...and no, it's not a reference to a really dirty diaper! Instead, it's a giant sale that I'll be having some time in June to slim down my newborn size inventory.
Why, you ask? Think of it this way....the trading post is like a straight line for most people. Your child is 12 months old, so you come in with all of your 0-9 month sized clothes and trade them in for the larger sizes. Now if everyone does this, then I'm left with a TON of 0-9 month size clothes and no one trading in the 5T clothes! Thus, keeping it a straight line.
My plan is to go through the enormous inventory of newborn clothes, pick out some of the older stuff that hasn't moved in a long time and sell them for cash at a discounted price. This sale will be targeting the new moms and dads that don't have any clothes to trade yet.
Now here is how I bring that straight line to a circle! I'll take the money that I make from the Newborn Baby Blow Out (NBBBO) and use it to purchase used clothes (from folks in the community) in the larger 4T/5T sizes! Now, I'll have a more even inventory and again, every one in the community benefits!
I'm asking everyone to help spread the word about the NBBBO and reach out to the "soon to be" parents. Please share this blog with everyone you know and help to bring the trading post full circle! I'll be posting the exact date and time in June as soon as I can. Those on the emailing list will hear of it first, so if you would like to be on that list just email me at michele.evans@wavecable.com .
Thanks so much for reading and Happy Trading!
