TL;DR Summary:

Hammoq shortens pricing time and lifts margin by ensuring every item is priced right before it ever hits the rack.

Speed matters in resale. But speed without accuracy? That’s a recipe for missed margin and markdowns.

Resale operators are often forced to choose between:

• ⏱️ Fast: Get the item to the floor ASAP using pricing charts or staff memory
  
  
• 🧠 Smart: Wait on analysts or manual data reviews to ensure accuracy
  
  

But what if you didn’t have to choose?

Hammoq makes it possible to tag faster and smarter—automatically.

It reviews your long-term sales data (30, 90, 365+ days) and generates the right price for each item before it ever reaches the sales floor.

No more:

• Guessing
  
  
• Waiting
  
  
• Missed opportunities
  

You get:

• Faster intake
  
  
• Shelf-ready inventory
  
  
• Higher average sale price (ASP)
  
  
• More margin on every rack
  

🧠 Why Most Resale Pricing Falls Short

The traditional pricing process slows revenue before an item is even sold:

• Staff receives the item
  
  
• Uses a pricing chart (e.g., “$4.99 for all tops, $6.99 for jeans”)
  
  
• Or asks a manager for help
  
  
• Or sets a price by memory from past similar items
  

The problem?

• ❌ It ignores brand value
  
  
• ❌ It ignores local store trends
  
  
• ❌ It delays tagging on busy donation days
  
  
• ❌ It underprices high-value goods and overprices slow movers
  

The result is inventory that’s either:

• 🔁 Sitting too long and getting marked down
  
  
• 💸 Selling fast but leaving margin on the table
  
  

Hammoq fixes this by automating price decisions—based on your actual sales results.

💡 How Hammoq Powers Faster, Smarter Pricing

Hammoq starts where your intake process begins:

📸 Staff takes a photo of the item
🧠 Hammoq identifies the item’s brand, category, condition, and size
📊 It references your store’s historical data (not national averages)
🏷️ Recommends a price that matches ASP and sell-through
🖨️ Instantly pushes a tag to print

That means every item hits the sales floor:

• Priced accurately
  
  
• Ready to convert
  
  
• With no waiting or re-tagging
  
  

✅ Key Takeaways:

• Eliminate lag between intake and value recognition
  High-value donations get recognized and priced instantly—not buried in bins.
  
  
• Price to move and profit
  Hammoq sets the optimal price for each item—not just “what looks right.”
  
  
• Let every item hit the rack shelf-ready and optimized
  No more delays, no more backroom pile-ups, and no more missed margins.
  
  

📉 The Hidden Cost of “Fast But Flat” Pricing

Let’s say your store prices all jackets at $9.99, regardless of brand or condition.

• A Patagonia jacket might sell fast—but could’ve sold at $19.99
  
  
• A no-name brand might sit for weeks—before being marked down to $6.99
  
  
• Meanwhile, your floor staff spends time adjusting tags and handling markdowns
  
  

If 25% of your daily intake is underpriced or overpriced by $3–$5 per item, that’s:

• 💸 $250–$500 in missed margin/day (on 100–200 items)
  
  
• 📉 $100,000+ annually in lost revenue per store
  
  

Hammoq recovers that margin automatically—while speeding up the intake cycle.
