Ahhh… the seasons are changing and while for many that means crisp weather, pumpkin flavored everything and football, for parents it means that it is time to reevaluate the wardrobes of your children. Any time the temperatures change your wardrobe has to adapt. For adults that’s usually not such a big deal, but for kids it means identifying those items that have been outgrown during the offseason and replacing those items that you can’t do without. This can be a big headache, but it doesn’t have to be.
Using Stockpile fast free inventory solution to track your child’s wardrobe can be a real lifesaver. Think we’re being overly dramatic? Think back to a time when you were ready to head out the door only to discover that your child’s pants were too short, jacket wouldn’t button, shoes didn’t fit. Whatever it was that had been outgrown likely delayed your departure and probably incited some whining and possibly even a headache for you by the time you came up with a solution. Now, wouldn’t you prefer to avoid that situation in the future? We thought so.
If you enter your child’s wardrobe into Stockpile you’ll have a written (and portable) record of what your child owns and what size each item is. You may not think too much about it at the end of the season but when you get ready to transition back to those clothes next year you’ll easily be able to tell which items are likely to be too small. Now you can take a few minutes to gather these items and have your child try them on. Replacing them ahead of time can allow you to search for good deals, the right color or style and have the items on hand when you need them. Not realizing that you’re in the market for a replacement until you’re headed out the door all but guarantees you will settle for the first item that meets your needs just so you’ll have it.
With Stockpile fast free inventory solution you can also make note of the condition of items. If your child got a stain on their winter coat or tore the knee of their ski pants they may not need to be replaced right away but if you happen to find a great deal on a replacement you might want to go ahead and get it. This is where the portability of Stockpile is a real asset. You can’t carry your closet around in your pocket, but you can have a record of everything that’s in it. Stockpile is mobile compatible so you can access your records anytime, anywhere. Next time you see a deal that’s too good to pass up you can check and see if you actually need that item. We say it all the time, because it’s so very true. Even the best deal is bad if you already have a surplus of that item at home. It’s only a benefit if you can actually use the item you’re about to purchase.
Thanks to Stockpile you’ll be able to take advantage of offseason sales as well. How often have you seen last season’s stock deeply discounted but couldn’t remember whether you needed something or not? With Stockpile it’s quick and easy to check. Out shopping without the kids? Can’t remember what size they need? Pull up your records and you’ll instantly know what size their most recent item was and you can decide which size to get next. This should save you on those wrong size returns.
Stockpile Fast Free Inventory Solution Takes the Headaches Out of Hand-me-downs
If you have multiple kids you probably have hand-me-downs. These can be a headache too. Did your oldest outgrow that? Can your youngest wear it now? If there were a few years in between the uses, where did you store it? Using locations you can easily “transfer” items from one child to another. Storing something in the attic? No problem. Transfer it from Child A to the attic to Child B and you’ll always know exactly where it is when you need it.
Parents should be able to enjoy the changing of the seasons without all the headaches. Stockpile can help. Try it today and see how we can revolutionize the way that you manage your child’s wardrobe.
