There are certain challenges when rising multiples, you will need two or more of the same item at the same time; cribs, high chairs, bikes, and so on. How do you manage on a tight budget? Maybe you can get hand-me-downs from family members or purchase second hand. But maybe you like to match or co-ordinate your twinkies, at least on certain occasions. Why not shop at your local twin club re-sale event? What a better place to get items for twins than from a family with twins!

Are you a twin club leader in charge of your re-sale event? Here are some tips from others who have had successful events.

“We have 218 members, 112 sellers and had $50k of sales for our recent Fall sale. We have a Fall and Spring sale and it’s our biggest fundraiser… We get a line starting at 8am for our 9am opening. We moved to a much bigger space, so we are looking to increase our sales further….We’re finding we need to think of ways to market our sale every year to get the word out. Fortunately, we have good word of mouth, but as kids get older, you constantly need to find new buyers. We use My Sale Manager. We’ve used it for the last 3 sales now and it’s been great. The bar coding makes the lines move faster and there’s less data entry error since you don’t have to read someone’s handwriting. A lot of sellers noticed this year that their lower priced stuff went faster than their higher priced stuff. The economy is very tough out there!” – Judy M. More
