Political Signs

Political Signs Effectiveness:

The purpose of political signs is to get the message out. Every election year, yards across America grow a fresh crop of political yard signs. They are an important part of the elections because they can quickly bring a candidate's name to the forefront.

Depending on local ordinances candidates may be restricted to the number of signs they are permitted to have up and how close to the street, they are allowed. In some districts, a candidate can have as many signs as he has registered voters, while other districts, this number may be too high. Political yard signs are not always enough. Candidates also want a variety of large signs to small signs.

In rural districts where there is a greater area of to cover, the ratio should be more large signs to small signs, where as in urban districts the ratio is reversed. Small political signs are great for neighborhoods.

Another rule of thumb for many candidates is to place large signs in areas where the speed limit is 30 MPH or greater, and they place their smaller signs along neighborhood streets where the speeds limit is under 30 MPH.
