Tips to have a Successful Garage Sale
Do you know that the greatest thing about garage sale fundraisers is that they are
simple to organize. All you need is a collection of things around the house that you no
longer want—old clothes, outdated household items, toys, books, video tapes, cds etc.
Call in your near-by relatives & neighbors
Everyone has some old items lying around the house collecting dust. Just Call in your
near-by relatives & neighbors & ask if they are interested in taking part on a Garage Sale
which you are planning to organize.
Garage Sale Advertising
Best way to advertise your garage sale is in the newspapers—but that might cost some
money. So if you are not ready to shed some money, try it online. Their is a website
which I personally used a few times, www.GarageSaleCow.com - Its easy to use and all
posting are free of cost.
Marketing Idea
Be sure to publish Sale date and time / Address / Type of sale – is it a fundraiser, a group
sale, etc.
You can also List name-brands – if your items have highly desired brand names—maybe
you’re selling a Harley Davidson Bike or a Guess leather jacket—just publish that - as it
will generate some curiosity.
Presentation
When organizing your items for sale, better follow these presentation ideas:
Make sure your items are clean –
Fix up all your broken items -
Organize your items into categories ex : clothes, books, antiques etc
