It’s that time of year again; spring is all about fresh starts, and that includes cleaning out the old and bringing in the new for your home! There’s no better way to get rid of your stuff than hosting a yard sale, so here are a few tips for hosting a yard sale.
Sure, people are here to look through your stuff, but they probably don’t want to search too hard. Put all your clothes in one place, your books together, and your furniture stacked neatly so that people have easy access and are more likely to buy it!
You may love your cat, but no one wants cat hair (or worse) all over the clothes they’re purchasing.
I know I hate being the one to awkwardly ask, and so will anyone at your yard sale. Clearly marked is better!
It doesn’t matter how nice the weather is if half the town is going to the big football game! Follow these tips for hosting a yard sale and yours won’t fail!
The more variety you have, the better your yard sale will be!
People will buy more if they don’t have to walk away with an armload and no easy carry option!
Place an ad in the newspaper – quick, descriptive, and to the point. No one will come if they don’t know about it!
Use basic sales tricks like the .99 phenomenon, or the 4 for $6 option. If people think they’re saving money, they’ll buy more! (and you’ll get rid of more!)
An apron is a good way to accomplish this. No, it doesn’t have to be a kitchen apron. Think a server’s apron! This way you can keep your money on you and you look authoritative!
Make a trip to the bank so that you have plenty of coins and bills to break amounts as small as $5 to as big as $100!
