I think we’ve finally recovered from My Consign! Maybe. My business partner and I met today to conspire for next sale, but we’ve decided to take the rest of the week off and begin again on Monday.
My Consign required way more work than either of us realized when we began. Hours and hours of foot work went into Saturday’s event. We literally pounded the pavement putting flyers on windshield, dropping off flyesr at businesses, stalking Facebook, asking friends who are in moms’ groups to find out how we could advertise to their groups, talking and talking and talking about it every waking hour of our day.
Between the two of us, 8 lbs were lost, countless hours of sleep were done without and one stress induced illness was endured. That isn’t including our poor husbands whom we neglected for two months.
In the end, we learned a lot and can’t wait to do it again! We know what we need to change for next time, know what we did right, so many lessons were learned!
We had a great time meeting so many lovely ladies that we had interacted with for a few weeks online getting ready for the sale. We’re very thankful to our first sale ever consignors, our families who helped us and endured our hours of work and talking about the event, and to everyone who supported and cheered us on.
Mark your calendars for August 4 for our first fall sale! Hope to see you all there.
