Yard Sales: How to Have a Successful Yard Sale!

Create convenience ~ Put your items on tables rather putting them on the ground. Customers do not really want to bend over to go through things, create comfort and easy access to your items. If you are able to, hang your clothes up to make them stand out more. Customers can get messy, be sure to keep your yard sale tidy and organized. If you have many “like” items such as Christmas Decor, make sure you group it all together.

At the end of the day, mark it down ~ If your end goal after your yard sale is to take the remainder of your items to Goodwill, consider just marking your items to half off or a certain price such as $1.00. This will be less for you to put away and take somewhere and you still make money.

Engage your customer ~ Wave to them as they slow down, say hello as soon as they step foot on your driveway and tell them your current specials. Friendliness puts the customer in a relaxing spending mode.

Have your yard sales ~ in your yard ~ do not make your customer go inside your house or in your back yard, it is slightly uninviting and may seem awkward.

**Make sure you check with your city laws and or HOA rules to ensure you will have minimal issues during your sale.
