What to expect with consignment
Consignment at Moss Alley Studio
We've been vendors too. We know what frustrates you.
We've experienced consignment shops that collect their rent and disappear. Shops that lose track of inventory, pay late, or hide your products in dark corners after you've paid for prime shelf space. At Moss Alley Studio we believe vendors deserve better.
Here's how we do things differently:
Affordable Shelf Fees No ridiculously high fees that you'll never earn back. Our shelf rentals start at just $10 and cap at $30 depending on size. Want an entire unit? Take 20% off your rental fee.
Tiered Commission That Works For You We only take 5% commission until you've made back your rental fee. After that, it's 15%. This isn't just about collecting rent from you—when you succeed, we succeed. Our commission structure means we're invested in selling your products.
Weekly Sales Updates You'll receive weekly reports on your sales and low-inventory alerts. No more wondering if your items are selling or sitting there gathering dust.
Exclusive Product Categories Your products will be unique in our store. We limit competition so your items stand out instead of getting lost in a sea of similar offerings.
Marketing Support Every vendor gets featured on our social media and website. Your products won't just sit on a shelf—we'll actively promote them to our customer base.
Wholesale Opportunities If your products sell well, we offer the option to transition to a wholesale partnership. This means we'll purchase your items outright, giving you guaranteed income and freeing you from shelf fees entirely.
How Consignment Works
1. Contact Us Fill out our vendor application form on the website. Send photos of your products, tell us about your brand, and share what makes your items special.
2. Item Evaluation We'll review your items to ensure they're a good fit for our store and our customers. We're looking for quality products that complement our existing offerings without creating too much competition.
3. Approval and Shelf Selection Once we approve your application, you can choose and purchase the shelf space that works best for your products and budget.
4. Contract Signing We'll both sign a clear agreement outlining commission splits, payment timelines, shelf fees, and consignment terms. No surprises, no fine print—just straightforward expectations.
5. Display and Marketing Your items get prominent placement in the store and promotion through our social media and website. We showcase your products both online and in person to drive sales.
6. Sale and Payment You receive payment for all sales (minus commission) on the last day of each month. Reliable, on-time payments—every time.
7. Return of Unsold Items After the consignment period ends, you can collect any unsold items or renew your agreement to continue selling with us.
