Ten Ways Just Between Friends Helps Families To Live Greener Lives
1. JBF teaches families to take better care of their things so that
they are able to resell/recycle them when they no longer need them. The more
care they take with their items, the more money they make consigning at each
sale.
2. JBF events are consistent and provide a single location, where
families can buy/sell the items they need for their families, without
spending a great deal of time and gas money every week running around town
looking for the items they need at the prices they can afford.
3. Children are our focus. We believe that setting a good example for
how to live green should start when kids are young and continue as they grow
and are able to participate in the consignment process.
4. JBF loves teachers, we sell books, toys and learning games to use in the
classroom. Teachers can be green by recycling these items. As kids use these
recycled items in the classroom our children can be green too!
5. We rely on word-of-mouth advertising and 24/7 online availability,
which saves paper and keeps our costs low and our ability to serve and
respond to the needs of our consignors, shoppers and volunteers high.
6. Each JBF franchise is owned by a bargain-savvy mom (and dads)
who knows the value of a good deal and how to be thrifty and clever in every
aspect of business. From reusing signage, to sharing racks, to recycling
plastic hangers and shopping bags, to working with charities who can utilize
unsold items, JBF strives to save money and preserve resources wherever
possible.
7. Even if they don't have anything to consign, new and expecting
parents, who need practically everything, can purchase all types of items at
greatly reduced prices (compared to retail). Once a child outgrows their
parents' first purchases, it is time for another event and moms and dads are
able to shop for the next season and consign the items their children have
outgrown, thus, continuing the "re-cycle."
8. Just Between Friends offers moms the opportunities to consign in
multiple JBF sales events. By using the exclusive JBF barcode tagging
system, consignors can participate in more than one sale and never have to
re-tag their items.this saves even more time, paper and ink!
9. JBF brings mothers and families together in a positive and
encouraging environment that acts like a catalyst for networking with other
kid-friendly groups and organizations that might not otherwise have the
advertising budget to reach out into the community in such a pervasive
manner.
10. Because we are committed to children and families, JBF works
diligently to make sure that every member of JBF is made aware of any
potentially harmful children's items that have been recalled by the
manufacturer because we firmly believe that one of our greatest resources is
our children.
