How to Print Your FREE Printable Garage Sale Signs
To print our free garage sale signs, follow these steps:
- We provide you with 4 FREE printable yard sale signs that have all the possible directions marked with arrows along with a blank editable yard sale sign template that you can fill in with your address, date & time of the yard sale (you can also import these into a program like Canva and overlay this information with bold block lettering). These are in 1 single PDF file. You can print all the signs you need keeping in mind how you will direct your customers to the location.
- You want to print your garage sale signs onto heavy cardstock so they will not wilt with moisture & humidity.
- We also recommend that you laminate your signs (which also makes them re-usable for your next yard sale). There is an inexpensive laminating machine available on Amazon. Be sure to pick up some heavy duty laminating pouches too.
How to Post Your Garage Sale Signs Around Town
Strategic placement of your signs can make a significant difference in the number of people who turn up to your sale.
- Choose high-traffic areas such as major intersections around your home, local community boards, and entrances/exits of busy parking lots (like grocery stores or big box stores).
- Use sturdy materials like wooden stakes, heavy duty staple guns or heavy duty tape to secure your signs, ensuring they don’t fall down or blow away.
- Make sure your signs are visible and readable from a distance. For best results, place them at eye level and ensure the direction to your sale is clearly marked. Remember that most people are slowly driving by in a vehicle trying to read your sign and they often can’t come to a complete stop in traffic. Use big letters and a thick permanent marker to make everything highly visible.
- Don’t forget to take down your signs once your sale is over. It’s not only courteous but also often required by local regulations.
