Yard Signs | Custom Signs

Small businesses like real estate, home based business, florists and other such small product and service outlets have low budgets and a need to create a niche in their market in order to survive. They have a need for advertising but are limited in their needs due to the speciality of their field and the industry itself. That is why at times the mode of marketing in the small business arena becomes so complicated.

The advertising and marketing materials used by small business and mid-sized businesses have to be very carefully thought out as expenses have to be kept low. Getting value for money is essential. Yard signs are seen as one of the most advantageous of marketing materials. These signs are displayed at the office site in an outdoor place and made to be as attractive as possible. The signs have to be simple and yet, eye catching in their use of colors, fonts and logo design. Most marketers suggest that when ordering a yard sign business persons should opt for the full color signs, solvent printed. The reason for this is simple. A full color sign will be more eye catching and the solvent printed signs will be cost effective.

Advantages of Yard Signs: Yard signs can be customized as needed and are easy to set up. They are light weight and can be installed anywhere with minimal requirements. They are great for announcing special events, opening of a new business, signage at street corners, open house announcements and just a sign stating the business service or product.
Custom yard signs are usually placed outside and contain minimal information. Logos may be displayed on the signs but should be font based rather than very detailed and complex in design.

Solvent Printed Signs: The latest in media specialties is the solvent media. The ink and media industry usually work together with the ink industry aiming for developments that would help the media industry. The ink industry is creating an eco-solvent version of the traditional ink that is more mild and 'eco-friendly'. The advantage to the media lies in its attractive outcome and the fact there is no smell allowing the sign to go up almost immediately-no ventilation required.

The eco-solvent ink is especially for the corporate printers and pay per printers using inkjet technology. This
offers a more affordable solution for users who cannot get full-solvent ink printers. The solvent prints on various coated surfaces and uncoated surfaces as well and has proven more durable in outdoor locations.
Solvent ink is more durable and adheres well to vinyl. The chemical composition is such that the solvent part dissolves in the vinyl allowing the color particles to adhere strongly to the material and creating an outdoor durable material that retains its color longer. Initially the solvent specialty media has to work with the simple aqueous media that performs well with solvent ink, however, the prices were high and the results of the color dull. The solvent printed sign will be less in price and better in graphic results. This specialty solvent media will revolutionize the quality of yard signs once used by all printers while the older aqueous signs will be deployed to backlit displays and photorealistic signage.

Why use Full Color Design
Full color yard sign designs may cost a little more but they allow the creation of bold and eye catching combinations that are sure to attract the passerby. Yard signs have little time to capture and retain the attention of someone passing by and have to be two sided in dimension and the more colorful the combination and the more unusual the more chances there are of retaining the attention of people.

Use of Yard Signs
Yard signs as mentioned above are usually used for informational purposes especially by real estate agents and political parties. These two groups usually have an invested purpose in creating attractive yard signs that have a lot of pizzazz. Other industries usually opt for bright colors and simple words and thus have less need for the anything unique. However, with the development of the solvent media and eco-ink there will be more chances that more and more creative yard signs are displayed and used by various industries.

Yard signs have so far been confined by their lack of durability. The signs were made with the fact in mind that they would be used for a short time only. However, with the latest print technology and development of the solvent ink the trend shows that there is more a chance for major develpments to take place in this form of marketing.
