A few years ago Seattle imposed new rules about how things such as garage sale signs could be posted which included the denial of posting on telephone and other utility poles. This had the result of forcing homeowners to come up with creative solutions to get their signs out by the sidewalks. Some of the visual impact that has followed along with this change is that you’ll see cardboard boxes with signs attached (and occasionally being blown around) or you’ll see stake signs (also illegal in Seattle) that are home made.
We decided a little while back that it might be useful for homeowners to have a flashy, easily visible A-board sign much like what agents use to show off their open houses in neighborhoods. The result of our design is posted above in the graphic with this post. Sure, it has our logo on it – we’re all for some advertising for ourselves too but the logo also puts folks on notice that this house may be on the market soon, which is a nice guerilla marketing tactic for our clients – especially as we go into a more neutral marketplace where marketing needs to be quick and effective. And, if you’re a buyer, it might give you the head’s up early if a great property is coming on the market. If you’re going to be working with Team Reba you can sign up for the use of our signs via the link.
