Printing your yard signs

  • Size: 18 x 24 in, landscape or portrait, the most common size for yard signs.
  • Your file: save the print-ready PDF, or download the PNG (150 dpi with 1/8 in bleed). Both include the bleed print shops ask for.
  • Material: most print shops print yard signs on 4 mm corrugated plastic and supply wire H-stakes. Ask whether you want one or both sides printed.
  • Check the QR code with your phone before you order a batch.

Printing your door hangers

  • Size: 4.25 x 11 in, front and back. Your print shop cuts the hanger hole and slit with its standard door hanger die; the red dashed lines in the preview show where.
  • At home: print two per sheet of Letter paper, double-sided (flip on long edge), then cut along the middle and the dashed lines.
  • At a print shop: save the PDF (front and back pages) or download the 300 dpi PNG files.

Tips that bring in calls

  • Make the phone number huge. The maker sizes it as large as possible, so it can be read from the street.
  • Keep it short. Your service, your name, your number and a QR code. Drivers have a few seconds.
  • Tell people what the QR code does, such as "Scan for a free estimate", but only if your estimates are free.
  • Show your license number where your state requires it in advertising.

The rules to follow

  • Get permission before placing a sign in a customer’s yard, and check your city’s sign rules and any HOA rules.
  • Never put door hangers in mailboxes. Federal law prohibits placing unstamped items in mailboxes. Hang them on door handles.
  • Respect "No soliciting" signs.
  • Only advertise offers you will honor, and keep every claim truthful.

Frequently asked questions
