You’re driving through your neighborhood heading out to get groceries. It’s a Saturday. You’re a bit irritated. Your crockpot went kaput the night before. And you were planning on making a chicken and rice meal for the family tonight. And then you see it. You hadn’t put much stock into one of them before. But now, at this moment, you are enticed. You are being drawn in by a magnetic force. Maybe…just maybe, you will find your next crockpot for $10 at this house that has displayed a yard sale sign on its lawn.
Was that a bit over the top? Perhaps. But the point was to get you to understand the effect a custom sign can have on events like yard sales, birthdays, and more.
The Birthday Yard Sign:
A birthday party is a special ceremony that celebrates the day someone had entered this world. We recognize and affirm the importance of when someone was born. We do it every year for our family and friends. Plenty of hoopla lets the birthday boy or girl know how much they mean to us. There’s cake, presents, activities, and smiles. Before those things take place, the birthday yard sign sits there glowing with pride.
A birthday sign is for anyone at any age. No one can resist the joy of this “yard card,” whether they are turning 10, 30, or 100. It is a classy, yet staunch reminder to the partygoers that this day does not belong to them. This day is a coronation for who they came to see. A custom yard sign sitting on the lawn, with special words of meaning, sets the stage for the rest of the awesome day to come.
Material, Print Method, and Size Availability-
We make our happy birthday yard signs out of corrugated plastic. It’s a thin material; lightweight but strong at the same time.
The term corrugated means that the signs have flutes, or channels, with which wire stakes are inserted to plant in the ground. Bonus—there’s no hardware needed to put stakes into the flutes. They are extremely affordable, sturdy, and weather-resistant as well. These are some of the primary features that customers choose this type of plastic sign as the way to go for a birthday party.
As for printing signs, we print digitally. It’s a quicker method than screen printing, and costs less for smaller orders. What you get is a photo-realistic image, that exude bold and bright colors.
Sizes range for these types of yard signs, with the most common being an 18”H x 24”W version. We can go as big as 48”x96.” Additionally, we can also make what’s known as a shape-cut, which is exactly what it sounds like. We will produce your desired custom yard sign in a non-traditional method on request. A shape-cut is not like typical square or rectangular signs. A shape-cut sign will command more attention of guests and the neighborhood because of its distinctive appearance.
The Graduation Yard Sign:
Much like a birthday, graduation is an event so worthy of celebration. Graduation yard signs are an absolutely ideal way to relive fond memories. All the studying, all the test-taking, and all that goes into buckling down to cross the finish line. For parents, every graduation their child celebrates marks a special and significant steppingstone in their academic world.
You can let your whole neighborhood know that your kid just graduated from elementary school, middle school, or high school with a bold yard sign of pride. It’s also a great way to let your graduate know that you are displaying their achievement for people to see right away when guests come for the party. Brilliant color and proud text on a sign will have your child beaming. They’ll know you have thought more about their success than a simple card and cake. They’ll know you cared to go the extra mile to acknowledge how hard they worked. Celebratory signage is special. You can do some extra things with it that you can’t do in a card. You get to have the graduate’s name on it. You can have their picture on the yard sign. If you really want to do it up a touch more, perhaps enhance the custom sign with their favorite inspirational quote. And unlike birthdays that come every year, graduation is not an annual occurrence. It’s something that has been earned over time. Let your student know how much it really means.
