Here are some top tips to help you prepare for your garage sale:
Start early: Begin sorting through your items well in advance to ensure a well-organized sale day.
Price wisely: Research similar items to set reasonable prices that attract buyers. Place price tags or labels on items you plan to include in your sale before the sale date.
Organize efficiently: Display items neatly and categorize them for easy browsing, and organize clothing by size and gender.
Spruce up: Wipe down any items that may have collected dust, including your display tables, for higher appeal ad presentation.
Offer deals: Consider bundle discounts or special offers to entice shoppers.
Be alert: Place high-value items in a visible area for safekeeping and to attract potential customers to your sale. Have cash on hand in a lock box to make change for your customers, and keep your cash box closely at all times.
Collaborate: Get the family involved and have your children select items they would like to sell such as toys they haven't played with in a while, outgrown clothes or bicycles that are now too small.
Spark interest: Place a sign in your yard with a brief description of featured items in your sale like bicycles, grills or large workout equipment to attract customers.
Best of luck with your sale and we hope you make some extra cash!
