Would you put your business card out at a garage sale?

Yes, I would put my business card out at your garage sale, why not? After all, it's just something else you are "selling" at your garage sale! Someone could just be looking for what you are offering, and if it's displayed, people will either comment or not. You could pick up potential customers. I would use every means possible to display my business cards. Good luck with the garage sale tomorrow! Hope you do well after all the effort you've put into it.

i certainly would. i would put my business card out at my own garage sales as well. busniess is all about networking and i think that when an opportunity for networking presents itself, we should make full use of it.

I wish I knew what type of business you ran, but I think that in most cases it would be appropriate to put them out. Say if you were a psychic reader or something, than maybe it wouldn't be appropriate. I especially think that it would be appropriate to put your business card out if you're selling something to do with your business- Eg if you do crafts and have one of your projects for sale, that would make sense. Good luck with your garage sale!

If I was attending a garage sale and saw a business card that I thought would be of assistance to me sometime I would of course take it!!!! My only advice would be that sometimes there are some shifty characters that pass by and I would be sure that not too much information about me was available ...just for safety sake!!! but keep them close to you maybe and then you can sort of see who is taking them and you can also "talk them up"...if you see a potential client!!! Good luck...garage sales are lots of work...but can be lots of fun too!!!!!

Yes I have picked up business cards from a variety of unlikely places. What do you sell that requires a business card?

Put some out to be picked up and also give some to everyone that makes a purchase, put a poster or something up near your cards with info about your business on, have some flyers that you can give out as well.

Well, what is it that you do? Would you benefit by putting a business card out? Or, would it maybe cause you embarrassment if you ever got a call from them?

Yes, I would pick up a business card at a yard sale. I am continually scouting for anything that fits what I want to do (making legitimate money online). Being also appreciative of design, I might just pick it up for the design, as well, and would put it together with all my business cards and every time I ran across my collection of business cards I would run across it.

Good luck with your sale. I say go for it and put your cards out. Depending on what service you are offering someone might pick it up. Heck if it were something I needed I would pick it up.

Yes...I would say do it. I would take a business card if it was for something I was interested in...I don't know what your business is but I think that is a really good idea!

Well I would say that I would be carefull about puting a card out at a garage sale. Everyone that comes there now has your address, phone number and knows a little about where you live. Generally I try to be careful about stuff like that.

Hey how did the garage sale go? I didn't see if you posted how things went.

I love to promote myself and to promote other people and to net work and I cannot see anything wrong with it

Tough one. It would depend on what you are promoting on the card. If you do taxes... it is a perfect opportunity to get some new clients. Personally I wouldn't. I design flower beds & would assume that someone at a garage sale wouldn't be able to afford me or would want it to be cheap. Some people don't realize how much it costs to pay 4 guys to work. 1/3 of the costs goes to taxes & workman's comp. I will not do a cheap flower bed. I will build it in stages of months or years. But if I can't be proud to show a photo of the job then I can't do it. My 1st flower bed is the photo in my profile. The flower bed it worth about 1/4 of the house. LOL. It is my house so I can make fun of it. If they want something cheap, they can get the other company that doesn't care & just wants money to do it. Most of my clients call & say "I hired this company & I need you to fix this." LOL.

Sure why not? I would try to promote my business any way I can so yes I would do it. Good Luck I hope you drum up lots of new customers.

Hey, I sure would. You have nothing to lose. I am going to have a garage sale next month, and I sure will give my business cards out.

hey paidreader it sounds like you got it all under control for tomarrow I wsh you the best of luck and make a lot of money. and yes I would put some business cards out some people will take them. I keep mine out at my little shop that I have. Happy Yard Saleing.

I think it's a great idea to put your personal business card out at your garage sale. If it's something they're interested in, they can take one, if not, then they don't have to. It gives them the freedom to choose.

lol I personally would anyone you meet on the street can lead to any kind of extra business for you whether it be themselves or people you know!

buisness card yes, credit card... NO!
