Go the whole nine yards
Instead of going it alone, why not pool advertising resources with your neighbors and host a street-wide yard sale? This will, of course, take a little more organizing, especially the first time around, but if you make your street’s yard sale an annual event, it could become legendary throughout your town. The main advantage of pooling resources is that you’ll be able to take out a larger advertisement in your local newspaper, buy more advertising signs, and even do a concerted letter box drop, thereby concentrating more visitors into your neck of the woods. Things you’ll need to consider are: ensuring everyone who expresses an interest in the idea is kept in the loop - a temporary yard sale taskforce may be necessary here; ways you can minimize the impacts on neighbors who aren‘t interested in participating; appointing a single contact person the local authorities can touch base with if needs be; getting everyone’s financial contribution up front before you spend any money; giving the person who organizes the street sale this year a break the next year; to make the day as much a social day as a business day - that way the reputation of your neighborhood yard sale as a fun day out will spread; and what other pooling opportunities, other than advertising, exist - for instance, the more entrepreneurial of your neighbors may wish to get together to operate a children’s jumping castle, or a food stall. Getting together with your neighbors will not only increase your yard sale’s exposure, but will inject a good deal of community spirit into your suburb!
Sale sign fines slashed
A local council in Dallas has seen the light, and slashed fines for infringements related to garage sale signs. On Monday night, Plano City Council unanimously voted to reduce the range of garage sale sign fines by shrinking the maximum penalty from $2,000 to $500, and by moving sign regulations from the city’s zoning ordinance to its general code. A summer enforcement push to control signs in median strips and other public areas drew a flood of complaints from garage sellers who received fines topping $500. The city handed out 179 tickets in less than two months before suspending the enforcement blitz in October. Under the old regulations, which resulted from a local referendum 15 years ago, illegal temporary signs could attract a fine up to $2,000. The local garage sale committee asked the council to consider amending the ordinance to target chronic violators of sign rules, as well as those who do not remove sale signs promptly. Another resident asked Plano council not to lose sight of the original intent of the 1990 referendum, when 63 percent of voters agreed that street clutter had gotten out of hand. . The lessons for garage sale operators? 1. Make sure you know, and abide by, your local council’s sign rules - they’re generally quite reasonable; and. 2. Participate in any local debates on garage sale regulation so you can howl down draconian proposals at their first airing! .
Hop to that Christmas Garage Sale - Now
Need extra Christmas cash? Why not host a last minute garage sale?. The catch? There’s only one more shopping weekend before Christmas.
