tips to succeed in sales

Just because youre setting up shop in your front yard doesnt mean it cant have the vibe of a classy boutique. Play some nice background music so shoppers arent perusing in silence. If your kid is really into it, he could even open a lemonade stand and sell packaged snacks or your favorite homemade cookies to make some extra cash. Make sure to have a garbage can nearby to keep things tidy.

The main thing to remember is not to overprice. Although its nice to make money, clearing out that excess clutter should be your ultimate goal. A good rule of thumb is to sell things for one half to one third their original price. Your kid might be very attached to that old stuffed animal, but even though its super cute, its still a secondhand product to a new owner.
