That's a site for signs to advertise your company; car magnets, lawn signs etc, has nothing to do with traffic signs or anything of that nature. Sean Rejuvenate USA

I appreciated the gesture from glines, as it just so happens i was looking at getting some yard signs earlier this week. As for Stencils and traffic signs, Robert has all my business in that dept., and so the post didn't conflict with each other.

May be a great company but the prices aren't outstanding. (home page looks good but that's for very small 1 foot signs comparable signs twice the size can be had for a dollar or so more). Always shop.... there are TONS of these companies and the best deals are at the ones who sell LOTS of political signs if you buy in the "off" election season when their political business is slow. When they are busy running lots of 20,000 campaign signs they are not as anxious to "deal". Remember your sign needs nothing but your name (in medium letters) phone & web site (in the largest letters) and city in the smallest font on the sign (no address...just wasted space, the city lets them know you're local) People need to be able to get the info at 10-20 mph or have something catchy enough to make them slow down for a closer look (of course try to get them close to intersections or areas where people will be stopped & can look longer if possible).

Interesting topic. Currently I am in the process of pulling out of some yellow page advertising and downsizing ads in other books as the return on investment isnt very good at all. How do these signs work for ya'll? Do you have problems with the property owners? do you ask permission? Do they end up being litter? Do you get any calls from city officials to pick them up?

That's why you go cheap (I still recommend the "weather resistant" cardboard over colorplast) like political signs. Then just ask the property owner to please leave them for a week or two and then throw them away for you. These are generally (some towns may be different) not a problem with the city if it is a location where you are doing the work and not in the right-of-way. This is especially true if it's a state highway and never put them on phone poles or such (almost always illegal). (You can usually tell in residential where the right of way is by phone or light poles or water meters; they are within the right-of-way so if they fuss move back inside them) State laws can be a lot more picky, (and some cities) especially if you are in an area that get's a lot of "work form home & make millions" signs by the road etc. and state right-of-way is usually wider. Most law enforcement doesn't mind as long as it's short-term and you really are doing the work there (not your sign on the corner down the street from the work).
