Business was slow and the only way I could think to liven it up was to advertise.

The local newspaper was too expensive to advertise in more than once, and besides, what was I going to advertise that would bring the locals to my store?

There is a solution. Leveraged Advertising.

Let your common sense decide for you.
WHICH WOULD GET THE MOST LOCAL PUBLIC INTEREST?

1. You could advertise a SALE
   Or You could advertise an AUCTION.
   
2. You could advertise in the Local Newspapers
   Or you could use your own mailing or email list of customers and pass out flyers in your store.

Turn your UNWANTED INVENTORY into a magnet to attract customers THEN SELL the Inventory for CASH.

HERE IS THE DEAL:

Pick 30 Unwanted items of VALUE from your store to be Auctioned on the net.

PUT UP SIGNS IN YOUR STORE ANNOUNCING THE DATE AND TIME for the AUCTION. Showcase the Merchandise.

PASS OUT AND SEND OUT FLYERS TO ATTRACT AS MUCH ATTENTION AS YOU CAN, ELIMINATING ANY PAID ADVERTISING. Include all information about the items up for auction.

THERE, YOU HAVE AN EVENT AUCTION.
Event Auctions are LIVE, in one session, by State, City and Your Company.
