<p>New Rewards Program Updates</p>

<p>Our consignors continue to absolutely knock it out of the park with sell-through rates, and that success is something we never take for granted.</p>

<p>Because so many consignors are consistently hitting that 80%+ sell-through mark, we&#39;ve reached a point where allowing unlimited inventory for everyone who qualifies simply isn&#39;t sustainable if we want to continue delivering the kind of sales results Lucky Duck is known for.</p>

<p>One thing we&#39;ve learned over the years is that more inventory does not always equal more sales. In fact, when the sales floor becomes overcrowded, sell-through rates begin to drop for everyone. Our goal has always been quality over quantity and maintaining the shopping experience that keeps customers coming back sale after sale.</p>

<p>So while the following change may feel like we&#39;re pulling back a benefit, it&#39;s actually the opposite&mdash;it&#39;s a move designed to protect the strong sell-through rates and great consignor checks that our community has come to expect from Lucky Duck.</p>

<p>80% Sell through Perks:</p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p>If you had an 80% or higher sell through rate at the previous sale&hellip;.(and this was 78% of you who consigned with us last sale!!!) You&#39;ll earn the opportunity to bring&nbsp;<strong>up to 400 items</strong>&nbsp;to the next sale instead of the standard 250-item limit.</p>
	</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Top Seller Perk:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p>Our&nbsp;<strong>Top 200 sell-through consignors</strong>&nbsp;from the previous sale will earn the opportunity to skip inspection&nbsp;for the next event. (instead of ANYONE who had an 80% sell thru)</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Qualifying consignors will be announced by&nbsp;<strong>September 1 before the drop off shifts open</strong><strong>.</strong></p>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>These changes help us keep inventory levels where they need to be so that Lucky Duck can continue to deliver the high sell-through rates that make our sale so successful for everyone involved.</p>

<p>What an incredible problem to have! And truly&mdash;thank you for giving us such a good problem to solve.</p>

<p>Thank you for being part of what makes Lucky Duck so special! Set your alarms for Wednesday, July 1 at 8pm to grab you spot to sell this Fall.&nbsp;</p>

<p>We can&#39;t wait to&nbsp;Lucky Duck ON with you this Fall!&nbsp;</p>
