Bandit signs that stay up!!!! (Well kind of bandit signs)

So I am a 3rd grade teacher in Knoxville, TN and am just starting out in my real estate business. I have been looking at marketing ideas and mailers for a while now trying to discover the price, best strategy, and how to use them. I have always heard that some people will pay about $200 and get a bunch of bandit signs that they stick at major intersections. Most of the ones I see on the road are taken up by the city within a day or two. Well as I stated to think about advertising and billboards, I came to the conclusion that bandit signs are only good if they can stay in the ground and billboards are way to much money for a new investor. I then was put in charge of my school's advertising team. We let local businesses advertise by putting banners up on our fences as well as send home flyers from restaurants and places like that. Then it hit me!!!! I could hang up a banner or bandit sign at a local school that is located where I would like to do business. Our school charges $300 for you to place your sign or banner inside our gated fences as to keep it safe and secure. It then stays there for the year and after each year your contract is renewed. Thats an average of $25 a month for a sign that can be seen by all who enter the school, drive by the school, or even are walking their dog and your sign doesn't get taken down by the city!!!!!

I encourage everyone who is interested in cheap advertising to call their local elementary, middle, and even high schools to ask about fence advertising. It may not be $300 a year in your local area but it is cheaper than you think. Also you are donating to a school which will use that money to better educate YOUR CHILDREN!!!
