Spring cleaning finished and you still aren’t happy with the results?
Maybe it’s time to do something about that clutter you just dusted off, reorganized and shuffled from one end of the house to the garage. Having a garage or yard sale is a great opportunity to get rid of your functional junk, clothes that don’t fit anymore, and those old record albums collecting dust in your garage. Here are some tips on how you can unload some of your unwanted stuff and put some cash into your pocket.
1. Join forces with friends and neighbors
Make it a neighborhood event by inviting your neighbors, family and friends to participate in a Waterfront Community Super Sale. Multi-family sales tend to bring a lot more foot traffic. Once you’ve agreed on a date for the sale and obtained the thumbs up (or a permit) from the powers that be, it’s time to get the word out about your event with eye-catching signs on brightly colored posters. With multiple households hosting a yard sale together, you can share the advertising costs and the signage workload.
2. Make sure your best deals get noticed
Be sure the prices on your items are clearly visible on removable pricing labels. If your unbelievable prices don’t catch the customers’ eyes, brightly colored labels will. Make sure the labels are easily removable so you can easily change the price (watch for label swappers!) or remove it completely when the item is sold.
