Consignors Register Themselves in Minutes-No Phone Calls Needed
Consignment Helper's Online Event Registration lets consignors sign up for your sale completely on their own-24 hours a day. They browse available events, select their preferred drop-off time slot, pay any registration fees, and receive instant confirmation. You wake up to a list of registered consignors without fielding a single phone call.
The Challenge: Manual Registration Drowns You in Busywork
Registration season starts and your phone starts ringing. "Hi, I'd like to sign up for the fall sale." You take down their name, email, phone number, preferred drop-off time. You write it on a notepad. Or maybe you enter it into a spreadsheet. Then you send a confirmation email-manually.
Multiply that by 150 consignors, and you've lost an entire week to data entry. Some registrations get lost. Time slots become double-booked. Consignors who called early get frustrated when they don't hear back. The whole process feels chaotic before your sale even begins.
- ✗Phone tag - Consignors call when you're busy, you call back when they're busy.
- ✗Data entry errors - Misheard emails, transposed phone numbers, wrong time slots.
- ✗Tracking chaos - Who paid? Who confirmed? Who requested Saturday morning?
- ✗Time sink - Hours spent on registration instead of sale planning.
There's a better way: let consignors do it themselves.
How Online Registration Works
Self-service registration that runs itself. Here's what consignors experience.
Browse Sales
Consignors visit your registration page and see all upcoming events with dates, locations, and available spots. They pick the sale that works for them.
Choose Time Slot
Available drop-off slots display with remaining capacity. Consignors select their preferred time-no more double-booking or guesswork.
Enter Information
A simple form collects contact details, preferences, and any required agreements. Data goes directly into your system-no manual entry needed.
Confirm & Pay
If you charge a registration fee, payment processes instantly. Confirmation email sends automatically. Done in under 3 minutes.
Registration Features That Save You Hours
Everything you need to run registration on autopilot.
Smart Time Slots
Define drop-off windows with capacity limits. When a slot fills, it disappears from the list. No more overbooking or managing waitlists manually.
Integrated Fee Collection
Charge registration fees, early shopping passes, or premium seller packages. Payment processes at signup so you're not chasing checks later.
Automatic Confirmations
Every registration triggers an immediate confirmation email with their consignor number, drop-off time, and next steps. No manual follow-up required.
24/7 Availability
Registration stays open while you sleep. Consignors sign up at 11 PM after the kids are in bed-you see new registrations in the morning.
Custom Questions
Add your own questions to the registration form. "Will you volunteer?" "How did you hear about us?" Collect exactly the information you need.
Returning Consignors
Past consignors can update their existing profile rather than re-entering everything. Quick re-registration for your loyal sellers.
Real-World Example: Registration Opens at Midnight
The Pinewood Mothers' Club opens registration for their spring sale at midnight on January 15th. In previous years, the organizer would set an alarm, wake up, and start accepting phone calls and emails first thing in the morning. By lunchtime, she'd have 40 voice messages to return.
This year, she published the registration link on Facebook at midnight and went to bed. When she woke up at 7 AM, 67 consignors had already registered. Time slots were filling automatically. Every registration included payment. Every consignor received instant confirmation.
By the end of the first day, 142 consignors had signed up. She hadn't answered a single phone call or typed a single email. Total time spent on registration: zero.
Result: Registration ran itself. She focused on venue prep instead.
