Since this was the first time we ever had an event like this, I feel that there are things that I learned and steps need to be taken to even make the next one (hoping to have another one in the Fall)! more successful.
Some Things I feel we can do for the Fall Garage Sale.
- Start the sale earlier - most traffic seemed to be between 6:30 and ten
- Having more people getting involved with the help of putting out flayers about the sale
- Having more people to get the word out about the sale with helping with advertising, helping with getting signs placed in more places, advertising the sale at their churches, groups they belong to, etc (By the way the ad that I placed in Craigslist seemed to be one that drew most of the people)
- Starting with preparation earlier then we did this time
- Have a group meeting before the actual sale to setup a action plan
If anyone has any other suggestions please feel free to leave a comment!
Also, what type of items did you feel that you sold more of or what did you seem to find people were looking for?
Any feedback would be appreciated!
I also hope some of you had time to introduce yourself to neighbors that you did nor know..
Thanks Again,
Mindy
