Display clothing items on clothes racks if possible. If you are selling clothing it is important to display that clothing in a way that makes it easy for buyers to find what they want. If a wardrobe or clothes rack is not available try stringing a clothesline or piece of rope between two trees on your property. Make sure that the prices of all clothing items are clearly marked as well. If you are selling all items for a set price be sure to display that information prominently.
Display books, CDs, videos and other such items in boxes or racks to make it easier for customers to browse. No one wants to look through a big pile of CDs or books. Make it easier for your customers to find what they want by displaying the items properly. If the CD racks or bookcases are for sale as well be sure they have a prominently displayed price tag.
Be sure to check with your township and your homeowner’s association before planning your yard sale. Some municipalities and associations place restrictions on the number or type of yard sales residents may have. There may also be restrictions on signage, especially the placement of signs on public streets. Determining the rules before you start will make your life a lot easier. After all the last thing you want is to have your yard sale profits eaten up by a big fat fine.
Present all merchandise in an attractive and professional manner. As you prepare for the yard sale take a step back and look at the display with a buyer’s eye. Is the merchandise displayed in an attractive manner, or are items strewn about haphazardly? Think about how people shop and arrange your displays accordingly.
