1
Decide a date
It is of utmost importance that you decide a date for your garage sale. You should choose it wisely and according to your suitability. Remember that, the most important thing in ensuring the success of garage sale is the number of items and the date. Therefore, you should try not to choose a working day and display as many things as possible. Note that displaying a lot of things does not mean that you should add the stuff that you might need later on. -
2
Talk to other people interested in garage sale
If the stuff you are trying to get rid of is not much, then you must find other people who are interested in doing a combined garage sale. You should talk to them about the possibility of displaying things under one roof as this would provide variety to customers and will aid you in attracting more customers. -
3
Give ad in a newspaper
Arranging a garage sale without notifying the people would do no good to you. You should contact a local newspaper and have your garage sale ad published to attract more people. Similarly, publishing ad just a day or two before the date would also provide little benefit to you. It is necessary that you give ad in a newspaper at least one week before the desired date. -
4
Make arrangements
You should make reasonable arrangements for the guest on the date of garage sale. Do not forget to place tables and chairs for them. -
5
Price
You should set reasonable prices for your products. Remember that garage sales are meant to be cheap and very cost effective. Do not demand more than half price of the purchased products otherwise the potential buyers will be least interested. -

Environment
You must consider playing some background music to entertain your customers and provide them a good experience.
