Yard signs go by several names, including H-frame signs, real estate signs, and lawn signs. Whatever you call them, yard signs offer exceptional value. You can install hundreds across the community without breaking the bank. It’s why everyone from businesses to campaigners invest in yard signs.

If you’re looking for the most impactful, customized local advertising, there’s little that can beat yard signs. That’s why you’ll see real estate signs everywhere because they are relatively inexpensive, easy to install and garner a lot of attention.  The signs you see during election season are yard signs. For maximum effectiveness, keep your design clean and make sure the text is concise. Don’t forget to add a compelling call-to-action and contact info!

Yard signs come in a variety of materials, including coroplast, wood, and plastic. Which material is “best” for you depends on how you plan on using your signs. Coroplast is the most common and popular option if you only expect your sign to be up for a short period of time.  Wood is a long-lasting material that you can leave for a year or so. Connect with us to find the material that offers maximum value to you.

Yard signs are water-resistant, meaning they can be left out in the rain without the worry of damage. However, prolonged exposure to water and the Florida sun will cause premature wear and tear to the coroplast. Wooden signs are far more durable and can be left out in the open for about a year before they start to deteriorate.

Lawn signs–the kind you see with real estate listings, campaign slogans, and your utility company’s logo—have two parts: the sign face and the legs. The sign face is made of coroplast (short for corrugated plastic), which offers the perfect canvas for printing or applying vinyl. The supporting legs can be made of low tensile steel or plastic and are called “step stakes” due to the step in the wire frame.

You can expect most yard signs to last 4-6 weeks. If you need a more durable sign, you can customize your sign with different materials. Long spells of rain and temperature extremes can wear out signs prematurely; prolonged exposure to sunshine will cause fading.

Yard signs are one of the most impactful forms of local marketing. They are used for:
