 Pick the right day of the week, month

Know which days of the week, month and year are most likely to attract shoppers.

"Saturdays are best here in North Carolina. In other regions of the country, it's Thursday," says Geralin Thomas, a professional organizer and founder of Metropolitan Organizing in Cary, N.C. She's also been featured on the A&E reality show "Hoarders."
