Yard signs are a highly versatile signage option. These signs can be used to advertise sales, businesses and even for political campaigns. You can use these signs for other things too. In fact, these signs make great temporary signage. Because of their affordability and their customizable qualities, yard signs by Trending signs actually make the perfect temporary wayfinding signs.

An Example

Let’s say that the city is planning on repainting the lines in the public parking lot behind your office building. You write up an email explaining the situation to your tenants and send it to them a week before the day the city will be closing the lot. In the email, you include the location of the secondary lot and when they’ll need to use it. Everyone is aware of the situation and you feel assured that people will be able to handle this change.

Then, on the day the city is painting your lot, almost half of your tenants and their employees are ticketed for being in the wrong parking lot. You didn’t realize that there are several parking lots around the public secondary lot. This led to confused people parked in the wrong place and getting ticketed.

All of this could have been easily prevented, though. With temporary wayfinding yard signs, the city could have easily placed highly visible signage near the entrance to the secondary parking lot. And once the original lot was back in usable order, the yard signs could have been easily removed.

Yard Signs

One of the main reasons these signs are perfect for a temporary situation like this example is their price point. These signs are highly affordable, making them a great option for a short-term situation. You don’t want to invest in something expensive if you’re only going to be removing it. But a piece of paper stapled to a tree isn’t going to cut it, either. You’ll want something that won’t cost you a fortune but will still get you the right bang for your buck.

Yard signs would have been a perfect solution to the example above because of their visibility. Yard signs can combine high-contrast colors, lettering and graphics to make sure that people will easily be able to read them. Even as people pass by these signs in vehicles, the high-visibility will ensure that drivers will be able to read them and identify where it is they need to be.
