Self-Service Portal That Empowers Your Sellers

Running a consignment sale means managing hundreds of sellers, each with questions about registration, deadlines, item limits, and payouts. Without a self-service system, every question lands in your inbox. "When can I drop off?" "How do I print my tags?" "Did my item sell?" Multiply that by 200 consignors, and you're spending more time answering emails than actually running your sale.

The traditional approach also creates bottlenecks that slow everything down. Consignors wait for you to assign numbers. They bring handwritten item lists that someone has to enter manually. They call the day after the sale asking about their earnings. Every step requires your involvement, and your time is the scarcest resource you have.

Consignment Helper's Self-Service Portal flips this model completely. Consignors do everything themselves, on their own schedule. They register for your sale at midnight if they want. They enter items during their lunch break. They print tags while their kids nap. And they check their sales results from the bleachers at their kid's soccer game-no phone call required.

The impact on your workload is dramatic. Organizations report that self-service reduces consignor support requests by 90% or more. That's not just fewer emails-it's hours of your life back every week leading up to your sale. Hours you can spend on marketing, volunteer coordination, or simply not working nights and weekends.

Imagine you're a first-time consignor named Sarah. You heard about a children's clothing sale at your church and want to sell the clothes your kids have outgrown. With traditional systems, you'd need to call someone, get assigned a number, figure out how to make tags, and hope you don't mess anything up.

With Consignment Helper, Sarah finds your sale online and creates an account in two minutes. She browses your upcoming sale, sees the fees and rules clearly explained, and registers with her credit card. She picks a drop-off time slot that works with her schedule-Thursday at 4 PM after school pickup.

Over the next week, Sarah enters her items whenever she has a few minutes. She snaps photos of the clothes, enters descriptions, sets prices, and sees her running total grow. The system guides her through every step with clear instructions and helpful suggestions for pricing.

Wednesday night, Sarah prints her tags. She bought Avery labels at the office supply store, loads them in her printer, and clicks "Print Tags." Out come professional barcode labels with item descriptions, sizes, prices, and her consignor number-no handwriting, no mistakes.

On sale day, Sarah checks her phone between meetings and sees items selling. By Saturday afternoon, she's made $347. She doesn't need to call anyone or wait for a check-the money hits her bank account the following week via direct deposit. She's already planning what to bring to the spring sale.
