6 Ways To Create Real Estate Signs Denver House Hunters Notice

By Sarah McDonald


Most people who are looking for a house to buy check out neighborhoods on their own before contacting a Realtor. Signage is what alerts them to the fact that a property is available. The information on the sign may determine whether or not they make a call for more information. To ensure that happens the Realtor has to design real estate signs Denver house buyers are intrigued by.

Tailoring your signage to the most likely audience is important. You would not market a rental property in the same way you would market an estate home overlooking the ninth hole of a prestigious golf course. You have to understand what motivates your audience and make sure your signage reflects that. Otherwise your sign is wasted money.

Signs are advertising and marketing opportunities. They are not just for information. Every sign you put up should include a call to action. You have to tell the reader what to do. If you want a prospective purchaser to call for more information, the sign must say so. If you are having an open house, the sign in the front yard needs to be a great big personal invitation. You have to remember that signage is a selling tool.

Buying in bulk is a temptation you should avoid. Buying this way makes the cost per sign cheaper, but if the message is wrong, the signs are useless and you will have wasted your own, or your Broker's, money. If you want to purchase several signs at once to save money, you need to test the market first to see what it effective, and what falls on deaf ears.

It is great for your signage to be clever and graphically pleasing, but you have to include real information too. If the house has four bedrooms and three baths, you should say so. You will be wasting everybody's time by being vague. By the same token, nobody puts the price on a sign, and there is a reason for that.

Proofreading is your responsibility, not the printers. When the printer gives you a sign proof you need to look it over carefully. If there is a misspelled word, you can bet prospective purchasers will catch it, even if you do not. Realtors who, mistakenly, let incorrect and misleading information go up on a sign can get a call from the real estate commission.

Too much copy and too many graphic elements are almost as bad as no sign at all. You need to remember that buyers will probably be driving buy the signs you put up. If the signage is overloaded with copy and cute graphics, the reader's eye won't know what to look at first. You only have a second or so before the sign is out of the reader's line of vision.

Effective signage helps sell houses. Ineffective signage can mean that a property sits on the market longer than necessary. Good Realtors know what the difference is.
