Finally someone is teaching people about wasting $$$. If you can't read a sign AND comprehend it in a flash - there is no point in making it. Get the call - then let them know what all you do ---- YOU are the best salesman, the sign just gets their attention.

I personally would not allow any of these signs on my sites. Your sign shoudl reflect the brand and image of your company. All of these reflect cheap! If i see these signs I exspect the man in a van not a real design build construction company. If your signs are cheap your customers exspect your bids to be cheap. Decide who you are and built that brand and image. Being exspensive is not a bad thing.

Some of these people may know what they like in yard signs, however they might want to invest in a dictionary so they get the spelling correct. Many sign I see are too hard to read at a glance. Large print, two colors at most and important contct info. KISS (keep it simple stupid)

This is why it is so important to use a sign vendor that emphasizes design and understands proper layout. Cold Fire Signs.
