Who else uses bandit signs to market their services?

We have done this and got immediate results.

I have a former employee in a competing business (we're actually still friends) who uses handwritten signs with very poor results. The professionally printed ones I use produce immediately.

could we see a photo of one?

also who do you use for them?

Thanks Oldtoothless, I know a lot of people feel that way, and while two wrongs do not make a right, my area is plastered with bandit advertising signs. Hard to NOT do this when I get 4-6 times my investment back every time I put up signs.

Do you have to have a permit to use them in your area? Down here you have to get a certified sticker from the city to use any kind of sign, even open house signs.

As far as I know no such permit exists. One community has objected, Farmington Hills called and said there is a fine for posting these signs within the city limits, basically giving me a warning and asking me not to post any more. 800-got-junk uses signs like this extensively.

Alright, good to see my city is not the only one. It's funny to see code enforcement's truck bed full of garage sale signs on Sunday afternoons.

Yeah Grav a lot of cities don't like these signs. But for most, if they have ordinances on the books enforcement seems to be spotty at best.

Orange county florida. Dateline 2012. Post too many bandit signs and get rapid fire calls back from the city. The calls wont stop until you come in and pay the fine. leave a text contact instead. haha

What won't stop, exactly?

That's funny, I think you edited your post as I was commenting on it. NOW I understand! :-)

Guys, I know plenty of places to get bandit signs from lol. I was just merely asking burlyguys who he uses and if we could see a picture of one that he uses that brings in his awesome results.

George I'd have to go through my check register to get the name of who I uses. If I remember I will do that when I get back to Michigan.

No problem. i can see why you get a lot of immediate business with yours. No hype or anything. Simple and straight to the point.

You wish is my command. Hopefully this will work.

I frickin hate trying to download photos to this site.

New challenge. I will figure this out tonight.

I have a few places I can choose from but they all have different prices, etc.

I have been thinking of doing something like this for a long time. Just my company name, what I take "Scrap Metal, Junk, Electronics" and a phone number.

Here, you see bandit signs at populated intersections and on lots of street corners...is what where you generally place yours?
