Yard signs might seem simple, but they're one of the most effective and versatile tools for advertising, awareness, and community engagement. Whether you’re running for office, promoting your business, directing traffic, or cheering on your favorite graduate, yard signs help get the message across both quickly and affordably.

What are yard signs?

Yard signs, also known as lawn signs or coroplast signs, are small, lightweight signs made from corrugated plastic and staked into the ground. These signs are weather resistant, easy to install, and customizable for nearly any purpose. At Star Sign, we typically make yard signs 18” x 24”, but we can create custom sizes based on your needs.

Common uses for yard signs

Yard signs are popular because they’re affordable, durable, and easily distributed. They might be used for:

Political campaigns
Real estate listings
Local business promotions
Events and directional signage
Fundraisers and community causes
Graduation and celebration shoutouts

If visibility and grassroots impact are your goals, yard signs are a great place to start.

Design tips for maximum impact

You might only have a few seconds to make an impression, so your design matters. Star Sign’s in-house designers can create a professional layout that fits your goals, especially if you’re not sure where to start. Here’s some pointers to make your sign stand out:

Bold colors and contrast: High visibility matters, especially from a moving car. Dark text on a light background (or vice versa) works best
Simple messaging: Stick to a few key elements - business name, phone number, slogan, or website.
Readable fonts: Avoid cursive or narrow fonts.
Logo placement: Keep branding consistent across all your signage and marketing materials.

Materials and hardware

Most yard signs are made from coroplast, a corrugated plastic that’s lightweight but strong enough to handle Southern Utah’s weather. For mounting, we provide H-stakes, which slide right into the sign and push into the ground, no tools required.

How many signs do you need?

Depending on your goals and reach, the number of signs you need might change. Here’s a quick guide:

Campaigns: For local elections, you might start anywhere from 100-500 signs.
Real Estate: One per property or open house.
Businesses: 10-50 signs spread throughout high-traffic areas.
Events: Plan for directional signs at entrances and exits.
