Here are 3 of the best eye catching garage sale signs you can use and make yourself:
Eye Catching Garage Sale Signs #1: Red and Yellow Colors
Colors like red and yellow make the perfect yard sale signs for a number of reasons. When many people see red or yellow road signs this is a signal to slow down. So, follow suit with what already works and use this to your advantage.
You will want to check of course to see what the sign guidelines are for your city, but as long as they do not restrict color, then you should be fine. Opt for yellow signs with black writing or red signs with white writing.
Eye Catching Garage Sale Signs #2: Large Print
Another problem many people have is reading a homemade yard sale sign. It is always a good idea to create large letters that are bold and easy to read. To see if your letters are large enough and easy to read, try placing them 50 feet away from you.
Can you read the words "Yard Sale" easy and quick? If not, fix this. Next add the date and address in large bold letters that are only slightly smaller than the "Yard Sale" words.
The date should be first, then the location. Stick with a traditional font, like Roman, as well.
Eye Catching Garage Sale Signs #3: Shine
Finally, for an eye catching yard sale sign that works try adding some shine. You don't need to waste time with glitter, which is not easily seen from the road. In place, option for shiny poster board.
Whichever material you are using to make the board or sign, this should be shiny. This bit of shine, like in a road signs, will help catch the eye of passer Byers and get them to notice your yard sale sign.
Tip: Keep the letters matte and a dark color, like black. This matte look will help get our yard sale sign noticed since it will contract with the shine or sheen of the background.
Finally, for more inspiration take a look at the road sign that you notice the most, the one you can not help but look at no mater how many times you have read it. What about this sign appeals to you and look at it to see why it catches you eye.
Use this a your final inspiration to create a yard sale sign that gets noticed.

Post a CommentThere REALLY need to be pictures here if you are giving directions for VISUAL PROJECTS! Some of these sound terrific, but we'll never know or be inclined to make them if we can't see what you're talking about! Example: When we see a topic called "3 best eyecatching garage sales" - the assumption is that there will be PICTURES of the EYE catching item.
