Your graduate has thrown their cap in the air at the end of the ceremony. They feel pride and relief, and there are smiles. On the way home, they figure there will be a cake and a greeting card. You turn around the corner to your street. The grad looks out at the neighborhood reflectively. Then their gaze locks in toward your house as you approach. Their eyes go wide. They see it. You have surprised them with a graduation yard cards display. That smile from earlier increases dramatically. Excitement fills the vehicle. Your grad gets it that you understand what a huge deal it is to complete a level of education.
Yard Cards and Our Advantages:
When you go to most every other company out there for your graduation yard greeting, this is what happens. The salesperson will tell you that they rent these yard cards. For a single day only. The price for this rental can be $90 or more. If you ask them if you can hold onto the yard card for the upcoming weekend party, you’ll learn that you will get charged extra. How much extra? It can range from $25 to $40 or more per day.
How do we, at Good Guys Signs, differ from that? Our price for a custom graduation yard card is just $69. The sign is made of corrugated plastic, also known as Coroplast™. It comes with the letters CONGRATS GRAD, a 2021 sign, and a graduation cap. All pieces rest on strong titanium steel wire stakes.
Everything comes in a handy carrying case that has set-up instructions inside.
We haven’t told you the best part and the big differentiator between us and others in the yard card business. With us, you own your yard card. It’s yours to keep. You can leave it up for three days or three weeks, however long you want.
In addition, we provide free ground shipping. And that is same-day shipping if you order by 4pm ET. There really is no comparison. This is apples to oranges with us versus other sign shops.
Customization:
We can totally add some extras to the yard greeting. It’s a big day and a big deal to you and your child. Maybe you want to add a message like, “YOU DID IT” or, “GREAT JOB,” or the grad’s name. We can make corrugated plastic boards of a diploma, balloons, stars, or anything you want to add to the yard card. Give us a call at (800) 614-8040 to add on to the standard yard card we offer, and we’ll get you taken care of.
Extra Benefit to the Greeting:
One of the extra side benefits for your graduate… with you owning your yard card, neighbors will see it. Guess what they might do? Three days later, you get a knock on the door. At the very least, they’ll extend congratulations. They might even extend their hand out with graduation money or a gift.
Other Occasions:
We’re focusing on graduation in this article, but we want to let you know that we can customize yard cards for any special occasion. Among them are:
- A birthday
- A baby shower
- An anniversary
- Grand openings
Check out what we started doing in the spring of 2020, right after the coronavirus pandemic took hold of the nation:
Materials and Weather:
We mentioned that the letters are made of 4 mm thick (about 1/6th of an inch) corrugated plastic. Even for these short-term graduation yard card signs, know that they are very durable. They have a shelf life of 2 years or more outdoors and indoors if taken care of properly. They are not susceptible to water, so there’s no danger with precipitation. Coro can also handle the heat well. If weather of any kind is or becomes extreme, we recommend you bring the letters inside.
Printed digitally with high-quality UV inks, we deliver you a print that will last.
Ordering:
Ordering your graduate’s fun and inspiring yard card is easy. Head to our website and click on the yard signs dropdown arrow. You’ll see Yard Letters below, and Congrats Grad Yard Letters is the first one in that category. Click that, and you’re already nearly done. Hit the blue Add to Cart button and checkout. It’s as simple as that.
Remember that you have the option to customize and personalize your yard card. If that’s what you want to do, go to that aforementioned drop-down arrow, and you’ll see Personalized Congrats, Grad. Go there to find a box on the right side that reads, “Name/Message.” To make you aware, the cost goes up with each added character. The new total will show up when you hit the blue Update Price box.
You can always call our talented, knowledgeable, professional sales team to do some of those extra pieces of flair we told you about earlier. Our number is (800) 614-8040, and we’re ready to help make your grad have an extra special day.
In Closing:
This is a day of celebration for that special graduate who is now filled with a sense of accomplishment for their scholastic achievement. A CONGRATS GRAD yard card will mean so much more than that standard old card in an envelope. To reiterate, with us, you own the letters. With us, this is not a yard card rental. We’re not like the rest in that they charge you more, then swipe the letters the very next day. That’s not how we operate. The following is part of our mission statement that you can find on our website:
“The business was built upon the principle of “Give More than you Take.” Philosophically, the only way a person can know that the world is truly a better place because of their life is if they truly follow the principle, ‘Give More than you Take.’ We feel the world needs more givers, and we have placed this belief into action.”
We can’t wait to help you make the most for your guest of honor, your amazing, remarkable graduate.
