When you’re having a sale, there are so many things to think about. Getting rid of your possessions that are no longer needed or wanted is a big task. If you are planning to have a sale, here are some Do’s and Don’ts that might make your life a bit easier.
- Do find ways to advertise your sale; this is very important. If people don’t know about your sale, they won’t come to it.
- Don’t pile items haphazardly on display. Setting up items the right way will go a long way towards getting a sale.
- Do know what to price your items in order to be reasonable to buyers and make a profit for yourself.
- Don’t be closed off to customers. An open and friendly demeanor will make people feel welcome and encourage buying.
- Do be prepared that you will have leftover items after the sale. Be ready to haul them back into your house, to a donation site, or to the curb.
Got it? Great! But even after all of these tips, it’s still overwhelming isn’t it? When you need to have a sale, the biggest Don’t we can tell you is:
- Don’t do it alone
The biggest Do we can suggest is:
- Do hire an estate sale company
