What Do Our Volunteers Think?
Dear Pam & Jennifer,Over the last 7 years of consigning, shopping and volunteering with WeeTRADE, I have received such high quality children's clothes, great buys and some extra spending cash taboot! I have to say, it is truly the volunteering that drives me. Having 2 boys at bigger sizes is hard to find nice brands at a decent price, therefore, by me volunteering, I can take advantage of the pre-sale and stock up on the boys seasonal clothing! It is such a win-win for me every time and I thank you two for allowing me to partake in yet another sale!"
Looking forward to another great sale & volunteering too!
A long time, loyal WeeTRADER,
LeAnne Chrischilles
Volunteer Guidelines
- You must be a registered consignor that consigns for this sale OR non consignors must email us directly for limited shift availability
- NO CHILDREN under 10 allowed while working unless nursing infants (contact us first)
- By signing on to volunteer you are accepting the responsibility of working your entire 3 hour shift.
- Your shift will be very busy. We need your full attention and hard work, but you'll still have lots of fun too!
- Want to volunteer and can't find a shift that works for you, email us. We are happy to work with split shifts or any adjustments we may be able to make to accommodate you.
Emergency Policy:
Once you have signed on for a volunteer shift, you are committing to volunteering with us. Cancellations must be made within 10 days of your shift or you will forfeit your chance to volunteer the next sale. While we understand that emergencies do arise, and that you will make every effort to make your shift, if you are unable to for any reason at all we ask that you either find a replacement OR notify us within 24 hours of your shift so that we can find you another shift so you do not lose commissions.
Missed shifts will result in 15% commission reduction and a fee of $15 charged. You will also forfeit your chance to volunteer the next sale. Please understand that once you have committed to your shift you are taking a spot that someone else could accept in order to preshop so it's very important that we keep our spots filled and the reward of preshopping accessible to as many as we can. We also count on everyone that signs up to keep the sale running smooth at all times, making the overall WeeTRADE experience a positive one for all.
Bartering
We are also open to bartering. If you feel you have a special service to offer, don't hesitate to offer your idea as a trade for a shift.
- We NEED a STORAGE Option for our racks within 10 miles of San Marco
- WE NEED MOVERS!--if you have the ability to help us in moving our racks let us know! We need movers to take us down to St Johns and back up!
- We are always looking for ways to publicize our sale! We need exposure via tv, radio, newspaper--do you know someone that could help us spread the word about our concept of Going Green-Recycling, Saving Money and Making Money in today's strained economic times? We'd love to spread the word about our adopted charity FAMILY PROMISE too!
- We love to see our name in print--do you have the ability to offer us printing services, ad specialty items, store signage, laminating etc?
- We provide dinner & lunch to our workers on PreSale Night & Break Down Day. Do you know a caterer/restaurant willing to supply food or snacks?
- There are many options. Let us know what you might be thinking and we'll see what we can do!
