Also, make sure that you post the signs on every high traffic corner within a two mile radius of your sale. This will attract significant amounts of garage sale hunters. Whenever possible, try to consolidate garage sales throughout your neighbourhood. Try to organize a street wide garage sale if possible. This way, your advertising costs and efforts will be minimized.
Organization is very important to a garage sale hunter.
Nothing will turn people away from your sale more than an unorganized event. Try and keep the area clean. Also, consider the way people will be walking through the area. Be sure to leave them enough room to view all the items for sale. And ensure items like books, clothes and toys receive maximum exposure and are displayed so people can see what you have to offer.
