Remix - A Women's Clothing Swap Party
We’ve had many requests for us to carry women’s clothing, but based on our sale history, it just isn’t feasible to take up rack space needed for children’s clothing for these items, which don’t sell as well. That doesn’t mean we can’t pass on those outfits we loved in the store but didn’t quite work when we got home or pick up new to me outfits without spending a dime. Those thoughts developed into Remix, a women’s clothing swap party.
How does it work? Children’s Market consignors and volunteers can bring 10 to 30 pieces of your clothing, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories with you at drop-off on Sunday or Monday. We will have a separate room set up for you to drop off your items. During Tuesday’s pre-sale, from 5 pm until 7 pm, anyone participating can visit the Remix room to pick out new to you items in exchange for what you’ve contributed to the swap. We’re talking no pricing, no tagging, no coming back to pick up leftovers. Anything left after the swap will be donated to Second Chance and Community Enabler for their clothes closets.
For each item you bring in a category, you’ll receive one exchange ticket for that category. Tickets can be swapped down to lower categories, but not swapped up to higher ticket items until 7:00. At that time, anything left is fair game for all participants.
What are the guidelines? · Please bring 10 to 30 items you no longer want (tops, pants, suits, dresses, scarves, hats, belts, coats, jackets, pajamas, sportswear, lounge wear, robes, formal wear, etc). Bring only current styles (purchased in the past 3-4 years) in good condition that can be worn by someone else. Make sure they are free of any odors, stains, excessive wear, etc. Freshly washed clothing of any season is welcome. All leftover clothes will be donated to charity.

Phase 2 - An expanded adventure
After the first year of Children's Market, God showed us that we needed to be reaching to families with teenagers as well as families with younger children. We've accepted junior and young men's sizes for several years, but haven't concentrated on those sizes as much as we could. One day we turned around and realized how many kids have grown up with our sale over the years who weren't ready to outgrow Children's Market. They needed more than just a couple of racks, though. The idea for Phase 2 was hatched in 2010 and it will launch in Spring, 2011.
Phase II – For Tweens & Teens
Bring us your well cared for things that you just don’t use anymore and shop for some new-to-you items without spending a fortune.
Look through your closet with the eye of a shopper. Choose those “right season” things that are still in great shape and are current in style. Things that are too worn, smell of pets or smoke odor, or have stains or other flaws will not be accepted for our racks. Make sure everything's fresh, clean, and all clothing is hung up. Be sure to visit our website at www.jaxfumckids.org for our guidelines on preparing your items. You must register as a Children's Market consignor to participate in the Phase II sale during Children's Market.

Consigning 101: Hands-On Workshop
Are you interested in learning about the growing trend of consigning? Have you considered participating in a sale, but hesitate because the process sounds intimidating? Have you tried it before and were disappointed with the amount you received compared to the effort you put into consigning? We would like to introduce you to simple ways to succeed in the world of consignment sales.
Learn how easy it is to turn the stuff in your children’s closets into profits without feeling overwhelmed! At the workshop, we will provide:
■An overview of consigning and the various basic tagging systems sales use, from handwritten tags to online data entry systems;
■Time saving tips for organizing and preparing your items;
■Visual demonstration on how to prepare/hang/tag your items and the common pitfalls to avoid;
■Ideas to increase your proceeds check;
■Hints for getting the biggest bang for your buck when consignment shopping;
■A simple guide to pricing;
■A question and answer session;
■A basic tagging kit to get you started with any sale.
(Although we’d love to have you consign with us, attending this workshop does not obligate you to participate with Children’s Market. There are several great sales in our area. It’s important to find the one that fits you best.)
What to do: Send us an email (market@jaxfumc.org) to reserve your spot at the session of your choice. Please include a contact number and your name. On the day of your session, arrive with 5 easy to handle items from your child’s closet, toy box, or nursery that you would be interested in consigning. We will show you how to prepare, tag, and price those items. In addition, there will be a brief demonstration of how our inventory system works at Children’s Market.
Come and join us at one of our three sessions:
Sessions 1 & 2 will be at First United Methodist Church, behind McDonald’s in Jacksonville
Monday, February 7, 9:00 am and Wednesday, February 9, 6:00 pm
Session 3, our Saturday luncheon workshop, wil be at Java Jolt in Jacksonville, Saturday, February 12, at 11:00 am
The sessions are free. Light refreshments will be served at the church on Monday and Wednesday. We request that you purchase a meal from Java Jolt's yummy menu for your lunch at Saturday’s session.
If you're interested in attending, please send an email (including your name and which session you would like to attend) to market@jaxfumc.org to reserve your space. Seating is limited at each session.
You’ll be amazed at how simple and fun consigning (and shopping) can be!
