🌟 Calling all amazing helpers! 🌟
Organizing our MMM events is no small feat, and we want to give a huge shoutout to each and every one of you who makes it possible! Whether you're a consignor looking to see your items find new homes or a wonderful mom, dad, or grandparent who enjoys a little adult time, your contribution is invaluable.
Our helper shifts are only 4 hours long, making it easy for you to find a slot that fits into your schedule. As a token of our gratitude, helpers get the exclusive opportunity to shop the event first—talk about a fantastic perk!
Starting with our dedicated consignors, we offer the chance to snag those coveted helper shifts. And guess what? If there are still openings, we'll open it up to the public, so everyone can join in the fun.
Remember, overlapping shifts don't count as two; it's all about a total of 8 hours to get that extra credit. And yes, we appreciate your hard work so much that we reserve the shopping experience exclusively for you and consignors. It's a little way of saying thanks for all your efforts.
Please keep in mind the no-guest policy during helper shopping, and while we love kiddos, this time is best enjoyed by adults. Nursing infants and kids over 10 are the exceptions, provided they stick with you throughout.
What do helpers do?
The job duties will vary based on the number of helpers and what stage of the sale we are in on the day you help. Please plan to work for at least 4 hours. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your shift starts so we can get you signed in and give you your instructions.
Set Up - Placing tables, building racks, putting together shelving, etc. This is a very physical shift. We usually set up over 80 tables plus about 1000 feet of clothes racks for each event. (Monday before the sale)
Drop-Off Inspector - If you sign up for this shift, you will want to make sure you know the rules about what is and is not accepted. You are detail-oriented and willing to inspect and communicate with consignors about their items. Consignors will place their items on the sales floor, and you will assist in directing them. (Tuesday & Wednesday before the sale)
Large Item Intake Inspector & Runner: You will help the consignors place their Large Item Claim Tickets on their bigger items, inspect the items, and help them put their items in the correct spot. (Tuesday & Wednesday before the sale)
Cashier or Bagger - Obviously, we need people to scan out the items our shoppers are buying. If you choose this shift, be prepared to say, “How did I miss that?” because you will be blown away by the great deals that come through all the way to the end of the event. We need people who are friendly and can stand for long periods of time while scanning out items or bagging items. During slower times, you may also be asked to return items to the sales floor. (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday during the sale)
Crowd Control/Door—We need helpers to direct the crowd in a couple of places. Have you ever been told that you are “too loud”? This is your job! You will point our shoppers to the next available register, remind them that we don’t allow purses or bags on the sales floor, and check in shoppers who have special shopping privileges. (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday during the sale)
Large Item Runner & Loader - Can’t handle standing in one spot for too long and prefer to move? This shift will definitely help you get in your steps! After our shoppers check out with their large item tags, they will bring them to the back door to pick up their items. You will assist them in picking up those items and double-check the tags to ensure they have the correct items. Sometimes, you will be helping our shoppers load their items in their vehicles. (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday during the sale)
Pick-up Runner & Inspector—At the end of the event, our helpers at pick-up assist the consignors in finding their items and then check that they are only taking their items. (Monday after the sale)
Dollar Dash & Tear Down - Dollar Dash is only 2 hours long. After it ends, we get the rest of the items ready to go to local charities. Then we have to tear down all of the tables and racks and clean the building. We always want to leave it better than we found it! This one is a physical shift (similar to the setup shift). (Tuesday after the sale)
Helper Guidelines
Please check your schedule before signing up for a shift. We have several shifts available – consider trading babysitting with a friend. You watch her kids during her helper shift and she can watch during your helper shift. Then you can go shopping together!
Please do not bring children to your scheduled shift. (The exception to this is a baby in a front carrier during the drop-off or pick-up shift)
Be prepared to work.
Please limit cell phone use during your shift. You can have your cell phone in your pocket, but please do not carry on conversations via text or talking during your shift.
Wear comfortable clothing & shoes. You will be walking on a concrete floor for most of your shift.
We will have snacks provided, but please do not spend more than 15 minutes in the kitchen during your shift.
If you need to reschedule before the drop-off has started, you can remove yourself online and reschedule for another shift. If you need to cancel or reschedule your shift after the sale starts, you must email us at mymommymart@gmail.com. If you cancel within 24 hours of your shift, you will not be allowed to register as a helper or a consignor for the next sale.
Please, please do not sign up for a shift unless you are sure you can make it! The success of this event depends on our helpers & consignors!
