There are many ways to advertise your garage sale.
And the more advertising you do, the more customer you will have and the more money you will make!
Word of mouth
Tell everyone, your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, church, daycare etc. about your sale. And have them tell their friends!
Post flyers around town (where allowed) at your local library, post office, bank, grocery store. Post them at work or at church. Put a creative attention grabbing ad in your local newspaper.
Online
Post your sale on internet sites like www.craigslist.com, and don’t forget your favorite social networking sites like www.twitter.com, www.facebook.com or www.myspace.com.
There is another site Garage Sales Tracker, where you can post your sale or search for garage sales in your area. I like the fact that each garage sale listing has a map and driving directions right on the page.
Garage Sale Signs
If you point them in the right direction…they will come! Who can resist the bright neon pink with big and bold thick black letters “Huge 5 Family Garage Sale 1 Block this way” with big and firm (not deflated) neon green balloons?
Make sure your signs look the same, use the same colors and wording on each sign. Post your signs at all high traffic intersections surrounding your home, check with your city/town’s policies regarding signage.
Here are a few free printable templates for your to use to advertise your sale:
