Any other tips?

Answer 1

you should put it in the paper the day before and morning of. it's usually very cheap to do. also, put up flyers on telephone poles near your home.

Answer 2

Stick to local guidelines.  Many suburban communities will restrict your use of signs in certain areas.  Best is to advertise in the paper a day in advance of your sale.  Then post big, easy to read signs with big letters the morning of your sale at major nearby intersections and in your neighborhood.

In spite of the name, don't place items in your garage.  People feel intrusive and won't stay as long.  Use tables and hanging racks in your driveway and yard.  Hang clothes if you can and keep all items easily accessible.  People don't like sorting through boxes and don't want to crouch on their knees.  Have everything clearly marked with price.  If it's a hot day offer cups of lemonade.  People like feeling treated and will stay longer and obligated to "repay" you for your kindness.

Answer 3

put it in the paper for like 2 days so the word gets out. and i would put a flyer on many on telephone poles around a couple streets.
