This weekend marks the beginning of our busy SPRING consignment shopping season- so we thought we'd share some tips with you on how to be successful when shopping at The Baby Bin Boutique and the other local consignment shops in Winnipeg:
Be organized
Bring a Tote or recyclable bag with you! Many shops also sell these types of bags for your shopping convenience- The Baby Bin Boutique offers many solutions for you in store!
Stick to the List
Always always always take a list! This way you don't forget any items that you have been on the look out for when you get start finding all the other treasures on the racks! It's okay to buy beyond your list- but this way you don't miss out on that particular item you were looking for in the first place.
Look High & Low for Sizes
I sometimes shop one to two sizes ahead you never know how fast they will grow or skip sizes. Always check/inquire about in store markdowns and sales events prior to "looking" then you can be on the look out for the additional markdowns and grab the amazing deals- instead of passing them by on the racks!
Do Your Research
I like to use GOOGLE on my cell phone. Get great reviews on products, gear,toys I am not sure about or would like the specifics on before buying. Often times when you leave an item behind in the shop to go home and do your research it is gone by the time you return to purchase it.
Shop Often
The Baby Bin Boutique puts out new arrivals every single day- so stop and shop regularly at your favorite "gently loved" shops! Check out the store's Face Book Fan Page for additional events and promotions and savings- these pages are updated several times daily for you!
Shop Where YOU Consign
Think of all the great stuff you are selling consignment.......why not shop where you drop- shops encourage you to use your store credit towards purchases made in store- and you don't need to pull your wallet out!!
Share Your Success!
If you've found a real gem of a shop that treats you well, and offers great product selection and services then tell people about it! Give back to your community by shopping locally- YOU do make the difference!
