How do I advertise my local yard sale?
How do I advertise my local yard sale?
Post your garage sale details in your neighborhood’s Facebook group, or, if a group like that doesn’t exist, make a personal post and share it with your network. Maybe ask a few friends to share the post, too. You can also add a post to Nextdoor and Craigslist. These are great (and free!)
How do you attract customers to a garage sale?
If you don’t have enough to fill your yard, ask neighbors to join in; a multi-family sale will attract more people. Place an ad in the newspaper. You may not read the local paper, but many consumers still look for ads they can clip. Make your classified ad large.
How much petty cash should be on hand at a yard sale?
How much petty cash should be on hand for a yard sale? I try to get about $80 in cash. I split it up between $5, $1 and quarters. Make sure to get all you need before your sale starts, as most banks close early on Saturdays.
How can I make my yard sale look good?
Put your more interesting items closer to the street so people know you’re selling more than just T-shirts, costume jewelry and old coffee mugs. For everything else, keep it organized, clearly priced and easy to sort through. Stock your checkout area with plastic grocery bags and newspaper to wrap up fragile items.
What is the best time to have a yard sale?
The best time to host a garage sale is early spring, because shoppers are excited to break out of their winter hibernation and browse for bargains in the sun. But if your spring cleaning lasts until June, summer is the next best time to hold your garage sale.
