Ok John, Has Matt read this yet?
I mean if your going to sell food and drinks. You might just want to set up vending machines or have a pic-nic. You guys tought me to give things in promotion of products.Not charge for it. Isn\’t this the bait so they bite? Wouldn\’t they feel more obligated to buy something if there eating and drinking your free coffee & donuts. And I think Jill might want to Jack about the pricing. I haven\’t met anybody going to garage sales willing to pay 10% below cost. You can get that kind of discount in most stores just by asking and telling them you were refered by someone. Besides who wants customers spilling food and drinks on there products while there browsing through the envintory. Ok maybe a bad analege.

This reminds me of the article about what a stripper can teach you about marketing. Great stuff, thanks.

Hi,

That’s a nice series of tips. I especially
like the idea of selling food and drinks.
It helps to create a festive-type atmosphere.

Best regards,
Laurie

Don’t forget the free box! The kids love it;) also, there is a rule about pricing – that most things should be around 10 percent of their original price. This obviously does not apply to vintage items or things that really are brand new.
