Your question has two separate topics: how to use your own garage sales to grow your SFI or TripleClicks business; and how to use other’s garage sales to help your SFI/TC business grow.
If you’re planning to hold your own online garage sales, there are many preparations to be done.
Take photos of unwanted stuff at your home, like clothes, books, toys, electronics, etc. and list them at Members Listing costing you 1TCredit each.
List the price, brief description, and how your products will be delivered – such as pick-up if you’re listing them locally.
Then you will need to advertise your on-line garage sales thru the various social networking media.
Any sales will be yours which you can then invest in your SFI/TC business such as paying for your standing order, buying a share in S-Builder Co-op or from ECA, buy TCredits that you can use for bidding, playing EZ games, etc. which can only help your SFI business to grow. Every little bit helps!
If you’re planning to hold an offline garage sales at your backyard, it will also involve planning and organization.
Go from room to room to collect all unused or unwanted stuff you’ve been hoarding for many years.
Place them on labeled boxes and arrange them on trestle table a day before your scheduled garage sales.
You can distribute typewritten invitations to your garage sales and drop them at your neighbours' mailboxes , especially in streets where there are flats or apartments whose residents will be interested in checking what you have for sales.
Have a bunch of Gift Cards to give away with sales over $10. I suggest putting 1 Gift Card with instructions on how to redeem then in an envelope to hand out as a thank you to those who purchased more than $10 of your goods. Place brochures and X-Cards, Wave3 cards, and other marketing aids, to attract attention.
As well as Gift Cards, some giveaways may be a tea-towel for purchases of more than $2, or buy 3 take 1. Place a dish of lollies for your customers to help themselves while browsing.
If you’re using other’s garage sales to grow your SFI or TripleClicks business, I presume you’re referring to garage sales being held in other people’s backyard.
When you visit other people’s garage sales, speak to the owner if you can use the occasion to help the sales a success by giving a bunch of Gift Cards to hand out as giveaway gifts to customers. Give the owner a Gift Card as a thank-you. Ensure you have a short instruction on redeeming with each gift card. Make sure you also buy some stuff to help with sales.
All the best!
