Attention! Yard Signs Still Rule
Posted on May 12th, 2009 in Advertising, Signs | No Comments »
Yard signs are still some of the most effective and low-priced advertising tools. These signs typically contain the words For Sale, For Rent, or even Beware of Dogs. Also called lawn signs, they become ubiquitous during election seasons. In fact, local and even national elections would not have that All-American feel had it not been for the signs bearing the names and pictures of politicians. And guess what, the signs being put up by homeowners in their front yard actually work.
Millions of homes have been sold or leased because of yard signs. And since the time they were first introduced, front lawn signs have helped countless mayors, congressmen, senators and presidents win their offices. So, isn’t it about time that you consider using signs that you can conveniently set up in your lawn or other people’s yard?
Yard signs are in the same category as car magnets, full-color banners, and other types of plastic signs. Apart from being used as ordinary notices, these signboards are a big part of the guerrilla tactics being employed by marketers. The way that this type of signs sends out the message to their target audience can bring about surprising results. But not just any lawn sign can be used to really rake in potential customers and big profits.
Believe it or not, there are rules involved if you want to make your signs really effective in your marketing. And the first rule is that your sign should be catchy enough to get the attention of the people in the neighborhood. You can’t just get a piece of cardboard or plastic and then paint the message that you want the world to know. You have to plan the words, colors and even the size of your sign.
The next rule in making yard signs is all about colors. Learn how to properly mix different colors. You do not want your signboard to look monotonous nor would you like it to appear like a kaleidoscope. It is always a good idea to use bold colors on your signs. This can help with catching the attention of your target audience.
Lastly, when it comes to signs, size does matter. But just make sure that the size that you adhere to can still be practical for the front yard. Obviously, you can’t put up a billboard-size sign on your lawn, or anyone’s yard for that matter.
