Custom Outdoor Signage is are Ideal for Garage Sales

Here's how using quality outdoor signs saved my garage sale. So last summer I decided to have a giant yard sale. I have so much to give away! Hoping to make tons of cash, I gathered everything in my driveway and went about making signs on my computer. I spent a good two hours trying to design an outdoor sign in my word processing program. After dealing with tons of formatting issues, I finally made a decent looking sign. I printed out a bunch of copies and drove around my area, taping the paper signs to trees, street signs, bulletin boards in coffee shops and more. There were areas I'd hoped to target — like the side of the big road by my house — but there was nothing to tape my signs to.

Not surprisingly, I didn't attract all the customers I'd hoped to. A few people showed up, sure. But only three of them said it was because they saw my signs. Other people happened to drive by, were neighbors, or saw the ad I posted online. I reluctantly packed everything back up and put it in storage until next time.

I decided to try it again about two weeks ago. I dragged everything back out into the driveway, but this time I didn't make dinky paper signs on my computer. I decided to go with the professionals. I know you need to spend money to make money, so I made a rather small investment in a few professional signs.I designed my coroplast outdoor signs online for free. It was easy and only took about ten minutes. I actually had fun doing it. Not only that, but the signs shipped free right to my door! I also received a discount because I ordered more than one.

When my perfect signs arrived, they looked professional! I got in my car and went to put them along the side of the big road leading to my house. It was easy to put them in the ground and I was able to place them in super high traffic locations. I knew hundreds of people would see them every day! But would I actually get a good turn out this time around?

Yup! On the day of the sale, a LOT of people came by. I even heard someone say they thought it was a store's sale because the signage looked so professional! I sold almost everything and ended up making over $500! What a great investment! The outdoor signs were inexpensive, durable and professional looking — and they actually made me money. I'm so glad I ordered them!

I definitely recommend spending that small amount of money on professional outdoor signage for your event because you'll make it back — and more. Imagine seeing a nice, big, professional looking sign — wouldn't you be more likely to pay attention? Clearly it's a quality event they're promoting. I'm going to have a garage sale twice a year, and I'm going to order professional outdoor signs every time. I'm looking forward to making an extra grand a year!!
