Regular readers of Bloodhound Blog will know that every now and then Greg Swann talks about creating custom signs for each of his listings.
A unique sign is made for each individual listing. The sign is printed with full color images of the particular property, and with ad copy describing the particular property, along with the usual real estate company logo and info.
I love this idea. Recently, in a comment thread about the signs, Greg remarked about how this could be a business opportunity for a sign vendor.
The sign vendor could offer a selection of pre-designed semi-custom sign templates. The customer would place an order via a web input form, inputting the descriptive text for the particular sign, and uploading the photos. The customer would tweak it around until it looked just right, then submit the order.
Yes, I know the image files would need to be very large for for best quality on the sign panel. OK. A downside for the vendor would be small quantities. I can't see needing more than two or three signs for each property address. Most times one only would do the job.
Corrugated plastic (coroplast) would be just fine. After all, each sign panel does not need to last a lifetime, it only needs to last until the property is sold. And coroplast would certainly be more affordable.
In a comment, I asked for any sign vendor who could offer this to contact me. I'm a ready, willing, and able customer.
So far, I haven't heard from any sign vendor. :-)
Anyone here on Active Rain know of a sign vendor who can do this? Or a print shop?
