Tot Trade Charlotte

*registered volunteers will receive an email Sunday, August 9. 

Hi everyone!  It is hard to believe that our 2009 Fall Winter Tot Trade Charlotte sale is in a little over a week!  I am very exicted about the sale and hope you are too.  I am really looking forward to meeting all of you who are volunteering.  It is going to be a crazy time but one that I am sure we will all enjoy.  This sale promises to be the biggest one yet and I think the important thing we have to remember when it comes to volunteering is that good communication is going to be a key factor. 

As always, we will have a notebook that our volunteers will need to use to sign in for their shifts.  This will be found at the checkout line.  It will be marked very clearly so that it is not hard to find. It is very important that you sign in for shifts!  I cannot stress this enough.   With the sale growing as quickly as it is, we will be using this notebook to determine each individual’s number of volunteer hours.  I am hoping to be close by when you check in and will be able to direct you to an area in which you are needed. If not, please see Melisa and she will call me on the radio.The number of hours volunteered determines which presale hour you can attend. We offer 4, 8 and 12 hour shifts. The more hours you volunteer, the earlier you are able to shop.  What a great incentive to volunteer!  However, please know that all volunteers are able to shop before the sale is open to the public.  We appreciate any time you are able to contribute.

Thank you again for volunteering your time.  We at Tot Trade realize how valuable your time is and we hope you will enjoy the sale as much as we do!  Lee Anne

We have added shifts this season.  Once the shifts are taken, we are unable to add additional shifts.  Please check your schedule and select from the shifts that are listed.  You can find the shifts by either creating an account or log onto your account! Thanks in advance for your enthusiasm and energy!  We are excited to have you help this season!

Hey mom, we hope that you have our sale dates on your calendar…but even more important that you have scheduled some time to volunteer this season!  We need moms like you more than ever!  Volunteering is easy …..  meet new people, we provide snacks and drinks…and did I mention the presale?  Based on your volunteer shift, you will have the hottest presale ticket in town!  Every season I hear at the check out…”man I wish I was at the presale!”  Tot Trade offers options for ALL of our moms!  Tot Trade offers 4, 8 or 12 hour “super mom” shifts!  We have added some shifts…if you have a creative shift that you would like to offer, email us tottrade@hotmail.com   We’ll see you soon!  Rhonda & Jodi

Hey Mom!  We are really starting to get a lot of emails which is so exciting because we are still 5 weeks out from the sale.  What this means is that people are buzzing about the sale!  We love the excitement that surrounds the sale….keeps us moving and shaking.  A few questions that have been asked by a number of moms….so here are some answers that will help:

1. We are mailing out postcards this week (July 7) so you should be receiving them Sat/Mon.  If you need more, please let us know!
2. Tagging questions:  Please see the tagging examples found on the www.tottradecharlotte.com website.  You will need to scroll down and look at all the photos.  We are working on a video short if we can get it loaded to YouTube so you can see the tagging in action.
