Garage Sale Signs
Their Proper Use
to Get More Traffic

When you decide that you will be having a garage sale, one of the first things you need to think about is garage sale signs. Since the best advertisement is nothing more than some signs around your neighborhood, it is important to make sure that you are taking advantage of this.

You really do not have to go all out and make some fancy sign for fifty dollars at an office print store. A simple sign made from your home computer, printed out on some printer paper is the perfect sign.

You will want to make sure that the sign is going to be noticed. You also want to keep in mind that if your signs will be placed where people are driving by, you want to keep the words large enough they can be read.

No one is going to be able to read the fine print going thirty miles on hour down Main Street. For the signs that you will place on the roads, leave it simple. Write "Yard Sale", the date of the sale and draw an arrow in the direction of the sale. Once there is a sign pointing down your road, your garage sale shoppers will have an easy enough time finding your sale.

Garage sale signs with more detail such as your exact address and the times you will be having the garage sale are perfect for bulletin boards at the grocery store, post office, library and anywhere else that you can think of.

These signs can usually be put up a couple of weeks in advance, but you do not want to put them up much earlier than that. As far as alongside the road , you might want to check with your town to make sure that you are allowed to put them up without a permit or some special permission. The last thing you want to do is to get yourself in trouble over some signs.

The road signs with the arrows really should not be put up until the morning of the sale or at the earliest the night before. This way, you will not have a lot of people driving up and down your street looking for the garage sale that is not operating just yet. If you have more detailed street signs that specify the exact dates of the sale, those can go up about a week before the sale.

One thing that you want to make sure to do is to remove all of your signs once your garage sale is done. When there are twenty expired garage sale signs all over the place, towns tend to get a little irritated and end up banning the future placement of such signs. Now that you know what to do, get out there and start advertising.
