Do we have a deal for people advertising garage sales in The Icon! In our second season of posting garage sales The Icon plans several new ways to promote your event.
Continuing our free garage sale policy, this year viewers may send one photo of an item or one photo showing several items to be sold at your garage sale. The Icon will post your photo with your garage sale ad. We hope that this increases your garage sale's attendance.
