The Importance of Campaign Yard Signs

Election yard signs are not just cardboard on a stick for your front yard. They are literally reminders of the foundation of American government; what it represents and is all about. When viewed from this perspective, they carry significant weight.

Further Your Candidate’s Cause with Election Yard Signs

While the reputation of political yard signs may be low on the totem pole compared to other forms of political campaign marketing, they are a time-honored grassroots political marketing tool. Local and national, and large and small campaigns alike benefit from them. Inherent in any type of marketing or advertising is the design of the message.

Taking the time to properly design your candidate’s political yard sign can mean the difference between a “Yay″ or “Nay″ vote. Why? Because design speaks to the brand that is your candidate. Americans are bombarded by thousands of messages every day. What’s going to make your candidate’s get through? You want your candidate to be remembered not just when a potential voter sees a sign, but come voting time as well.

2 Crucial Design tips for Election Yard Signs

Make it Readable: The first tip in designing an effective, vote-getting political yard sign is to make it readable. Many overlook this simple fact by trying to crowd too much on one sign. Go for one impactful message to be effective.

Give it Purpose: Election yard signs generally fulfill one of three objectives: to raise awareness about a candidate, to get votes for a candidate and/or to sway the votes away from a candidate. An effective sign should address all three - just one.
