Default Garage Sale Advice

I have only resided in The Villages for a few months now and was planning on doing a garage sale. I know about the restrictions (i.e. items should only be in the garage, no signs, etc.), but I've gone to visit a few garage sales the past couple weeks and was surprised at the very, very little turnout. At 8:15am there was no one buying from the garage sale that was advertised to start at 8am! I've done garage sales in Miami and between 6 and 10am it's a madhouse.

Are garage sales not popular here in The Villages? Is the summer not the right time to have a sale (I'm really in no rush)? Are there any good "marketing strategies" (besides the Daily Sun)? I would welcome any advice or suggestions.
