What You Need to Know about JBF Lancaster 2016

This is a sponsored post, but my love for consignment sales is all my own. 

I’m so excited to be partnering with Just Between Friends Lancaster to share what’s new with their Spring 2016 sale! You all know how much I love consignment shopping and selling (you know, so I can shop even more)! Being able to clear out the clutter and turn it into cash is definitely a blessing. Oh, and who doesn’t love a good deal on things your kids actually need, like spring and summer clothes?

So here’s what you really need to know about the Just Between Friends Lancaster Spring 2016 sale!

The Dates

First things first: event dates. The JBF Lancaster Spring 2016 sale runs from April 14-16, 2016 at the Lanco Fieldhouse in East Petersburg. Sign up and get all the details on the website.

To get a feel for the sale and see how much space there is to fill up with goodies for you (or for you to sell your own), check out the video below.

Presale

First time parents/grandparents, teachers, and consignors shop early! Sure, getting stuff out of your house and making money is great, but getting first dibs at things your family needs NOW? That’s probably the best reason to consign!

The presale takes place one day before the sale opens to the public, Wednesday April 13 and is only open to select groups.

Here’s the schedule for this sale:

• 9am-9pm:  12 hour Team Members
• 10am-9pm:  8 hour Team Members
• 11am-9pm:  4 hour Team Member
• Noon-9pm:  Consignors + 1 guest for all of the above
• 2pm-9pm:  Prime Time
• 4pm-9pm:  First Time Parents, Grandparents, Foster & Adoptive Parents
• 5pm-9pm:  Teachers
• 7pm-9pm:  Family Shop (children and strollers welcomed at this time)

If you are a First Time Parent or Grandparent, or Foster/Adoptive parent, register to attend! It’s FREE for you to be there and get first crack at these deals! Same for you, teachers. We know how much you spend out of your own pockets for your classrooms and want want to take some of the sting out by giving you the first shot at shopping!

If you don’t fit into any one of those groups and would still like to attend the presale, grab a Prime Time pass to shop starting at 2pm for only $10. The important thing to note with the presale is that unless you are a consignor or team member, you have to register! Spots do fill up so get those tickets today. Other than Prime Time slots, they’re FREE to qualifying shoppers!

Consignor Facebook Challenge

Trust me, I know the consignment process can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. To work side-by-side with new consignors and break down the process into doable steps, we’ve created a new Facebook group: Clean Up. Ca$h In: #ClearTheClutter With JBF. (Use that link to go request an add!)

This group is super helpful, even if you’ve consigned before. Everyone is getting their questions answered and is ready to cash in! We have JBF leaders, experienced consignors, and a professional organizer in the group and will be breaking down the consignment process into manageable chunks to help get you ready to cash in this spring!

We’ll have some incentives along the way to keep you on track with us, and in the end someone is going to win a fantastic grand prize! You’ll have to join the group and participate to be eligible.
