Yard Sale Advertising

I am planning to host a yard sale in a few weeks (Friday and Saturday Columbus Day Weekend).

I will post signs at the bottom of my driveway and at either end of the main road.

I will also advertise in the Hackettstown Life Classifieds.

What other advertising options would you suggest to get the word out?

Thanks!

I recently found this site that lists garage sales: www.gsalr.com - Good Luck with your sale!

I always advertise on WRNJ Swap n Shop when I have a sale or participate in one. They have a website and will also announce it on the radio station the weekend it is being held..

There are tons of small web sites but they never do anything. Locally put it on HL, craigslist (North NJ section), and WRNJ. HL is only one picture, but Craigslist lets you put in a dozen or so. So take lots of pictures and post. That really brings people out.

We're most likely doing an impromptu mini-neighborhood sale with 3-4 houses, not sure if it's Columbus Day weekend or next weekend. But those are the places I use and have been successful at getting people. Don't forget signs in town.


facebook has sites you can post

The many local Facebook yard sale sites are EXTREMELY popular these days. DO NOT over look this area of social media to promote your upcoming yardsale! There are a few select local yardsale Facebook sites out there with close to 20,000 members!!

Yes, they do, Christine. They were only posting the sales on their WRNJ website for a while but now( probably by popular demand).. every Saturday and even on Sunday (usually with Jay Edwards)..they announce everything listed on Swap n Shop including any yard or garage sales.

Here are three more sites on facebook that allow you to advertise your yard sale.

If you search on facebook there are other sites for other counties and nearby towns...you just have to search....
