But in getting started, stay with small classified ads simply announcing the fact that you're holding a garage sale, emphasizing that you have everything from A to Z, something interesting for everyone.
Such an announcement could be read: great garage sale! Hundreds of interesting objects. (address)
To get ideas on how to write your ad, check your newspapers for a week or two. Cut out any garage sale ads you can find. Paste them on a sheet of paper and then with a critical analysis, you canwrite a good personal ad by identifying the positive and negative aspects of the ads you have collected.
Keep in mind that the biggest and the best your sale, larger and better than you start to "ads should be.
Always remember that to increase your profits in any business, you need to increase rather than decrease your advertising.
At the bottom line, you'll find that the greatest single reason for a garage sale failing to turn a profit is the lack of promotion and advertising used to publicize it.
You should also have an old style sandwich board panel to appear in front of your home when your garage sale is open for business.
The goal is obviously to draw attention to the fact that you hold a garage sale and you are open to business.
This will pull in your neig hours, if you haven't already informed them, and attract people driving by. Sandwich panels are sometimes also placed at major road junctions not far from the site of the garage sale.
These will attract attention and show the way.
However, it controls local orders to ensure that this type of advertising is allowed.
Another "signage idea" practiced by some really sharp operators are the old "Burma Shave" type road signs.
Here you simply formulate a cute (verse or onineers), write on pieces of cardboard, vilate them on electrical polesat intervals of around 200 yards on the road to your garage sale, and you're sure to create plenty of traffic for yourself.
People have fun and attracted to people who do something a little different, unusual and creative in promoting a sale of any kind.
