Hints For Organizing The Kind Of Moving Sales New York Neighbors Will Flock To

By Carolyn Thompson


If you're going to move, you don't need to take things with you that you do not need anymore or won't have room for in the new house. The moving sales New York natives love to shop aren't hard to organize, but can be tricky to do well. If you plan ahead and market your unwanted items in the same way shops market their merchandise you won't have a problem.

The bigger the sale, and more households that participate, the better. Organizing a yard sale is time consuming. It will make the time pass quicker if you're working together with family and friends. Combining all your stuff into one huge sale, and sharing the costs of supplies and marketing, makes sense economically.

Great big sales attract more people than small ones. Don't be afraid to advertise the fact that multiple sellers are involved and hundreds of items will be available. You do have to keep the items belonging to individual sellers clearly marked so there's no confusion when you settle up.

You can't stint on your advertising. The more people who know about the sale, the more you will sell. Advertising does not have to be terribly expensive. Social media, for one, is free. You need to make more effort than just sharing the information with your friends. You might post a flyer you created with good photos of the best items and all the pertinent information. Weekly shoppers, if your community has them, are inexpensive advertising options that most people will look through.

Take a cue from stores when you're displaying your items. Shops group items that are alike together. They do it for a reason. It is a lot easier for shoppers to find the things they're looking for. Customers are more likely to buy when you make the shopping experience convenient. Shops don't throw their merchandise down on tables in piles and expect their customers to claw through them. Shops hang their clothing on racks. So should you.

Price your items to sell. People go to garage and yard sales to get bargains. They expect to find things that are priced way below their actual value. What you originally paid for something really is not the point anymore.

You should price each item separately. You might be tempted to batch things, but you'll be throwing away money if you do. Buyers do not want to keep asking the price of things and are less likely to buy if something is unmarked. Your price increments have to be simple. Rather than marking an item $1.49, round it up to $1.50.

Invite customers in with a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere. You should put your best things, or ones you think will be popular with customers, close to the street, or just at the entrance to your house so they are the first things people see. Fresh flowers placed on your tables is a great touch. If you can talk your kids and their friends into setting up lemonade or hot cocoa drink stands to make some money, your customers will stay longer and buy more.
