How to Make Yard Sale Signs

Last Updated: October 21, 2021

If you want to have a successful yard sale, you need catchy and legible flyers or signs which are easy to see from a distance. There is no point in taking the time to make signs which will not be readable, or which will not stay attached where you place it.

Steps

1
Use some bright, eye-catching poster board of a size large enough to be visible and readable from a distance and/or moving vehicle.
2
Write YARD SALE in big capital letters using a wide black marker, or craft paint.

3
Give a "When." Be sure to list the time and dates that your yard sale will be starting and ending.
4
Give a "Where." Write the address of the sale and make sure the address is readable and stands out. Larger print or bold or contrasting marker color will accomplish this.
5
Give a "What." Give no more than one or two examples, if any, of the items that you are selling. Remember, people are driving by and may not be able to read the information.
6
Install posters securely, in such a way that they will not fall over or droop. Place them on corners of busy streets (intersections), or where there's a lot of traffic near your home.

Warnings

Be a responsible seller. Take all your signs down immediately after the sale.
