A sidewalk sale day
Bring last season's stock outside for one well-announced day and let people browse from the street.
Steps
- Ask your city about a sidewalk-use permit and any rules for the date.
- Pick a day with good foot traffic nearby and announce it two weeks ahead.
- Price everything outside clearly and keep one person outside the whole time.
- Invite the neighbors on your block to hold theirs the same day.
What to count
Customers on sale day, against the same weekday before.
Keep it clean
Most cities require a permit for displays on the sidewalk and a clear path for people walking by.
