Benefits of Getting Cheap Yard Signs:
Let’s get into advertising as a prime benefit to getting a yard sign. If you own a business, a yard sign is gold to advertise your company or its products. Place it in several spots. Advertising yard signs can go right outside your place of business. You can put it right on your lawn at home as a promotional piece.
Or, if your city allows, stick those wire stakes the affordable yard sign sits on at a busy intersection. Having one in that last location is probably your best option. Why? People sitting in their cars at a red light will look around. They’ll see your yard sign. They’ll have time to read it. It will prompt them. And they will come and buy yourwares.
At the outset of this article, we spoke directly to those who are about to run for office. We’re circling back to you now. When you’re a candidate, you are the product that’s being advertised. A political yard sign is one of the best methods to do so. Election signs are fantastic for your political campaign. The Wall Street Journal reports that campaign yard signs can be seen by as many as 25,000 people a day.
It’s a numbers game, plain and simple. You can either sit in office with the use of political signs or watch your opponent take your seat. Campaign signs are especially effective if you’re a candidate on the local level and you aren’t a household name. A single little plastic yard sign will yield you 6-10 votes. Because a political sign is inexpensive, it’s a great advertising tool. Just 100 signs can net you 1,000 votes.
To wrap this topic up, cheap signs can be used to advertise or promote nearly anything. You’ve undoubtedly seen business yard signs, a real estate sign, campaign signs, signs that advertise lawn service, computer repair, and on and on.
Types of Inexpensive Yard Signs:
Corrugated plastic, or coro, is the go-to material for yard signs. The combination of its low price and its outdoor longevity makes it the industry standard. It can be printed with photographs and unlimited color. For cost-effectiveness, they are digitally printed for low quantities and those containing several colors. Should you choose a 1 or 2 color design with a large quantity, they will be printed using our silk screen machines. This product is affordable, recyclable, and extremely versatile for a wide variety of opportunities.
Signs can also be produced with aluminum. This is the top choice for realtors. The likely reason behind is that with its smooth, baked-on, high-gloss finish, it has an upscale appearance to it. Like corrugated plastic, aluminum is extremely weatherproof. Aluminum signs won’t rust, so precipitation of any kind will not affect them.
Then there’s alumacore. This material is like aluminum that’s worked out at the gym for six months. Alumacore is stringent and is comprised of a white, high-density, fluted plastic core with a pair of dense aluminum sheets that are bonded to it on both sides. Although there are two strips of aluminum in this sign material, that plastic core makes it less heavy than a solid aluminum sign.
Sizes: They come in a wide variety of sizes, but we most often get orders for signage that is 18” H x 24” W. This is the most common size for political campaigns. So if you’re running for office and reading this, here’s a tip– think about employing a different size sign. It can give viewers a fresh perspective of you compared to your opponents. And here’s even another thought– put a bigger one right next to your opponent’s smaller one. It might just give off the impression that you are the bigger, more powerful, and more popular candidate. It could provide a sense that your campaign has greater strength. You know very well that every single vote matters, so any fresh tactic you use can earn you more of them.
Another common size of sign that people and companies order from us is a 12”H x 18″W one. This smaller sign is an effective rectangle-shaped one. Those who have a tighter budget and have to be nimble with their expenses usually get these. They are also great if there is limited information you need to convey. This type of yard sign is ideal if you want to canvass your local city and put large amounts of them that advertise buying junk cars, promoting little league, or lawn care service.
How to Order a Cheap Custom Yard Sign:
The first two questions we usually get asked are:
- How much will it cost?
- How soon will I get my sign?
We already went over cost, and now we have some great news about that second question. Once the design is created and you approve the proof we send you, we start printing on those corrugated plastic signs. Once that process begins, your signs will be ready for you to pick up or for us to ship to you in two business days.
Photo References: We saved this for last so it sticks. Photo references are extremely important. They live and die with pixels and dpi (dots per inch). If you’re using an image that’s one you take on your cell phone, move that image to at least a tablet or computer.
This will give you a much better idea as to the quality of the image’s resolution. A cell phone provides a picture that generally looks great. But a phone screen is too small, and the image is condensed. You won’t get a true representation by just looking at it on your cell.
Pixel count is critical to the quality of your image. Pixels per inch (PPI) refers to an image in digital form. PPI translates to DPI, which refers to an image that is in print form. Once you have the image on your computer screen, right-click your mouse, and a drop-down menu will appear. Next, click on “File Info.” You will see the pixel count both in width and height. The numbers shown can help determine at which size the resolution will be print-worthy. If you see that it’s too grainy on your computer, when it gets printed on a sign, it will absolutely not translate well at all. Understand that pixels don’t grow, and your image will become grainier the bigger surface area you need your image on.
In Closing:
Cheap yard signs are phenomenal for sending a message. Whether you run a business, are a political candidate, have a church event, and so much more. They don’t cost as much as many other marketing avenues. They earn a ton of impressions. They are durable and lasting. And they are a smart choice if you’re promoting something or simply looking to deliver information.
