Tips on Designing an Open House
57Designing an Open House Sign
If you need a custom open house sign done then you should consider designing your own sign. Consider following the tips below to get started
Sign Color & Fonts
Choose a font that looks great and attracts attention. If people can’t read your sign, or it is illegible, then you will not attract business. Stick to basic clean fonts and make sure that the letters are large enough to read at a distance. You may want to select bright colors to bring attention to your sign, the following color combinations work great together and provide high visibility:
* Black on Yellow
* Black on White
* Yellow on Black
* White on Blue
* Blue on Yellow
* Red on White
You want to avoid utilizing colors that are alike, such as blue on green, or orange on red. As long as there is a strong contrast between the colors, they should work to your sign advantage.
Where To Place Your Open House Signs
Where you choose to place your signange will affect the amount of information that you will include. If your sign is clost to a highway, or in a location where people will be reading it as they drive by, you want minimal information. If your sign is mostly exposed to foot traffic, then you can be more extensive in your message. Above all else, make sure you place your sign in a position where it is easy to read and it is eye-catching.
Graphic Images
If you decide to add graphic images such as a photo or logo to your sign, make sure that the sizing of the image does not detract from the sign itself. Try to stay away from any designs that are too intricate or unclear from a distance. It is best to select a simple graphic that presents your business and professionalism.
Keep Your Real Estate Sign Simple
No matter how you decide to design your open house sign, it is best to keep it simple. You do not want your sign to take away from the message you are trying to convey, and basic is always better. If you take these tips into consideration, you will have a great looking and successful sign in no time.
