Five tips for a successful yard sale
Each summer, yard sales become popular and many people come to yard to get great deals on second-hand objects. Have you ever had a yard sale? What can you do to hold a successful yard sale? Here are five tips for you.
Every yard has its own advertisement. The best as is signs. Draw some big signs with just "Yard Sale" and a large arrow(箭头) on a board in front of your yard. Pointing customers(顾客) in the right way is always better than just putting your address on the sign and hoping they know how to get there.
The more organized you are, the less busy it will be in the morning of your yard sale. You want to make sure that you have everything set up before people arrive so you can have more time for answering questions and collecting money.
This is something a lot of people don't think about when preparing for a yard sale. You don't want to turn away customers because you don't have enough change. I suggest at least $50 in change, which means mostly $1's and $5's
Running a yard sale on your own can be really stressful, especially if you have a lot of objects to sell. It's hard to run inside to go to the bathroom or try to talk to and collect money from several customers at once. Ask a friend or two if they have something they'd like to sell too and that way you'll have some help in case things get busy or you need a break to get a drink or some food.
Yard sales are fun and you can make a good amount of money. It's also a good chance for you to chat with your customers, make them feel comfortable, and enjoy yourself.

In October, job-hunting website Zhaopin.com issued a report after surveying people who work in more than 800 different jobs in major Chinese cities. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Most of the jobs pay well, with one in three workers earning more than 8,000 yuan a month. The top-paying job is veterinarian–about 29 percent of these animal doctors earn over 20,000 yuan per month. These workers' educational background is also impressive. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Most of the workers said they chose their jobs out of love and interest in the area. Many of the jobs are no longer specific to one gender. For example, the report found that one-third of child care workers are men. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Many of these jobs are in the service industry. Economic development means people have more money to spend and are in greater need of high-quality services, China News Service noted. For example, more people have started to raise pets. Pet owners will spend over 5,000 yuan per pet this year, an increase of 15 percent from 2017, Xinhua reported.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
It is believed that social networks allow people to make their online social circle larger. But having 150 friends on WeChat is not the same thing as having 150 friends in real life. In last week's Chitchat, we asked our readers how many "friends" did they have in their WeChat account(账户), and how many of them were "actual friends". Here are some of the top comments(评论). @left and right I have more than 1,000 friends in WeChat. However, the number of "friends" I communicate with daily is less than 50, most of whom are my classmates and families. So many friends are just there and we never speak any word. @Kris Wilson Choy I have almost 300 friends in my WeChat. However, people who I often send messages to is just 10. Most of these friends are classmates or people who work with me. Except work or studying, we hardly talk with each other during our spare time. @Monica To be honest, as an English teacher since 1981, I have more than 400 WeChat friends, most of whom are my students, students' parents, and workmates. Although we seldom meet face to face, our ties still remain normal. You see, they often ask me questions online, which I answer happily. Of course, sometimes I feel upset when they ask me to vote (投票) online or give likes. However, I generally do as requested, because it serves to glue our ties. |
