How To Organize Your Sale

First imagine yourself in a car that is passing by your sale. Consider how items and tables could be arranged to get your attention. With a little imagination you can have people slamming on their brakes. 

People have been known to use huge inflatables, antique cars, and even horse drawn carriages to help get the attention of potential buyers. If you have something unusual that you can use to draw customers, why not use it.  

Consider placing golf clubs, power tools, and sports equipment right at the end of your driveway. Male drivers in particular, are tempted to stop when they see these things. Maybe you can hire a stripper to… just kidding! 

Similar Stuff Together

Organizing your sale means putting similar items in the same place. Clothes should be in one area, tools another, and knick-knacks in another. A good garage sale need not be a scavenger hunt. People wish to find items that interest them quickly. 

Take advantage of tables, shelves, hanging racks and boxes. Items which are unbreakable work well in boxes; especially if they are all the same price. 

Do expect people to pick up and examine anything they see at your sale. Children will do this too, so place important breakable things in as safe a place as possible. Make sure your sale is child proof, but don’t come across as a child hater. That’s the kiss of death!
