Create your own sales flyer
Flyers are a simple and effective way to advertise locally. Create flyers to sell a used household item, advertise a garage sale, a bake sale, a business or neighborhood event. You can hand them out, hang them up in your area, display them in your car window or get permission to place them in shops. Microsoft Word has all the tools you need to make a descriptive and eye-catching flyer; you can even add photos of the item you're selling or decorate your event flyer with clip art.
