Having a Yard Sale? Promote on Patch!

Use our Marietta events calendar to drive traffic to your driveway for your garage sales.

So you've cleaned out your garage, your attic, the back of your closet...but where do you put it all? Your driveway, of course. You dig out the price stickers and folding tables, and you wait for the weekend treasure hunters to flock. But, your neon poster on Atlanta Road didn't exactly do the trick. Looking for some free publicity to promote your yard sale so you can fill your pockets instead of your closets? Use Patch! Click here to post your garage sale in our Community Calendar. Let others know what you're selling, where you're selling it and when. You can even post pictures of your items with prices. Do as much or as little as you'd like, it's just that easy, and free!

How Can Nonprofits Use Patch?

Find out how nonprofit officials and volunteers can post events, photos and calls for action to be seen by Marietta Patch readers.

Many nonprofits are in the midst of community projects such as toy drives or feed the hungry events, while others are soliciting donations before the end of the 2012 tax year. If you represent or volunteer with a Marietta-based nonprofit or one that serves the Cobb area, you have many ways with which you can utilize Marietta Patch to get the word out: 1. Start a blog about your nonprofit or its campaign(s). Maybe you’re with a lesser-known nonprofit in the area, or perhaps you perform a service or hold an event that few people are aware of. Or maybe you want the public to know why they should donate to your cause before the end of the year. One way to educate the public is by posting a blog. Clicking this link will navigate you to the new …
