Re: Yard Signs, Full Color And Fancy Or 2 Color Easy To Read?
I've used this place a few times. For the coroplast signs, you can't beat 'em.
https://www.signs365.com/index.php p.s. make sure to turn off the "chic", she gets a little annoying. You'll see what I mean when you get to the site.

Re: Yard Signs, Full Color And Fancy Or 2 Color Easy To Read? I just got these in the mail  Not bad at all. And WAY better than my ghetto fab ones of the past. Not too expensive neither.

Re: Yard Signs, Full Color And Fancy Or 2 Color Easy To Read?
so without sale and free shipping those would have been around 27.00/per. The way these things get thrown out by the city spending alot of money on them isn't the greatest goal around here.
I like your signs btw. I will be doing some of the full color hopefully soon. I think the simple easy to read while moving or stationary is worthy also. Like the signs I just got. BTW they look great, that pic was taken at a weird angle. |

Have you received any responses from them? Anyone told you they saw your sign?

Re: Yard Signs, Full Color And Fancy Or 2 Color Easy To Read?
I use signs consistently and they produce results. The biggest mistake i see from a lot of companies is they have the print to small or they try to put to much on the sign. Less is more! We have to remember that people are driving by the sign in a moving vehicle. Only a few seconds to get your message across. Just my 2 cents!

Re: Yard Signs, Full Color And Fancy Or 2 Color Easy To Read? YEP! It is funny, you can do a couple diff things to get a cheaper price with them. Get the shopping cart filled and leave it for a day or two.. they will send you coupons to get you to purchase what is in the cart! :dribble:

Re: Yard Signs, Full Color And Fancy Or 2 Color Easy To Read?
My signs were designed for foot traffic within neighborhoods, moms with strollers, people walking their dogs, etc....they're much too busy for a drive by, other than phone # & web addy

No
 I had the logo done here... http://thelogocompany.net/logo-design-prices.htm ... then did the layout in adobe illustrator, then uploaded the overall design into one of vistaprint's colored templates.

Re: Yard Signs, Full Color And Fancy Or 2 Color Easy To Read?
Outdoor graphics work best with a Dark Background - light color lettering.
Light colored backgrounds get lost in what they call= "background noise" The eye sees the color, picture then the the text in that order. Terry |

Re: Yard Signs, Full Color And Fancy Or 2 Color Easy To Read?
Keep it simple! I see so many signs that you can't read without standing directly in front of it. Mine are for the drive-by viewer, can't get much easier to read. I order them in pretty large quantities, and only pay about $1.25 each for a quantity over 100. 18 x 24, two sided. They get even cheaper the more you get, believe it or not.
