Do Lawn Signs Increase Yard Sale Revenue?
Statistics show a well-placed yard sale sign will increase traffic to a sale by up to 50%. So, to maximize earnings, lawn signs are a must.
Of course, they need to be placed strategically. The best places to put garage sale signs are:
- On busy streets and intersections
- Near other yard sale signs (to piggyback on foot traffic)
- In front of the house or the community clubhouse (if applicable)
- At the entrance to a neighborhood
What to Put on Garage and Yard Sale Signs?
- Address – it’s imperative to include the address. This will help people find the sale, even if they are unfamiliar with the area.
- Date and time - people need to know when the sale is happening.
- What’s for sale - a brief description of what will be for sale to help attract potential buyers.
- Directional arrows - if the sale is not easily visible from the street, use arrows to point the way.
- Multi-family sale – if more than one family is participating, be sure to mention it. This will let people know to expect a bigger selection of items.
- Donations welcome – let potential shoppers know donations are accepted for a worthy cause. This could increase foot traffic.
- No early birds – don’t want people showing up before the sale starts, be sure to include this on the signs.
- Estate sale – This should be prominently displayed if holding an estate sale. People will know to expect higher-priced items.
Styles of Lawn Signs
Corrugated plastic is the most popular type of garage sale sign. They consist of graphics printed on a corrugated plastic sheet and then cut to shape. The sheet is affixed to plastic or metal stakes to place in the ground. They’re lightweight, durable, and easy to carry.
Aluminum signs are another popular option. They are like corrugated plastic but have a metal frame. They’re a bit more expensive but also more durable and look more professional. These are ideal if multiple sales throughout the year are a possibility.
Both these styles are made with or without frames for added durability and are single or double-sided.
