Signs - tanTALK

Thinking about renting one of those black signs with the hot colored letters to put out by the road in my shopping center. Does anyone have any input on these? Are they a little cheesy and desperate?

My future competition ,which is big chain ,have it on the side road with theirs promo.
I will do it too when I open my 2d salon.
No shame

We use them all the time. Just don't leave it there a long time because people stop looking at it. Change your message too so they have to look. Check sign ordinances in your community. Ours limits the length of time you can have one before you have to pay a fee.

Did last spring it worked dam well. I can honestly say that worked better than any other ad's i did. Including Val Pak, direct mail magazines etc... However I use it too kick off busy season or a special only. I have done it twice only. And would not keep out longer than a month then I think it looks cheesy.

want to check with your town or city zone and signage that are allowed...but sounds like a good try..

We did it at our salon when we first opened. GREATTTTTTTT turn out. Plus we are in an AWESOME location RIGHT by a school. We were SWAMPED for Prom and thats NOT bad since we only opened about 3-4 months prior.

As said before, dont let it sit too long or it will be old news,and even if you change the message people will ingnore it.

You might cut a deal with a billboard company this time of year.
