How to Promote Your Garage Sale

Intro: The success of your garage sale largely depends on the advertising and promotions you do. Follow these steps to promote your garage sale.

Step 2: The biggest way to promote your garage sale is to put poster boards up on light poles. Put up large poster boards around your local neighborhood will grab the attention of anyone driving by.

Step 3: Put a sign outside of your house, preferably on the sidewalk. Use a latter to attach a poster board to and add a balloon or two. This will surely grab the attention of anyone just driving or walking by.

Step 4: To promote your garage sale, take an ad out in the local newspaper. Most hardcore garage sale shoppers will go through the local newspapers classifieds ad to find garage sales to go to.

Step 5: Post your garage sale online at craigslist.org. Craigslist is an online localized classifieds which is free to use.

Step 6: To promote your garage sale, tell everyone about it. Tell your friends, co-workers, and family members. Spreading the news of a garage sale by word of mouth is very powerful. If you have a big ticket item, make sure you mention that item to everyone you know. If you belong to a church, you could let the minister make an announcement to everyone and promise to give 20 percent of all profits to the church.

Tips: To promote your garage sale, you should spread word through the classifieds, flyers, poster boards, and word of mouth.

Instead of buying fancy poster boards from the store, save money by using pieces of cardboard lying around home.

Warnings: If the newspaper ad is too expensive then it is not worth it. Losing money on a garage sale is not what you want.
