Political Yard Signs - How to Get Attention


Over many months I have read countless articles written by seasoned sign makers, political consultants and graphic artists providing their opinion as to what ingredients go into making the perfect, vote getting political yard sign.  The "seasonings" that go in the recipe include a dash of fonts, an array of colors coupled with just the right size political sign.  Combine that with strategic placement of each sign and "poof" the candidate is instantaneously recognized as being a serious contender.

That is, until the candidate wakes up the next morning only to see his perfect political yard sign surrounded by what seems to be dozens of new political signs resting right next to his sign and in many cases obscuring his sign.  His few hours of fame as a serious contender flows unnoticed into the sea of political signs.  In the South there is a pesky plant called Kudzu that legend has it that you can see it grow literally see it grow right in front of your eyes.  Stand still at any street corner and watch the political signs grow and grow and grow right in front of your eyes.

One fact remains is that no matter how many yard signs you have unless some notices your sign, you have wasted your money.  They say that size matters so it is natural as the field gets crowded to go with bigger signs.  And, indeed that may be a good direction.   But before you lay down your hard earned cash for larger signs close your eyes and visualize your self proudly standing by your new large sign; your name in lights.  Then close your eyes again and visualize what will be right next to your large sign in only a matter of days.  You guessed it.  A sign bigger and presumably better that your brand spanking new sign.  And the beat goes on!

So what is the ticket?

First, to recognize that the font you choose, your sign color, the size of your sign and where you put your sign will not, in short order, be any different...repeat no different that the host of other candidates.

Second, unless you have an immense war chest and donors a mile long, you can't win the battle by playing the game of Let's see who has the most signs.  After all, now you have double the amount of signs crammed along side a dozen other on every street corner in town.  2 = 2 = 100?

Third...and this is the ticket.  Great signs are eye-catching.  "Anyone who is a hunter, or even played hide and seek as a kid, knows that it's easier to spot your 'prey' if it's moving."  Movement scientifically causes the eye to move to the source of the movement.  Put simply, if your sign moves, the voters eye will be drawn to your sign, your name will be recognized and most importantly remembered when the ballots are cast.

There are signs that use a hanging sign stake that allows the sign to dance and spin. Try those in your political campaign and see the difference.

SignThatSpin.com has indeed revolutionized the political sign business offering an array of eye-catching signs featuring the SignsThatSpin.com exclusive hanging sign stakes.  The signs are very affordable, easy to install and will make you name stand out in the crowd.  Even in a "sea of signs" you sign will be noticed.

Too Much Of Politics Over Policy: 5 Considerations

Is the American system of governing, and political system, wounded, destroyed, weakened, or, merely, undergoing a period, of extreme distress? Those, who have followed politics, and the national news, for decades, realize and recognize, there is widespread apathy, within our electorate, which probably, largely explains, our relatively, low, voter turnout! In addition, many, who vote, do so, based on the empty promises, and rhetoric of political candidates, as well as their perceptions, personal biases, and prejudice, and, rather than hopes and aspirations, focus on self - interest! Unfortunately, we often, witness, far too much emphasis on partisan politics, over, quality policy, and the needs of the American people. With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly review, examine, and consider, using the mnemonic approach, many of these concerns, and considerations. 1. Political/ personal agenda: Who should, versus, who do, elected officials, actually serve, and represent? T...
