Tags (descriptions are everything!)


The descriptions you put on your tags are incredibly important.  If your tag become separated from your item it is your description that will make all of the difference in reuniting them.  We CANNOT sell your item if it doesn’t have a tag!  Here is what you need to know about tags!
Correct Size:  Make sure you have the correct size on your tag.  This is one of the criteria that helps us match your item with a missing tag.
The first thing on your tag should be the brand name.  When we are looking up a tag this is the first thing we type to help narrow our search.
DESCRIPTION:  Just putting “jeans” is not very helpful when we are sorting through 65,000 items.  Skinny jeans, boot cut, blue, black, applique...these are all great descriptions that will help us match your missing tag to your item.  There are also common abbreviations to help with your description:
Item Condition
NWT – New with Tags
NIP – New in Package

Brands

ON – Old Navy
MJ – Matilda Jane
JOY – Just One Year by Carter’s
RL – Ralph Lauren
GYM, GYMBO – Gymboree
OKBG, OSH – Osh Gosh B’Gosh
TCP – The Children’s Place


When describing a color please use basic colors like; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, black, brown, and beige.  Colors like burnt sienna, persimmon, harvest gold, aqua, magenta, burnt umber… these are not going to help when we search because we will never guess those colors. If we key in yellow to narrow down a search and you put “harvest gold” it won’t come up in the search so we won’t be able to find your item.


If your item has a saying on it like “daddy’s little slugger”- add that to your description if you can.  That will help us narrow the search as well.
An example of a great description:
GAP white sweater
Cardigan snowflakes

This is what your Spring 2017 tags should look like:
