Last Saturday I hosted my first ever yard sale. I was up at 6:30 am to get all my wares out to the front yard in time for the early Farmer's Market customers to see it as they drove/walked by. I didn't advertise because it would have been $20 for one line for one day! Hey, I was just hoping to make $20. I made more than that though, about $90. Not too bad, but more importantly I got rid of a lot of stuff. I priced everything really low, because I did not want to have to bring everything right back in the house. I had a lot of boxes with free stuff and people seemed to enjoy that. I enjoyed it too and I'm already planning another sale for September. This one will feature a lot more art and I might advertise this one.
Nice set up, looks organized and colorful. Now that you've had one sale, people will remember that you had a good one. Did you have a "YARD SALE" sign in front? See if you can make a couple of signs that are free standing or go into the ground to place at key intersections (rather than trying to nail a sign to something). I've seen more of that around here.
