Use Custom Yard Signs to Maximize Your Marketing

Written by Becky Zbozen | Mar 23, 2026 5:03:00 PM

Now that we are safely into spring, it’s a great time to review a few important facts about yard signs, one of the most effective and affordable ways to promote a business, event, or campaign. Because they are placed directly in the communities where your customers travel, yard signs provide repeated visibility. Outdoor signage is extremely cost-efficient, delivering thousands of impressions at significantly lower cost than many other advertising channels.

Here are five important things to know when using yard signs as part of your marketing strategy:

  1. Location matters most. A single sign placed in a high-traffic area can generate thousands of impressions daily.

  2. Keep the message simple. Drivers only have a few seconds to read the sign, so focus on one clear message.
  3. Use bold, high-contrast colors. Clear design improves readability from a distance.
  4. Include a clear call to action. A phone number, website, or QR code makes it easy for viewers to respond immediately.
  5. Outdoor signage delivers results. Nearly 48% of consumers say signage is highly effective for brand awareness, and outdoor ads have an 83% recall rate among viewers.
