How to Host a Successful Yard Sale

tips and tricks on getting the most out of your yard sale!
Stage your items for sale as you would stage them in your hom.
Gather similar items together for a collected look.
Have a sense of humor when staging items. Untangle jewelry and hang it.
Hang fabric items on the line so customers can see what they're buying.
Use buckets to corale awkward objects.
Make "grab bags" out of smaller items, like trinkets or kids toys. Keep it a mystery for a fun twist.
If you're selling clothing or any kind of fabric item, hang it when possible
Stage yours items for sale as you would stage your home. Gather like objects whenever possible to create a curated collection.
post magazine clippings to give your customers ideas on what to do with their purchases once they get them home.

    Signs.....signs and more signs is the key! Good size and very clear readable signs. Clean marking with date, time (8 to 2) with directions. Make sure you have plenty of signs so that people can find you easily! Make sure all your items are clearly marked...ALL items. People hate to keep asking....."HOW MUCH?" I know if not marked they would just leave the item rather than ask the price!
