  • Test print two pages of tags to make sure your tags will print correctly.  You may need to change your printer properties to make the minor adjustments needed to correctly print a tag.  See Printing Issues.
  • Prepare items before you enter them into TagIt.  They are then easier to track and match with tags.
  • Sort items by general description before you enter them into your master list.  This will make entering items quicker (just use the “copy from highlighted item when adding” button).
  • In description (adding new item), a shorter description is better.  You are more likely to match similar items and fit the entire description on the tag.
  • Back up your data regularly!  Select “Backup” from the File menu.
  • Print out the Worksheet report and bring it with you to check-out.  This will help you quickly track your items.
  • After a consignment event or garage sale, do not remove tags from your items.  This allows you to quickly match new/updated tags with existing (not yet sold) items.
  • Enter sale results ASAP after a sale event.  When finished, print out needed reports to keep on file.
  • After your first sale, to move only the active items (not yet sold) into a new sale, right click over the “select” column and choose “select all active”.  You can then easily move those items into a new sale.
  • In between sales, store items in numerical order in boxes or tubs.  Label your container with the item number range (i.e. 1-76; 77-150).
  • Keep in mind that at consignment events where tags are NOT returned to you, it is difficult to track your sale outcome exactly.  This is especially true with items you mark for discount and/or donation.
