Yard Sign and Banner Tips for Better Visibility
Tips for yard signs and banners people can read from the road: short wording, large text, high contrast, and planning placement, grommets and local sign rules.
Signs are read in a few seconds, often from a moving car. Keep the message simple and bold.
Say less
Aim for a short headline plus one piece of contact information, such as a phone number or website.
Go big and high-contrast
Large, bold letters in dark-on-light or light-on-dark colors are easiest to read from a distance. Avoid thin or script fonts for key information.
Plan for placement
Yard signs are usually mounted on wire stakes; banners usually hang from grommets. Think about where the sign will go and how it will be mounted before you order.
Check local rules
Many cities, counties and neighborhoods have rules on where and when signs can be posted, especially near roads and for political signs. Check before placing signs.
