Start with your own Facebook page, but also be sure to post in local FB garage sale groups, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist. Pro Tip: Make sure you're advertising the right thing! Sales aren't one-size-fits-all, and it's important to know what differentiates a moving sale vs. garage sale vs.
Start posting online ads and hanging flyers, and a few days before the sale, tell everyone you know about it in person and on your social media. Call it something catchy but simple, such as "Shannon's Huge Sale!" or "Friends' Ultimate Group Sale!" so your sale stands out.
Avoid adding any personal information in the posting, including your name, real phone number or real email address. Always use the generated email address on your Craigslist posts.
Craigslist is generally designed to target local areas, so this enables you to place your post while most people are actively online. Ideally, publish your post in the morning or during early afternoon hours. Additionally, place the ad on the weekend to increase the ad's overall exposure.
Advertise your estate sale on one of the major estate sale advertising websites, like EstateSales.org to get seen by millions of visitors in a short time. EstateSales.org offers unlimited, big-sized photos because it's a fact more people attend an estate sales when they have seen photos of items beforehand.
That's why promoting the event in your neighborhood is the best shot you have. Post your garage sale flyers around the neighborhood a few days before the yard sale. Make sure to place them in high-traffic areas like marts, parks, office elevators, and churches so people will see them.
Aim for contrast with text that sharply stands out against the background, such as black on white or hot pink. When making your own yard sale signs, use a dark, broad-tip marker, and make sure the letters are fully colored in with no fading.
