AP9 AtHomeRewards Presents Rules for a Successful Garage Sale
Norwalk, CT (PRWeb) February 10, 2007 -- "My closet is full of things I never wear." Does this phrase sound familiar? Well, it is certainly not uncommon to find household closets crammed full of clothing and accessories that have not been worn in ages. This is why AP9 AtHomeRewards, a leading membership discount program offered by Adaptive Marketing LLC, recommends having a garage sale to clear out cluttered closets while putting some extra cash back into the wallet.
There are certain rules that need to be kept in mind when planning a garage sale. Remember that a garage sale can be financially satisfying, but it's also a lot of work. AP9 At Home Rewards first recommends committing to a day and time. Second, create a list of items to be sold and a list of people willing to help out the day of the sale. Third, it is very important to have plenty of change on hand since most people will pay cash for their finds.
In addition to the above, AP9 AtHomeRewards suggests some other important tips for a successful garage sale:
Advertisements. Letting people know about the garage sale is the most important rule for its success. Some ideas are to promote the garage sale through a local newspaper one to two days before the sale, tell friends and advertise by listing a few key items that will draw attention to potential garage sale goers. The key is to be specific, concise and honest. State the place, date, and hours, and if there is a large amount of clothing, specify some of the sizes.
Post signs. Signs come in handy, especially if the seller lives in the back of a large neighborhood. It is critical to the sale's success to ensure there are plenty of signs so people can find the location. Place signs along the way to guide buyers directly to the sale. Remember to make sure the directions are easy to follow.
Pricing. Garage sale items should be priced as inexpensively as possible. Don't expect to receive more than 10% of what you originally paid. Remember that the sentimental value one places on something has nothing to do with the actual value a potential buyer may see. Make sure all your items are marked properly and the prices are easy to read. We can save a lot of time answering questions if we show a price on all merchandise. People are looking for bargains, so don't disappoint them. Remember that what you sell is something you don't want, so whatever you get is more than what you could've gotten if you tossed it.
Join efforts for effectiveness. If there are not many items to sell, it's a good idea to ask neighbors and friends if they have things they would like to contribute. The more there is to sell - the more successful the sale will be. If people stop by and only see a few, small items, they will be more likely to keep going than if they see a garage sale full of a variety of items.
Offer water, pop, lemonade and baked goods. Another way to make some extra money is to sell refreshments. Shoppers will be weary and refreshments will enhance your sale in their eyes and probably make them stay longer. A refreshment stand run by children will win the hearts of most shoppers.
One last note: The best days for a garage sale are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. These are the days when most people go out looking for inexpensive or unique items, concludes AP9 AtHomeRewards.
