HOW TO USE A MOBILE PHONE AND ENTER INVENTORY BY VOICE (INSTEAD OF TYPING)

The fastest way to use voice entry efficiently is to organize and lay all your items in front of you, by category and size.

1.SIGN INTO WEBSITE “CONSIGNMENT LOGIN” (WWW.MOMSMARKETPLACE.NET TOP RIGHT OF PAGE

2.Enter you consignor number and password

  1. Click on Activities Menu
  2. Choose “Work w/consigned inventory”
  3. Choose Active Inventory
  4. Choose “mobile version voice entry (beta)
  5. click and Choose Category (example: Shoes Boys)
  6. Click and Choose Item Size (example: 9)

       The program will remember the category and size from the last item until you choose to change them.

9a. Think about what you are going to say before- hand -example: “black boots with laces”.

9b. HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT KEY TO SUCCESSFUL ENTRY:

  • The program will only enter the correct information in this order: Description, price, discount, donate.
  • To enter the selling price, you must say: “Price 5 dollars”. Otherwise, you will get an error
  • (Before learning this, we all thought the program didn’t understand “southern accents!”)

9c. You must say “discount” – You must say “donate”. Otherwise it defaults to no discount-no donate.   

  1. Place your cursor inside the box that says “Dictate your item here”
  2. Your keyboard will pop up.
  3. Hit the microphone icon and start speaking:

                            Black boots with laces    Price 5 dollars   discount    donate

  1. When done dictating, hit the microphone icon again.
  2. Hit submit item.
  • Note: If you need an edit, hit the button/or delete button to start over!
  1. When you are finished with all your items, following instructions for printing tags.

 PLEASE DO NOT USE A TAGGING GUN. IT SLOWS THE CHECKOUT LINES ON BUSY DAYS. IT PUTS HOLES IN CLOTHES. ALL BAR CODE TAGS MUST BE PINNED OVER THE HEART (WHEN YOU ARE WEARING THE ITEM)

TIPS FOR TAGGING:

  • Do NOT Procrastinate!  The tagging system automatically closes 5 days prior to the sale.
  • Do not alter the size of the printed tag. Bar Code scanning system is connected to this tag.  We will not  sell your item if you alter the size of the tag.  The barcode scanner will not operate on altered tags.
  • Do not have any handwritten information on the tag. 
  • What is a resort #?  It helps us return your items at end of sale.  Each sale you may receive a different resort number.  So reprint your tags so your items will be returned to you!
  • You must make a choice to discount/donate when you make the tag. We cannot change your tags.  No handwriting the word discount on the tag. The computer must read it from the bar code.
  • If you are going to donate, it makes sense to also choose discount.

What You May Sell

Remember: A consignment sale is not a garage sale. Getting rid of every single baby onesie is probably not something you want to try to do. If everyone is as picky with the clothes they sell as the clothes they buy-we ALL have a better shopping and selling experience in the end.

PROHIBITED: BULK NEW “CLOSE OUT” MERCHANDISE– LIMIT 3 OF THE “SAME” ITEM FOR NEW MERCHANDISE.

CLOTHING – Children’s sizes Newborn to Size 20, Juniors & Maternity

NO pageant or prom attire.

LIMITS: Maternity clothing-12 PIECES ONLY- strictly enforced

Junior Girls Clothing-12 PIECES ONLY- strictly enforced

 

     USE NUMBER SIZES FOR ALL CLOTHING–Newborn, 3 MO, etc. through Size 18 for all children’s clothing

  • IF YOU USE SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE FOR YOUR CHILDREN’S CLOTHING YOU WILL BE ASKED TO REDO YOUR TAGS.
  • A good way to determine size is by asking yourself “what size/age was my child wearing when they wore this?” or look at an online clothing chart.
