5. How?
   
   We strive to keep selling simple!
   1.  Each  group  member  that  
   will  be  lis:ng  needs  to  
   “Request  an  Invite”  in  order  to  
   create  an  account.

9. Tips and Tricks!
   •  Designate a shipping day: Don’t overwhelm yourself with filling orders as
   they arrive! Bring all the shipping materials you need to your meetings or on a
   day you plan to ship, and prepare each order on that day. Be sure to mention
   on your page when items ship, so your customers are not wandering.
   • Fill orders as a group: You don’t want to risk having a member forget to ship
   an item by having multiple people responsible for different items. Have a
   designated member in charge of shipping or prepare packages at weekly
   group meetings.
   • Sell remaining inventory at your end of semester event: We want to see
   you raise as much money as possible for your organization or charity! So, if
   you have an event at the end of the year, sell remaining items in-person, such
   as a marathon event!
