Selling Your Fixtures During A Store Closing Sale

Being
able to sell all of your store fixtures during a
Store Closing Sale is always a major concern for
small retailers.
One tool that I've found to be very effective in selling those fixtures is your local "Craigslist". You'll be amazed at the quick response that you receive and best of all the price is right - "FREE". All you have to do is sign up for a "Craigslist" account and then follow the simple instructions on how to post a classified ad.
You should post your ad in the "For Sale" category and usually under "business". If you have equipment or specialized tools, you should consider placing an ad for them under the appropriate category. If possible always include a picture of the items you are selling. It helps eliminate a lot of non-productive responses. You can run more than one ad at a time so I usually put the fixtures into logical groupings and have a picture for each.
You should up date your ad at least once a week. The ads are listed chronologically and by the end of a week, your listing is pretty far down the list of classified ads. As soon as you update your ad you move to the top of the listings again. It's important that you follow the site's rules.
For an investment of just a little of your time and a couple of digital images of the fixtures you want to sell you'll be very happy with the results.
