EVENT HELPERS NEEDED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS…

Premium Shifts (new this sale):

These helper shifts are super important to ensure a smooth event. They are during the most critical time slots and we need dedicated and energetic sellers to help during these busy times. We realize your time is important to you, so the perks of the premium shifts are amazing!

  • 8 hours long, but worth 12 hours!
  • Receive 75% (the maximum amount) of their sales.
  • Shop at 1pm on Tuesday
  • When helping during a premium shift, we ask that you pack a lunch. There will be a 1/2 hour break to eat, but not enough time to run and get food.

Before the sale:

  • Drop Off/Check In – Are you detail oriented and have an eye for style? As consignors drop off their items, our check in helpers will help direct them and make sure that all consigned items meet Scarlet Threads standards and are tagged correctly. This is a fast pace job that also requires accuracy. 
  • Organize – Do you have a knack for organization? This job is to make our sale pretty and easy to shop! Prior to the sale, help organize our consigned items according to size and category, placing them in their appropriate places on the sale floor.
  • Inspection – Our inspection shift is similar to our check in shift. You will be assigned to an area of the sales floor like clothing for example, and we will have you go through the clothing and pull any items don’t meet Scarlet Threads approved standards.

During the sale:

  • Sales Floor- Help keep the racks and displays in order and pleasant to the eye, return go backs, and help wherever needed.
  • Dressing Room – This can be a very fast pace, yet fun job ! During the sale we will have a dressing room for shoppers. As a dressing room assistant, you’ll help customers with the items they want to try on, return go backs, and keep the area organized. This is a great opportunity to be friendly and compliment shoppers!!!
  • There are also opportunities to help as a register assistant, in our hold and jewelry areas and as a greeter. 

After the Sale:

  • Sort- Another detail oriented job, sorters will be responsible for sorting through all of the left over merchandise when the sale is over. This is a crucial part of our event, as we want to ensure that we get all items back to the appropriate consignor. 
  • Pick Up- Helpers will direct consignors as they pick up their items after the sale and ensure that each consignor gets any merchandise that did not sell.

Can’t help but still want to earn perks?

  • Media Connection – Do you have a connection with a media outlet such as television, local newspaper, or radio station? Provide Scarlet Threads with a media connection such as an interview or feature and earn two 4hour shift credits.
  • Snack/Supply Shift – Contact us for more info.
