Pemberton Heights Garage Sale Day Save The Date!
FIRST PEMBERTON GARAGE SALE DAY SCHEDULED: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28
Pemberton Heights residents are invited to participate in a neighborhood wide garage sale day. Everyone who’s been collecting miscellaneous items ought to consider putting them out for sale in their front yard or driveway on the last Saturday in September. Why have a Neighborhood Garage Sale Day? More stuff draws more traffic. A multifamily sale is better then selling alone. Plus, it can be a fun community event. Besides the old baseball mitt and gently used slow-cooker, enterprising kids can practice entrepreneurial skills with lemonade stands and bake sales. Another advantage of a neighborhood sale is that individual sellers don’t have to offer a large number of things. You can participate with just a handful of items, which might not be enough to support a whole sale by themselves. At this neighborhood garage sale day, each participant is responsible for their own selling. The plan involves co-operative advertising and promotion but not combined sales. Participants will retain all the revenue from sales of their items. The PHNA has allocated $250 to pay for signage at the entrances of the neighborhood and ads in the Austin American Statesman. Participants in the sale are encouraged to prepare their own signs as well. For more information contact: Jane Hayman, janehayman@aol.com, (415) 516 1296.
