How To Sell Clothes
First of all, only sell clothes that are clean and in excellent
condition. Anything other than that would be a sales killer.
Organize all clothes into groups by size, sex, and age. This
allows people to quickly find what they are looking for,
resulting in more sales.
TIP: Use safety pins to keep paired items
together.
TIP: Provide a full-length
mirror.
TIP: You can create a makeshift changing room by draping
blankets in one corner of your garage.
TIP: Use string tags hanging items with pertinent
information on them. People buy so much more when they can
quickly see these details.
TIP: Never sell stained or torn clothing. You don’t want to
look like Dirt- Bag-R-Us! Sell only clean and wrinkle free
clothes.
TIP: Never let your clothes become a disorganized heap on
the table.
Constantly re-fold and organize them.
TIP: Inexpensive clothes racks found in any department
store will help you sell more clothing.
Preparation of Sales Area
The term "Garage Sale" is generic for all those homeowner’s
sales whether they have a garage or not! The name generally
applies to yard sales, tent sales, tag sales, porch sales and
any other creative name used for a sale.
Wherever you have your sale, it should be orderly and clean.
This means that lawns need to be mowed, garages need to be
swept and hosed down. Does this sound like common sense? As you
attend other garage sales you will find more than a few where
this advice is ignored. Also, you will find fewer customers in
such places.
TIP: Any items in your sales area that are not for sale
should be covered with blankets or sheets or identified
with a sign saying "Not For Sale!” People get annoyed when
they try to buy things only to find out that they aren’t
available.
TIP: You should have an electric cord plugged into an
outlet so people can test electronic
items.
TIP: Lock your man-eating pit bull in the cellar!
