"Lost your underwear privileges" - Rabbit 2021
Adding a dedicated warehouse employee. Time IS money. Be interesting to see the next set of numbers after she sorts the pallets.
Sorting everything as you go makes things much easier.
@@deeannadavis Yes! (But don't tell the competition.)
Yeah, good thinking Rabbit! Less chaos = more money!
One of the reasons for the power window switches being on the console is they don't have to provide door switches, just the master switch.
I love these videos so much. Thank you for sharing your process. I know how much time and effort it takes to upload but we all appreciate that you do and the fact that you really seem to love what you do.
As I watched you use the 'serious' forklift to get those top pallets down, I was thinking that it wasn't that long ago that you started the $1 warehouse sales just to get rid of the used items mostly from storage lockers...wow what a journey!
We use to use a series of wireless doorbells from the front of our store to the back. Push a button and it rings in the back.
That difference in potential sales is well worth the extra employee's addition to the payroll. Plus it will free up yourself and Tim to continue in your respective duties which means even more potential sales increases. And as an added bonus a reduction in stress.
You ended before we got the totals for the day and the totals for the whole sale. ☹️Because you are closing on your house on a Monday and ( your head and heart will be in getting it redone to your and Mrs Rabbit’s vision) it maybe weeks before we know the results. Also, not the outside front, but can we see before and after for inside of your new home? We don’t need furniture, but would enjoy painting, new fixtures, lighting, flooring. Congratulations on your home purchase. We truly hope to that it fulfills your hopes and dreams. 😀you have worked very hard for a long time-it is time for a reward.
Gotta turn one of those offices into a bunk room so you can take a nap during the day.
George Costanza mode!
Have you seen the chase lounge next to the camper? Or the camper? Lol
@@ResaleRabbit figured it would be more comfortable in at least a twin bed.
I'd just move in.. Rabbit paid more for one month in the half warehouse a year ago than most people pay housing rent in 4 months.. But now he has the whole warehouse and god knows what else.
Actually glad to hear you want a dedicated warehouse sale employee, I've been thinking you should do that. Figure it would be much easier if someone really had the time to sort things out by type and box it with the price range you want it out during written on the side. Not to mention someone having the time to hang clothing, help stock and clean up during the sale, etc
Love these videos! We appreciate all the hard work between the videos and running a sale
With the pallets sorted and organized, I bet refilling tables and other back end work will be easier too.
Maybe you should have a dedicated table for people to sit stuff they no longer want? That way they won't just leave it in those buckets in the back, and you could periodically take the stuff off the table and return it to its home
I bet most people would still put stuff wherever. Most people won’t even put their trash in a trash can. But who know.
He’d probably prefer the table space for more products to sell.
Your security tag remover from China is probably sitting in a container in the Suez Canal.
Too funny
No, that's stuff going to Europe. US stuff goes straight across the Pacific to California.
it not stuck watch the news you dope
It's sitting off shore at the Port of Los Angeles.
Or IN the Suez Canal.
No I work in a casino and I have customers come up to a table with no dealer and ask if this table is open. I usually tell them sure start without us.
Oh, I hear you! Worked in casinos and bars in Vegas for 16 years, mostly in management. I could write a book on stupidity. Can't make this shit up!
I worked for Jeep for a couple years. If you put the switch in the door its not just one wire it would be a wiring harness that would have to go into the door. For safety purposes plus they would have to add an easy way to disconnect the wire harness but prevent an open circuit error when the doors are off and harness disconnected. If you have to disconnect the harness every time you take the doors off it could cause problems with people breaking the plug which would cause an issue because people would say its a manufacturing problem that the plug broke. I would also think the door would be a lot heavier and more difficult for some people to disconnect and carry the door to store it.
The “Hardest Working Man on TH-cam” Thanks for taking us along for the journey!
The best youtubers on my list are guys who don't ask for anything and don't try to sell you stuff in disguise of whatever else they are doing..
Mostly my favorite youtubers are people who don't start and end videos with "HIT THE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE BUTTON" x.x
You are such an inspiration, you work so hard , I wish more ppl had your work ethic , your so committed, you so deserve all your success, please take care of yourself as well, don't burn yourself out,
Could you do a time lapse of setting up for the next sale. Just put cameras on a tripod and let it go...?
I would love that! 😁
You have a point , but I think the difference the last sale was Christmas.
Agree you need a dedicated sorter for your sales.
I just wanted to say I think your a great employer you use the word we not me I really appreciate your work ethic
I absolutely loved your rant about the lady with all the questions!! First of all, I admire your patience, and secondly your comments about after you finished talking with her was hysterical!!! ‘ who ties your shoes in the morning’...etc, etc.... classic!!
Europe doesn't drive on the 'wrong' side, UK does.
Your first Karen encounter?😍 I love your ideas about improving sales.saying them out loud and explaining helps everyone. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Your warehouse sales are addictive! Love them, keep it up....😃
Yes ! A dedicated warehouse sale person is a good idea, things would be neater and more organised. It would drastically cut down on lost/ hidden stock out the back that doesn't make it to the sales floor on the intended $ day. Not to mention it gives someone else an income. Can't wait to see how the next sale improves.
That would be my dream job organizing for the sale wish I lived closer that’s actually my dream position lol I have so many ideas just watching
I love it when he says it was hot in Green Bay the other day. He then says it was 45 degrees and shorts weather.
LOVE these long videos ! Thanks Rabbit.
Invest in more stacking totes like the Office Depot ones or the plastic chip boxes. Then sorting by price and department is easier to stack on pallets.
For casepack just organize for possible pallet sales or layering pallets for racking.
Keep buying racking to maximize all that new space.
Nice video's about the sale, just missing the end results? I think you are absolutely right about the sorting-thing. If it looks more organized, people also feel they are getting better worth for their money, and they wil find the stuf they are interested in! Curious about the video(s) for the summer-sale!! Thanks a lot!
“Who ties your shoes in the morning” - Quotes of the Boss 😂
Some of the growth is also down to greater variety, when you have a lot of space taken up with lights and bedsheets in one sale and the next you have massive variety then the transaction value grows. I think you have the mic of products nailed now, the growth will come from better display the gaylord's are took deep with a lot of items missed these would be better in smaller boxes on the racking, and maybe using a bigger space for the sale to get more people inside as the more you can sell on the higher value days means you are not selling it cheaper on following days.
You are fortunate to have Tim. I like how you wear dress clothes and your hat instead of T shirts and tennis shoes. This seems really overwhelming. I wish I could go to these sales. Such good buys! I like those teal bowls and the candles.
Resale Rabbit resells rabbits.
those Lindt chocolates average 5-7 dollars a bag depending on where you buy them. I love them, too. The darkest chocolate ones and the white chocolate ones are great too.
Maybe you already addressed- you need to cut down on the lines by upping volume . . . .
Double sales floor, double volume.
BTW, glad to see you moving up to forklift and pallet racking- it makes total sense!!!
Covid-19 restrictions more than likely on number of people allowed at 1 time
haven't seen enforced covid restrictions in 2021 yet.. still hundreds of people flooding the understaffed check out lines at lowes every single time.
I got my tag removers from a retail supply store. It takes about five seconds to get a tag off with the right tool. It's so much faster than all the jury rigging suggestions.
Organization is key. Make sure new person knows difference in costs so there will be no mix ups. You want to make money not loose it. Please don't give up Rabbit- we all have to deal with all kinds of people. Tim droppings lol. We know Tim is a great asset and a valuable employee to you.
just a magnet gets those color tags off. need to be the round one that is like it sits on a retail counter. I use the same one that takes off the red target security tags.
We had a Camaro and it was an '80s model Camaro and it had the window switches in the middle console
Organization is extremely important and the key to selling items. There's nothing worse than digging through a box/etc with too many different kinds of things that aren't even related. I think it's great to hire a person dedicated to warehouse. Men and women think differently and having a woman on board I think is a very smart move. Right now with the virus I think it's holding back on your sales since you can't have as many people inside at the same time. That really puts a damper on things.
All that rented space above and not utilized I'm just kidding, as an electrician I work on distribution centers that have forklifts automated BTW they run on a single train rail, they'll go up 10 stories to pull a pallet for you. Anyway that forklift is highly sought after and a good one. So good decision keeping it,always remember turn off or tighten the valve when done using.
Use the buzzer system like Aldi has/had. One buzz=another cashier, two buzzes= management, constant buzzing means get up here now shit going down!!! (robbery, fire, fight)
Thanks for the review. Hope you had a chance to rest up. Catch you on the next video.
Wish I lived there I’m a Pro Organizer & it would be so fun to organize it for a sale like items & pulling more expensive items to group together for more earning potential! Good help is hard to find! You live in the wrong state 😜
Texas Whoo Who!
I think the window switches on the center console..has to do with weight...keeping the doors as light as they can or flat as they can..( after all they are removable)...and to protect the switches from damage..just a guess..good question though
I like your analyzing (about 50 min in). Numbers are sooooo important : D
Yes! less mess, stuff organized and sorted like with like is soooo good for costumer flow ( extra important now when the amount of ppl in a store is limited). A neater "shop" is better for amount of sold items AND for reputation. People are talking and comparing and to have a neat store is always a good thing. A good word spread by happy costumers is a huge help : ) and it´s freeeee.
To have everything sorted provides stuff from being forgotten in the far depth of the warewouse ; ) and stuff will get out the right "dollar day", all planning and the practical work to set up for a sale gets easier and will give more money.
I think you definately will get more profit from having one more person and to put that person on the warehouse sales.
One other thing... As you know, one specific item can be a big "hit" one day in one sale and make that day soooo different in numbers from the others. If there is such an item on one of the days you compare you might want to have that special item in mind. Like the mens underwear on 1 dollar day, the weighted blankets aso... Just this One really good item (loads of it) can change a whole day : D
And... Have you concidered when in the month you´re having the sales? Regarding when people get payed? As I understand alot of people get payed every second week in the US, right? So it might be a bit different for you than for us. Here it´s paytime the 25:th every month or if the 25 is on a weekend it´s on the friday before.
What month it is could also be important. For us to have something like this, it makes a HUGE difference what week we choose and we would not choose january/early february ever. People are broke after christmas and all "yearly bills". January paychecks are going towards bills... Same thing with other activities and if people are queing outside, the weather. It´s more important how the weather is in the morning and what the forecast say than how it comes out during the day...
I appreciate the insight! For what it’s worth, it’s common in the US to get paid every 2 weeks, but it can be any schedule. Running the sale over the course of 2 weeks should cover everyone’s payday. We also do try to plan around certain months to maximize sales.
RR, I attended a warehouse sale similar to yours, years ago, and they snaked you through the warehouse in lanes with ample room to pass the person in front of you, but the line moved pretty fast. They had merchandise on both sides, in boxes and just on tables, this method may facilitate speed, in and out. You could route them all around within your pallet area as long as they are confined in the queue. Just a thought.
I appreciate you sharing your thought process.
I worked retail for years. There are a certain %age of people that no matter how much you explain to them, whether its directions, what to do, what you sell; either don't listen, don't comprehend or a just plain...MORONS !
As Ron White said :
" You can'r FIX stupid ! "
I came up with George's 1st Law of Retail :
The public is stupid until proven otherwise.
Another great video, John! I think the yellow "SOFT GRIP" items are weights to hold during exercise.👍👍
Hard work, careful planning, keeping track of your numbers & and the stairs are clear again. Keep on keeping on.
When the forklift died, I thought “I know that sound. Out of propane.” After a while of using a forklift I could tell how full the tank was by tapping it with my knuckle.
Great video... the reason the switches are on the dash is to keep them dry.. most people run the jeeps with windows open in the summer.. / well mudding & so on... on another note... have you thought about installing a LOUD buzzer...with a few doorbell type buttons in the warehouse..then you can even set a certain amount of buzzes fir each of the workers... I installed a few systems like that and they work great..because that noise travels pretty far.. just a thought... keep up the great work
See, now that makes a lot more sense!
What about a bolt cutter to snap the pins on the security tags ?
You could put it in some kind of table clamp & put the tags in it & push down & have a bin for the discards.
I think it's amazing how much stock you have and how you keep it all in order! I love watching your long videos! 🙌
Great vid, longer the better! Congrats on successful sale !
good background video as I prep a good sized Amazon shipment!
Why don't you have Mrs. Rabbit to join the team sorting things all day will equal more money and if she works for "free" it's a win win for the Rabbit family!
She has her own job. I don’t think she wants to work for free after work lol
The switch is in the middle also because it cheap. Less switch's. They did it on the pt cruiser also I think
The idea of hiring a sale manager is great. Will be interesting to see the difference next time.
If I was at the sale on bag day, I would’ve bought up that candy corn
Only the Brachs though !
And the retail sensor removers... stores use nothing but a BIG MAGNET...idk what you are expecting ordering a "professional" one
It's stuck to the desk at the register, you just put the sensor to the magnet and it releases the lock..
put in a bunch of wifi extenders (they are pretty cheap) throughout the warehouse and use that for comms. (teams, skype, ect...)
I would LOVE that job 😍
I just found your channel today and I must it's quite interesting so,.I subscribed to your channel. I know people buy like 1 pallet of stuff and sell it on Ebay or go to flea markets to sell it. Yours is on a much largers scale.
Another amazing video! ❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍
Totally agree that you should hire someone to organize for the sales. I think you will make more sales and that person can help sort out the good eBay things and maybe identify things that can be palletized and sold in bigger loads. That Home Depot stuff has to be less desirable for your customers.
I would think if the window controls and the motor for it and all, if it were in the Jeep’s door, it would probably make the door too heavy for the average strength person to lift off.
The window motor is still in the door. The only extra weight would be the switches and some wiring. Maybe 6oz
Or wireless door bell with sound speaker - different ‘tune’ to the door bell in different areas so you know who is ‘ringing’
Rabbit....A suggestion if you didn't do it already. Laminate your rules for bag day and post it outside so people can see/read it prior to entering the building while waiting outside. :-). Keep the candy----if anything is out of date.....people will use it for bear bait!
I didn’t laminate them, but I did put one on the sign outside the door
Love u Rabbit and your business ideas etc.
Makes perfect sense how traffic would drop off like that, it's human logic , (unaware of your plans and you might or might not have the same stuff out) people are asking themselves what am I doing here? when I can just come back tomorrow and buy this stuff on dollar day.
Not if they're sold out or removed on dollar day.
Too bad I'm not in your state. My organization skills are on point. I would split that area into two separate areas. One would be the pallet staging area and the other would be the sales staging area....$1 day $3 day $5 Day and $10 day it would work like clockwork. lol My OCD kicks in when watching your videos. :)
Lemme know if you want to relocate lol
Damn... That's where I left my teeth? I really need to stop drinking!
The new facebook graphics look great!
Next dollar day offer a 50 items for $45 option, get that avg transaction up.
The sale when you had covid. Numbers could be lower due to peoples income being stretched due to shutdowns and job security
More apt to be the other way around. People are taking "cheap" options. Just visit your local DG/Dollar Tree and you will see they are busy...
I think that sale was just bad because we were so understaffed while I was gone.
Rabbit, Did you get the cardboard bailer fixed? Great sale.
What about a vibrating pager system, the sort that you can carry around in your pocket.
It's called a mobile phone - has a microphone and speaker, too
That Swiffer sign was making it's way around the room!
Funny, as by coincidence, literally as we speak, they're tearing down our humongous East Town mall to build an equally humongous new Amazon DC.
Maybe get a dog training collar and then they can call you back when you stray off. It would get your attention. ;)
Alexa might work if you have some connected to speakers! I have an intercom we use at the warehouse connected to the phones.
I drive my jeep with the window open all the time, so the switches are always getting wet in the rainy weather, so being in the middle is good.
Awwwwwww you changed the thumbnail. I liked the pixelated look lol. My social security number and 16,000 dollars is on the way btw
Hey man No insult here. They want to keep the weight of the door down to ease removal. They are trying to cut as much weight as possible. The more cumbersome the removal the less attractive removable doors are as a selling point.
Have a great day , !!! You silly wabbit!!
I was thinking about your dilemma with people standing in line to get into the sale during inclement weather. Have you ever thought about the old take a number things. People would take a number and when their number flashed they presented their number and got in. This way you could wait in their car or sit under a tree. I know I have loved that as I have difficulty standing. Anyway, just a thought. Debra
Hey in England we don’t drive on the wrong side of the road.
Dang your up early, I need that same motivation
The strobe lights would work if you hire someone with a hearing disability as a temp for warehouse days. Lots of orgs looking for contracts for their clients.
In fact systems like that probably exist for the hearing impaired.
Strobe lights might also induce seizures though.
You need to soap or wax the track on the bowling game.
Went to the mall, then went to pick up the antique bowling table, then ate dinner, yada, yada, yada, then went to bed.
If you mix candy corn with salted peanuts it tastes like a payday.
Rabbit, you have a lot of square footage, could you hold the sale in a larger space and allow more people in?
Only UK drives on the wrongs side of the road. Not all Europe. Many countries in Europe besides UK
Do you use all those random rooms in the warehouse? If not. You should ask your landlord if you can knock all those walls down and have it 100% open in the back so you have more storage room. Could also expand the sale floor?
I kinda like having the patricians. It helps me stay organized. One room for processing, one room for sales, one room for storage, and one room for personal items (like the camper).
I worked 43 years in retail I know what you are saying
If you take the driver door off the jeep and leave the other doors on, if the switches were on the door, you'd no longer be able to roll down the 3+ other windows (without slumping over to the other side)
Switches in the middle mean you can still control all doors even if the one you're sitting at is removed
jeep owners are wacky bro
