. Some of the popular items were the winter boots, snow pants, warm pajamas, and the larger size outfits. Just as the spring sale, outfits under 24 months didn’t sell well. Same as last sale I advertised using the community Facebook page and my Facebook page as well. It was the fastest and most convenient way to get the sale information accessible. All in all I was able to make some cash and unload some clothes. I still feel it was worth while doing the M2M sale. I currently don’t have quite enough to do the next sale. My plan is for the items that didn’t sell there I may list on Ebay or keep posting to my local Facebook page for others as they are gearing up for the winter. I may also take some items to a nearby re-sale shop.
