The key to any successful garage sale (家庭旧物出售) is to get the word out. The best means of advertising your sale is to place an ad in the local newspaper. If you have a city and neighborhood paper, make sure you advertise in both. The ad should be large enough that it stands out. It should also include information on where the sale is located with directions, the "hot" items you.re selling and the time the sale will start and end. An ad should be placed at least two days before the sale and run until the day of your event. That way people can plan their route (路线) to the sale in advance. Signs are another great way to inform your community. Post them in places where people gather, such as stores and community centers. Some businesses have a central bulletin board (布告栏), which is the best place to advertise. Other places to post are at the local college or university campus. This is especially helpful if your sale is happening in August or early September when students have returned to school and are looking for cheap finds. Post signs around your neighborhood. You should also place both ads and direction signs, especially if you.re located on a side street without a major presence. Signs will attract and direct people. Just make sure you print in bold letters and use large direction signs so people can read the information from the front seat of their car.

• 公司经理在星期一早上告诉文员小刘，星期四上午9：00到11：00召开销售员会议，要求小刘通知有关人员。小刘刚到公司不久，不太清楚公司有多少销售员，她到几个业务部门转了转，大多数人外出了，也没有遇到销售员。接下来小刘忙于其他的事情，几乎把通知的事忘了。一直到星期三下午，经理问她会议通知了没有，她才匆忙在公司的布告栏里写了如下的通知：“兹定于星期四上午在会议室召开销售员会议，会议重要，请务必出席。”星期四上午8：30左右，有2个销售员到了会议室，但会议室里没有人招呼，以为会议不开了，坐了一会就走了。9：00左右有6个销售员来了，什么资料也没带，其中两个说，他们已经约好客户在10：00见面。到了10点，只剩下4位销售员，也谈不出什么东西，会议草草结束了，经理很不高兴。公司一共有12位销售员，事后去问另外4位，他们说，根本没有看到通知。经理对小刘非常不满。请问，小刘究竟错在哪些地方？正确的做法应该是怎样的？
