Now since Spring is here it is a great time to plan a yard sale. It is important to remember a few key things…Plan with others in your community to have a combined yard sale. Set a date and a possible rain date as well. Encourage buyers by placing signs in visible areas to draw customers. During the yard sale set prices that are a bargain and encourage bulk purchases to allow an increase in sales. Most important, do not hover over your customers, light conversation is best. Whatever is left over you may want to donate to the local Goodwill or Thrift Store. Your profits can be added to your emergency fund or a special project you have been saving for. Spring is here and let the bargains begin!
