Three Steps to a Successful Yard Sale

Step one: Flirt!
I have flirted with every girl that has come to my yard sale, and only one of them didn't buy something (out of about 8)

Step two: Drink a little (or a lot)
I have been drinking rum and cokes all day, and think it is helping my salesmanship.

Step three: Make up (or have a real) sad story
I keep telling people that I am moving next Friday, don't have somewhere to move yet, and can't keep all this stuff (which is all true).

Follow these three easy steps and I can *guarantee a successful garage sale
(results not guaranteed)


For a research project, I want to figure out what makes people slow down for garage sales and try to implement that into a guerrilla marketing campaign.
