Selling
How do I become a seller?
Watch the Facebook page. When we start accepting new sellers, we will post it there. When there are spots, a potential seller emails kidsavenueging@gmail.com saying they are interested. We send out a copy of the guidelines. After reading them over, send back the requested information as soon as possible to secure a spot.
How many sellers do you take?
We can accept 115 for the Spring Sale and 105 for the Fall. One they fill up, we start a wait list. No new sellers will be accepted within two weeks of the sale since there wouldn’t be enough time to get everything done.
Buying
Do you accept checks?
We can only accept cash and credit/debit cards.
What time do you open?
The sale starts at 9 AM but a line can form as early as 7 or 8 AM. Those with paid shopping passes will be able to shop at 8:30.
What items do you sell?
Anything related to babies, kids, and pregnancy: clothes, toys, strollers, books, Halloween costumes, sport equipment, maternity clothes, uniforms, and more.
What sizes do you have?
For clothing, we start at preemie and go up to Junior in both girls and young men. In shoes, we start at newborn and have a section for junior shoes size 8 and up.
How expensive are you?
Each seller prices their own items. The minimum price is 50 cents, but you can definitely find items for a dollar or two.
Is there an entrance fee?
Every sale we sponsor a local child or mother. We ask for a dollar donation at the door which goes straight to the family. The sellers also can donate a portion of their proceeds as well.
Boutique
Do you still have the Boutique portion?
Unfortunately, no. There will not be a Boutique in the foreseeable future. We encourage you to reach out to your favorite booth as they attend other events throughout the year.
Giveaways
What are Giveaways?
The week prior to the sale, starting on the Sunday, we give away prizes on our Facebook page. Some of these may include gift certificates to be used at the sale, a chance to skip the check out line, a chance to shop presale, and so forth. Please note, you will NEVER have to give your credit card number in order to win a prize.
Can I donate an item for the Giveaway?
More than likely, yes. We accept handmade items or Direct Sales for Giveaways, but we will only take the first one in each category (Plexus, LuLaRoe, Advocare, hair bows, etc). In exchange for a Giveaway, we will give you free publicity on our Facebook page the week of the sale. For more information, message us at kidsavenueging@gmail.com.
Volunteers
Do you take volunteers for the sale?
Short answer is it depend. All sellers have to work a shift, then we take previous volunteers. If there is a need for more, then we put word out on the public Facebook page. The majority of the open jobs are typically Thursday or Friday. If you have volunteered in the past you will automatically be added to our email list that we send out a few weeks prior to the sale.
