ConsignmentMommies Celebrates New Site with $100 Target Gift Card Giveaway

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 29, 2010 -- Across the nation, savvy moms are going ga-ga for children’s consignment. And now, ConsignmentMommies.com is giving them even more reasons to jump on the consignment bandwagon. The site is offering a chance to win a $100 Target Gift Card to mommies who join them on Facebook, Twitter, by email or who invite their friends to do the same!

The reason for celebration? ConsignmentMommies.com has redesigned their already-popular consignment directory and social network site to include more ways for swap savvy moms to make money with children’s consignment. Until now, the site focused on listings for seasonal children’s consignment sales – offerings, ratings and reviews so moms could help each other find the best sales. Now, ConsignmentMommies.com offers listings for stores and shops and has a growing collection of articles and advice from veteran consignors and shoppers.

The site is quickly becoming a go-to resource for consignment sellers and shoppers. In February 2010, ConsignmentMommies.com went national. Within 3 months, the site received over ¼ million pageviews, 1,000 sale listings and over 3,000 comments on those sales. “It’s finally ‘cool’ to be thrifty,” says founder, Chrissy Freeman. “Add one part recession, one part green movement and sprinkle in stylish, budget conscious moms. Consignment has a recipe for success.”

Freeman hopes her site will help educate mommies on the income and savings potential of consignment shopping. She estimates that a mom can make $400-500 a year by selling gently used clothing – with some veteran moms making over $1,000 twice a year selling their goods. On the shopping end, moms save even more by purchasing goods at 30-90% off retail. “It’s really a win-win situation for the sellers and the shoppers,” says Freeman. “Children go through clothing and toys so quickly that it’s a shame to not recycle these items and make a little money.”

For information on the $100 Target Gift Card, please visit ConsignmentMommies.com. The contest ends Friday, July 2 at 9 am EST.

ConsignmentMommies.com is the “baby” of mother-daughter team Chrissy Freeman and Shari Kilgariff. The two created the site in late 2009 to help busy moms find, rate and compare the consignment sales and stores. The site offers state listings, a unique zip code map search and articles and advice from consignment veterans and pros.
