Weekly Wrap - Hanging Clothing 👕

We sell lots of things at JBF, but the one thing we sell the most of is clothing! It's also the item that YOU bring the most of to each sale. As you are prepping your items, keep these tips in mind to grow your check.

Be picky. As you examine each outgrown item, look for heavy wear & tear, holes and stubborn stains. These can go straight to textile recycling (find a textile recycling program near you). For clothing that is in great shape and is stain-free, turn it into cash when you sell it at the Fall/Winter JBF sale!

Be clean. Toss the JBF worthy clothes into the wash. (We recommend using odorless detergent to reduce irritation for scent-sensitive Shoppers.)

Be neat. If you've got hangers handy, go ahead and hang up those clothes right away. This keeps them wrinkle-free and ready to tag! (Remember, at JBF the hanger hook opens to the left - like a question mark - when looking at the front of the item.)

Now that you are ready to hanging, check out the videos and tips below!

Clothing Hanging Tips

Hanger Direction

Be sure the hanger hook opens to the left, like a question mark. When shoppers flip through the clothing racks, its easier for them to see the items (and tags) if everything is facing the same direction.

Tag Placement

Tags should be placed on the upper left side of the garment OR when using a tagging gun, fastened to the tag in the bag. Uniform tag placement makes it easy for the shopper to find the price quickly.

Hanging Multiple Items Together

Multiple items—that are all the same size— can be hung on a single hanger. Use a safety pin (through a sturdy waistline) to attach pants/skirts to hangers. Place the last item in the bundle facing out to show off graphics and designs.

Onsies on Hangers

Multiple onesies—that are all the same size—can be hung together. Use a tagging gun fastener or a safety pin to connect all onesies together and to the hanger. This is a great option so that shoppers can flip through inspect items closely.

Create Outfits

It's okay to bundle items —that are all the same size— into outfits, especially if they were sold as a set. Secure pieces to hanger using safety pins and then zip-tie hangers tightly together so outfit remains together as a set.
