Garage and yard sale season is here. I wrote a little guide on advertising your garage sale for those out there looking to have one this year. There is something to be learned from the frenzy of customers deal hunting at a garage sale. Could your business benefit from similar traffic? Here are a couple of ideas to pull in some new customers this spring.

• Use garage sale like signs to promote your products. Hand written signs attract attention. The real estate investors swear by them. You might even use arrow directionals to drive traffic right to your front door.
• Use classified ads like craigslist.org, backpage.com or your local newspapers to advertise specials, closeouts and overstocks.
• Set your stuff outside. Have a sidewalk sale and set your products out front where shoppers can see them.
