Not only is selling your kids clothing online a great way to recycle, it can also help bring in some extra cash to the family budget. But when is the best time to start selling clothing each season?
It’s often
difficult to think about bathing suits when the snow is still flying but with just a little planning, you can maximize your sales by selling items when they are hot! After all, the interest in a green shamrock top is far more appealing when St. Patrick’s Day is just a few weeks away rather than mid summer.
A good rule of thumb is to follow the major children’s clothing retailers. They are usually ahead of the game in terms of seasons. For example, swimwear has been making its way onto the clothing racks before the Easter bunny arrived. Right now is the perfect time to sell anything summer from shorts and tanks tops to sundresses and flip flops. Plan on listing red, white and blue Independence Day merchandise at the beginning of May.
The great thing about resale is it’s often a go to source for in season items that can’t be found in retail stores. Very often, it’s hard to find winter boots in February and swim wear in mid-August when back to school starts flooding the clothing racks. So be in tune to customer needs when thinking of selling.

We recommend going through your child’s wardrobe every couple of months (if you can muster up the time), and always at least a month or two ahead of major holidays. This gives you plenty of opportunity to determine what fits and what needs to be sold while allowing time for photographing and listing the garments for sale on LoobaLee.
