Why Are Custom Shaped Yard Signs So Effective?

By now everyone knows the power of yard signs to promote your message and spread awareness. There’s no cheaper and easier way to draw attention to your cause, service, event, business, school, or individual accomplishment than with yard signs. However, with the popularity of yard signs increasing, it is becoming harder to make a big time impact. How can you guarantee your yard sign won't be lost in the sea of signs already adorning the front lawns and sides of the roads in your town or city? Is there a way to crank your yard sign design upto 11 and stand apart from the crowd? Absolutely! Custom shaped coroplast signs are the best way to take an ordinary yard sign and make it extraordinary.

There are a few tiers of shapes available. From simple shapes to complex shapes: the only limit on what you can make is your imagination. If you can dream it up, we can most likely make it. Custom yard sign shapes can range from your standard shapes such as triangles and hearts or more custom shapes like logo shapes. The list below will give you an idea of some of the most popular options for custom shaped yard signs.

10 9 Ways to Use Custom Shaped Yard Signs

  1. Simple shapes can make a substantial messaging impact. Are you looking to break away from standard rectangular shapes? Maybe a simple diamond, heart, triangle, circle or octagon would make your sign stand out more. All of those shapes can be printed easily. Heart shaped yard signs are popular for nonprofit organizations and recognition programs. Promoting community awareness with a heart-shaped yard sign makes a more significant impact than a typical rectangular yard sign.

  2. Sports teams can benefit from custom shaped signs by having their yard signs cut to the team mascot’s shape. Another popular option is having the signs personalized for individual players and cut the shape of the players’ head or body from their team photo. Another opportunity for a sports team to use custom shaped yard signs is by cutting the sign to the shape of the player’s number. Nothing says team pride better than a custom shaped sign.

  3. Graduation signs are all the rage these days. COVID-19 and its aftereffects have eliminated large gatherings of people. Just like many events, graduation ceremonies disappeared last year. Graduation yard signs are a perfect and economical way to make sure there was some community recognition in the absence of an in-person event. After in person graduation ceremonies return, it will be nice to have an added cherry on top of recognition with a yard sign for the new graduate in your family. Custom yard signs cut the shape of a graduation hat and tassel or a large cut out of the graduates head are two awesome ways to implement custom yard signs!

  4. Another amazing opportunity to use custom cutout signs is to give a tip of the cap to a top performer or overachiever. Student and employee recognition by way of a custom yard sign is the ultimate way to acknowledge success and accomplishments. Student of the month and employee of the month signs cut to the shape of your business logo or school magnet are sure to wow those who go above and beyond.

  5. Someone in your family have an upcoming birthday? Put a smile on their face with a custom shaped yard sign. Some popular birthday yard signs are cake shaped, number shaped, or in the shape of an interest or hobby. Maybe you have a daughter softball - how about a softball shaped sign? Have a son interested in science - maybe a custom birthday yard sign in the shape of a microscope would send him over-the-moon. It’s easy to see that with a bit of imagination you can make a big impact with custom yard signs.

  6. Most of the examples on this list have been great suggestions for organizations or individuals. However, businesses can use custom die cut corrugated plastic signs to stand apart from their competition also. The use of plastic yard signs is hardly a new marketing technique, pretty much any service business worth its salt has already implemented a yard signs campaign. There’s no better way to get the neighborhood talking about your business. Here’s how it works: You do a great job at one house, put your sign in the yard, and the rest of the block converges. Referrals are almost guaranteed. The only thing you can do to improve the impact is to customize the shape of your plastic yard signs to make a lasting impression. While your competitors are using standard rectangular signs, your signs will be more memorable because of their custom shape. More often your business logo can be formatted to fit a contour cut coroplast yard sign shape.

  7. Use custom die cut sign letters to spell out a special message with lawn letters. Custom yard letters can be used to draw attention to graduations, birthdays, and special events. Use a collection of letters to turn the front yard into a greeting card.

  8. Corrugated plastic yard signs have long been effective tools for directing groups of people. They’re often used for pedestrian and vehicle control during events of all sizes. The lightweight and cheap attributes of plastic yard signs make them excellent products for this use. Cutting directionals signs into custom shaped arrow signs enhances their visibility.

It seems like everywhere you look there is a flood of rectangular blue and white yard signs on every street corner prior to an election. Elections are a perfect chance to use custom shaped yard signs to get noticed. Emerge from the sea of standard rectangle signs with a custom shape. Some obvious suggestions are cut to the shape of the candidates headshot or implementing stars and stripes.
