Grand Opening Consignment

Thank you for your interest in consignment with Daisy Jane Boutique. We are located at the Bucktown Center 225 E. 2nd St Suite 105, Davenport, IA 52801. We are a children’s boutique specializing in unique gifts for babies, young children and their mommies. We will be planning for a Grand Opening May 25th, 2007. (The Bucktown Center has special hours and events on the final Friday of each month).

We are looking to receive products in our store by May 15th to have them placed and ready to go for the May Final Friday. (This would also get all items shipped before postal rates go up May 14th). We are looking to get a sampling of products. Your shipment of products can include as few or as many products as you would like for us to sell. If you sell a variety of products, maybe look into selling a couple of each.

Below are our terms for consignment. If you are interested in product placement with Daisy Jane Boutique (further more referred to as Retailer), please convo us with your real name and mailing address. We will mail you (further more referred to as Seller) an agreement. This agreement will be returned with your product to be placed in our store.

Price
Decide on a price for your product. Place the price on your product description sheet (page 4). Retailer will sell product for your asking price. Retailer will pay Seller 75% of the selling price, and Retailer will retain 25% commission. If you would like to receive $15 for your product, then put a price of $20 on it. (Most consignment agreements ask for 40% commission, we do not feel comfortable doing so).

Terms
Decide how long you would like the product to be placed at Daisy Jane Boutique. Retailer offers placement in two month increments; two month, four month and six month. Agreement term will start on the day that Retailer receives product in the store, and products will be put onto display that day. At the end of your term, Retailer will ask if Seller wishes to have unsold product returned back to them or to extend the agreement for another term. At any time Seller may ship more products to the Retailer with a new agreement for those items.

Payment
Retailer will mail all checks and settlement statements (products that are still in the store, and what has sold) on the 15th of the month following. Special orders require a deposit from the purchaser, which is immediately passed on to the Seller. The balance of the payment is passed onto the Seller when the item is delivered.
Damage, loss or theftSeller shall be responsible for insuring the items until delivery to retailer. Once product is in retailer’s hands, retailer will assume all responsibility.

Shipment
Shipment of products to Retailer will be the responsibility of the Seller. Shipment of returned products at the end of the consignment agreement will be the responsibility of the Retailer. Shipments should include a product description sheet that details all products for sale, and preferably a photograph to inventory the products.

Sales and Promotions
If at anytime Retailer wishes to have a sale or special promotion, this will first be approved by the Seller. Retailer will run at least one ad in local newspapers each month to advertise Daisy Jane Boutique and the products.

This is a sample of the agreement, we will mail you a hard-copy one for you to keep, and one to mail back to us with your product:
