With rising gas prices and the expense of raising kids, many families turn to having a garage sale as a way to earn some extra cash. It's a great way to get rid of clothing the children have outgrown, sell toys or electronics you no longer use and to de-clutter your home if you are thinking of putting it on the market.
Along with all of the benefits of having a garage sale, many people choose NOT to because of all the work it takes to pull together a successful garage sale. Many people have a busy schedule and don't have the time to do it right. Placing ads in all the area newspapers, getting up early to put out plenty of directional signs & picking them up when you are done, and getting the word out online about your garage sale. Well, that's where WE step in!! Let us do all the hard work - all you have to do is get your items ready to be sold!
Here's what happens when you sign up to be a featured garage sale in the SBC Garage Sale & Open House Tour:
1. Fill out and turn in registration form - include what kind of items you will be selling. These will be listed on the neighborhood maps that will be handed out to shoppers the morning of the sale.
2. Include $15 with your registration form. What does the $15 go towards? The costs of advertising and promotion for the sale. We do NOT make a profit from the garage sale.
3. You don't even need to get your own garage sale permit - we'll take care of that as well!
5. The morning of the garage sale we will have numerous directional signs for the garage sale leading shoppers to all of the great sales. All featured garage sales will have balloons placed on their mailbox to help identify the sales.
6. As shoppers drive into the neighborhood we will be handing out maps showing where each garage sale is located. Garage Sales will be advertised from 7 am - 2 pm.
7. Come down to our information tent at the Crutcher Crossing entrance for some donuts & morning goodies. We'd love to meet all of our neighbors!
8. If you have a home for sale in Stone Brooke Crossing, then please have your agent contact us about holding an open house from 11-2 in our Open House Tour. Take advantage of all of the traffic in our neighborhood and let home buyers get a chance to see our great homes for sale & friendly community!
