When you are moving from one home to another it can be a fun adventure. The issues that come often happen when you are moving long distance. The move from one state to another can be stressful and difficult to do right. Some people think they can do the move on their own but that can spell disaster. There are lots of steps that take place to get the contents of a home packed, cleaned, loaded and moved to a new location. The move can be difficult and you have to be able to get the house packed in one load. It is not a good idea to move your house in loads since it can be costly and time consuming. That is why many people that are moving long distance choose to have a yard sale and to donate some things. A moving sale is a great way to earn some extra money and to downsize items you know that you will not need when you arrive at your new house. Laprom Movers offers helpful tips to have a successful moving sale.
Pick the Best Time & Day for a Moving Sale
One of the most important things about having a moving sale is to make sure that you know the best time to have the sale. You want to make sure that you plan to have it on days that people are out and about. This happens to be the weekends and that is why a good sale should be on Saturday and Sunday. You also want to start your sale in the morning so that people can get out and start their day with finding a great deal. Be sure that you keep an eye on the weather and if you have some time check the weekends for the best weather. You want a weekend that is not rainy or windy since these are things that keep people in their house.
Alert Local Neighborhood of Moving Sale
One mistake that people make is that they do not let enough people know that they are having a sale. You want to do what you can to schedule the event so that you can alert all the neighbors that it will be happening. If you set out signs in advance more people have the opportunity to see it and plan to attend your moving sale. You can also put up an invitation on social media for people that are in the area. Lots of people love of a moving sale knowing that they can get things that you cannot take with you but are still in great shape.
Organize Garage Sale Items
In advance you want to make sure that you are prepared to organize the items that you are selling. The items should be put in groups and priced so that people do not have to constantly ask you the cost of the items they are interested in. The more organized you are the more things you will be able to sell. It is also a great time to schedule for a charity to come and pick up what you can’t sell so that you do not have to load it back in the house.
