Benefits of Volunteering

VOLUNTEER At The Sale And Shop Early On The Presale Day!

An event like this relies on volunteers to make it happen. We need help with all kinds of tasks: from set up and tear down, to inspecting items, helping customers during the sale, and breaking down when the sale is over. There are morning, afternoon and evening shifts during the week and on weekends.

HOW and WHEN TO REGISTER FOR A VOLUNTEER SHIFT

Best Dressed for Less has organized our volunteer structure to allow as many consignors as possible to volunteer.  At previous events our volunteer schedule filled so quickly that many new consignors were not able to sign up for even one four hour shift.
 
The schedule will be expanded each week until one week before the start of the event.  Every Monday additional slots will be added to most shifts.  If you find the shift you desire is full one week, be certain to check the schedule the following Monday evening at 9PM for new openings on most shifts. Every week shifts fill quickly. Logging in at 9PM is your best opportunity to get the shifts you want.  We will not have a volunteer shift waiting list since volunteer openings will be offered on a regular basis in the weeks leading up to the sale.

All consignors earn a base 60% of their sales (without volunteering).  As a consignor, you can earn additional commission by volunteering for a maximum of 4 volunteer shifts:

We are also holding two special drawings for our three and four shift volunteers. 

There will be very few people who can commit this level of involvement (12-16 hours) so your odds of winning will be very good!

As a reward for your time, we have a special Volunteer Presale.
You get the first chance at great deals!!!

All Consignors are automatically eligible volunteers (just log in).
Sign up can be done easily online. You will receive sale notices plus reminders about your shift.

It’s easy to choose a shift with our online schedule.

Types of Positions Available

SETUP OR TEARDOWN requires some heavy lifting, carrying or building… Husbands are most appreciated on these shifts! Sending a husband counts as a work shift for a consignor! We need MANY volunteers during teardown to help breakdown the racks and tables and move out of the space.

As a MERCHANDISER your job will be to assist customers, answer questions and keep the merchandise neat in designated departments (clothes, toys, shoes, furniture).

As a BAGGER, you will be able to talk to customers at checkout while bagging things up.

As a GREETER, you will be posted at the front entrance, greeting customers as they enter the sale.

SECURITY: Send your husband to work a volunteer shift as part of our security team.

We can not allow babies or children to accompany moms during a volunteer shift for safety reasons.  Please think about sending your mom or husband to work a shift in your place if you cannot volunteer, or as an additional shift for yourself. If your mom or husband will be volunteering for you, please send an email to kris@bestdressedsale.com with your names and assigned shift choices (after completing the online schedule) so you will be compensated correctly. Both you and your mom or husband will be able to shop EARLY!

Volunteer Policy 

When you select a volunteer shift (by clicking the Consignor Login button at the top of the page) you are agreeing to the terms below:

In order to achieve a high quality event, we rely on a sufficient number of volunteers. Best Dressed for Less requires that volunteers fulfill their obligation and complete the shifts they sign up for. All volunteers must be on time and complete their entire shift (unless released early by Best Dressed for Less owner) to receive the benefits. Please understand that we can not allow children to accompany you while you work.  Consignors also may NOT drop off their consigned items during their volunteer shift- if volunteering during drop off. 

If you find it necessary to cancel or reschedule your shift, please do so as soon as possible. You can remove yourself from a shift and/or sign up for a new shift by logging in to the Volunteer Registration system via the Consignor Login button at the top of this page. If an emergency arises and you need to cancel your commitment with us, please let us know as soon as possible.

Volunteers who do not follow through with their commitment will not be allowed to volunteer at future sales, which means no shopping at future Volunteer Presales.  Best Dressed for Less will deduct 30% from a consignor's final earnings check if a scheduled shift is not completed. If you send a replacement, your benefits will not change. Extenuating circumstances may be considered (such as a death in the family) and the volunteer would be allowed to volunteer again, but the deduction may still be taken at the discretion of Best Dressed for Less management. 

Please note that this policy has been created in order to maintain a high quality sale. We want to attract only those volunteers who are responsible and dependable. Please thoughtfully consider the commitment before you put your name down for a shift. Positions are limited, and you could be taking up a spot someone else would have gladly filled. If you cancel at the last minute, we may not be able to find someone to fill your vacancy. Thanks for your consideration.
