1) Gather items for sale. Great time to clean out closets, garage, clean up clutter etc.
2) Inventory each item and price.
3) Place price label on each item.
4) Set a date and place for your sale and ADVERTISE - ad in your local paper, set out signs the day before your sale in your yard, end of street, place a sign on local bulletin boards. Always remember to take down signs.
5) Keep things attractive. Arrange items by group, hang clothes up.
6) Display some of the larger items out front to entice people to stop.
7) Be an active seller. Greet your customers.
8) Be prepared to negotiate.
9) Start out with some petty cash - dollars and change.
10) Offer last minute deals.
11) Ask friends to participate. The larger the sale, more people will attend.
I still plan on having a yard sale soon. I'll let you know how I do.
