Thanks for the constructive criticism! We just started investing in February so we can use all the help we can get ; we’re re-strategizing with these points in mind(thanks a lot for the masking tape idea that was very helpful), We’ll let you know how it works out. We just closed our first deal on wed. and our second is to close at the end of the month. So we’ll be able to afford something a little better. Up until this point we’ve been running on a shoe-string budget.
Additionally:
There is about a ¼ mile of empty lots in front of the signs, so they are pretty visible. In fact they’re pretty hard to miss, lol. I’ve actually talked to a number of people in the area and they are seeing the signs. Also we do have the signs angled on the third location. Though on the first location there is a considerable amount of space before and after the sign with little to no obstruction, so we figured the straight signs would be effective, but we’ll reconsider the point.
The traffic count is between 1,500-2,000 at peak hours according to Caltrans
The speed limit is 45mph
We can’t really control the location of the signs, because one of our buyers was kind enough to let us put these signs up on some vacant lots they own around town (so they are NOT illegal) in exchange for having first crack at our properties.
@ Jon – You start off with “In my humble opinion” yet the majority of your post is drenched in condescension. If I might suggest, perhaps you should structure your criticisms in a more constructive manner as opposed to the destructive way it was done. It seems as though you’re more interested in nit-picking every detail of the sign instead of coming up with ways to improve them. And as far as the signs being to expensive we we’re able to get them do them at around $15 a piece. In my humble opinion not to bad for an advertising piece that’s up 24/7, 365 days a year.
And thanks again to everyone for the helpful insights. :D
