Custom Yard Signs & Outdoor Business Signage

People are outside. Your marketing should be there too.

If you’ve got a yard, a sidewalk, a parking lot, then you’ve got a marketing opportunity. Outdoor signage is an excellent way to drive traffic, activity and awareness around your product or service offering. Make the most of it.

Yard Double Sided Standing Sign

Yard & Outdoor Signs 

The natural environment that surrounds us is teeming with untapped marketing opportunities. For instance, consider humble yard signs, which are a quintessential example of on-premise marketing. With the advent of modern smartphone technology, incorporating a QR code into a yard sign can transport you to a website, landing page, or even a digital tour in an instant! 

This strategy can be used for commercial outdoor signage as well, whether it is a bench advertisement, a bus stop shelter sign, a billboard, or even a floor graphic that can be placed on hardscape. Businesses frequently use custom yard signs, outdoor marketing signs, and branded outdoor displays to promote special offers, announce upcoming events, provide directions, or increase awareness of their services.

At Sir Speedy, we have a team of sign specialists who are equipped with a vast selection of sign styles and robust substrates that can withstand almost any type of weather.

Common Uses for Custom Yard and Outdoor Signs

Custom yard signs are widely used for a variety of marketing, informational, and promotional purposes. 
They are a popular choice for real estate listings, political campaigns, event promotions, retail advertising, community awareness initiatives, and directional signage. They are a popular choice for real estate yard signs, political campaign yard signs, grand opening yard signs, retail promotional signage, community awareness initiatives, and directional yard signs.

Since they are affordable, easy to install, and highly visible, custom yard signs for sale provide an effective way to communicate messages directly to people passing by. Temporary outdoor signs are also commonly used to promote seasonal sales, grand openings, construction projects, and other time-sensitive campaigns that require flexible, short-term advertising.

Business yard signs and outdoor promotional signs can be positioned near storefronts, roadsides, parking lots, and event venues where they can capture customer attention. Portable sign formats make it easy to update promotions or messaging without investing in permanent installations, allowing businesses to respond quickly to changing marketing needs. Many organizations also enhance their outdoor marketing signs by incorporating QR codes, promotional offers, or directional information, making it easier for customers to access digital content, find specific locations, or engage with a brand both online and in person.

Material, Durability, and Placement Considerations for Outdoor Signs

Outdoor signs are available in a variety of durable materials, with the best choice depending on factors such as weather exposure, installation method, display duration, and visibility requirements. Material selection plays an important role in how well signage performs in outdoor environments. Weather resistant yard signs are designed to withstand wind, moisture, sunlight, and changing temperatures, helping businesses maintain a professional appearance throughout the life of their campaign. 

Many businesses choose corrugated plastic yard signs because they offer a lightweight, durable solution for temporary promotions and events. Custom corrugated signs are commonly used for construction site signs, real estate yard signs, political campaigns, and retail promotions due to their versatility and affordability. For applications that require messaging from multiple directions, double sided yard signs can maximize exposure and improve visibility.

Businesses should carefully consider placement to maximize the effectiveness of their signage. Factors such as viewing distance, traffic speed, lighting conditions, installation location, and surrounding obstacles all influence how easily a sign can be seen and read. 

Different sign types, such as yard signs, storefront sidewalk signs, mounted panels, freestanding displays, and custom roadside signs, serve different promotional and directional purposes depending on the environment. Proper sizing, secure mounting methods, and strategic placement can improve readability, increase high visibility, and strengthen your overall outdoor branding with attractive branded outdoor displays that consistently reinforce your message.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are custom yard signs commonly used for?

Custom yard signs are commonly used for promotions, directional messaging, event advertising, political campaigns, real estate marketing, and community outreach. Businesses often invest in custom yard signs for sale because they are portable, affordable, and provide high visibility in outdoor environments. Popular applications include real estate yard signs, political campaign yard signs, grand opening yard signs, directional yard signs, and business yard signs that promote products, services, or upcoming events.

What materials are commonly used for outdoor signs?

Outdoor signs are typically produced using durable materials selected to withstand changing weather conditions and prolonged outdoor exposure. Corrugated plastic yard signs are among the most popular options because they are lightweight, economical, and suitable for a wide range of promotional applications. Many businesses also choose custom corrugated signs for temporary advertising, construction site signs, event promotions, and directional messaging.

The ideal material depends on factors such as wind exposure, moisture, sunlight, display duration, and the installation environment. Weather resistant yard signs help businesses maintain a professional appearance throughout changing seasons, while double sided yard signs increase message visibility from multiple directions. Choosing the right material improves portability, durability, appearance, and the overall lifespan of commercial outdoor signage, ensuring your investment continues to support your outdoor branding goals.

How do businesses choose the right size for outdoor signage?

Selecting the right size for outdoor promotional signs depends on several factors, including viewing distance, traffic speed, placement height, and the surrounding environment. Larger custom roadside signs and other commercial outdoor signage are often the best choice for roadways, parking lots, and high-traffic areas where messages need to be seen from a greater distance. 

Readability is equally important when designing outdoor marketing signs. Typography size, color contrast, graphics, and message length all influence how quickly people can understand the information being presented. Businesses should also consider local zoning requirements, placement restrictions, and installation guidelines when selecting sign dimensions to ensure their custom yard signs and other outdoor displays are both effective and compliant.

What should businesses consider before installing outdoor signs?

Before installing business yard signs or other commercial outdoor signage, businesses should evaluate their marketing goals, installation location, weather exposure, mounting requirements, and any applicable local signage regulations. Traffic flow, pedestrian visibility, lighting conditions, and nearby landscaping or structures can all affect how well outdoor promotional signs perform. Choosing durable materials such as weather resistant yard signs or corrugated plastic yard signs can also help extend the life of temporary and long-term outdoor displays.

It’s also beneficial to coordinate exterior signage with your overall branding strategy. Pairing branded outdoor displays with complementary graphics, wayfinding elements, and interior signage creates a consistent customer experience from the moment visitors arrive. 

Sir Speedy can help you develop a signage solution that includes custom yard signs, retail promotional signage, construction site signs, and outdoor event signage, along with matching window and wall graphics and interior lobby signage to create a seamless brand presence across your entire facility.

Truly the best in the business! I’ve had multiple signs made through sir speedy recently and couldn’t be happier. They took care of all the city permitting, production, and installation. And within two weeks of getting a proof approval?! Hall of frame level turnaround time, and they made it so easy for us. Time is a scarce resource for small businesses, and it is always pleasure working with them. You will not find better customer service anywhere else. I’ve been a loyal customer for almost a decade using their menu printing services for restaurants, and am so happy that they’ve expanded their signage and marketing material capabilities!

Max Neufeld

5's across the board in all categories. Conan, KeriAn and the team at Sir Speedy are a pleasure to work with. They can assist with just about any project large or small. It is great knowing they can handle anything I throw their way and they do it with a smile on their face. I will continue to use them for any printing, sign, or similar related project!

Rebecca Haydock

Fast, professional, accommodating, quality work. And to boot - they support the local business community. Good people & good prices too - highly recommend. We've had them print our annual reports, banners, many things.

CBIC Marketing

Sir Speedy has been our go-to partner for printing our gala materials for years, and they continue to deliver excellence. They did an outstanding job on our recent 27th Annual Gala, the quality was top-notch and truly helped elevate the entire event. A special shout-out to Conan and his dedicated team, who are absolutely amazing to work with. Their collective attention to detail, rigorous quality checks, and responsiveness made the entire process seamless once again. We are so grateful for our ongoing partnership and highly recommend their services!

Ryder Kenerson

Excellent customer service and quality work. Sir Speedy did window frosting and logo placement at my office downtown and I couldn't be happier. They're responsive, clear in communication, and act with a sense of urgency. Couldn't recommend Conan and his team enough!

Adam Zuckerman

We recently conducted a search for full-service kitting and fulfillment providers within a 200 mile radius of Buried in Work's HQ and ultimately selected Sir Speedy. The experience has been excellent from the start. Their team is attentive, hands on, and consistently focused on adding real value rather than simply processing orders. Communication has been clear and proactive (from multiple staff and the owner) and they have been easy to work with at every step on a complex project that involved accepting, sorting and processing materials from overseas, updating and printing materials in house, assembly, and shipping. Highly recommended for organizations looking for a responsive, value driven partner.

the bardo art gallery-café

We had an incredible experience working with Sir Speedy of Charlottesville. Conan and all team members were highly communicative, easily resolving errors (that I made!), and making signs that seamlessly fit, and elevated, our gallery-café.

Shiloe Gardner

I use SirSpeedy for quickly printing marketing materials for our Sales Reps on the road. It's much easier to send to SirSpeedy and have the sales rep pick it up directly at a location close to them, compared to me shipping from my state. They are very fast, have high-quality printing, and great customer service!!

David Ambrose

Conan was absolutely amazing from the jump. Super fast, efficient and responsive. Can't say enough good things about him. We will be using Sir Speedy for all of our signage needs!

Diana Boeke

I used to think Sir Speedy was more expensive than other local printers, or online options. It's not! And so easy to get a small or large order. They made it easy. And affordable. Great customer service when I got the file type wrong at first. They will talk you through it.

Bigglesworth Sanctuary

Sir Speedy did an amazing job! They took our small, rushed order and made us feel like our project was the most important thing they had ever worked on. The customer service was wonderful and they went above and beyond to get our logo (which has thin lines and several very small details) printed as we wanted it. The final product looks amazing and we are so happy with how it turned out! Thank you for making the very first shirts we have ever had for our new non-profit and for doing it with such care.

Madelyn Merchant

Conan and the Sir Speedy team have been incredible to work with! They are professional, dependable, and truly live up to their Speedy name with their quick turnaround times. On multiple occasions, they’ve helped us complete large projects - including personalized shirts, yearbooks, printed materials, and event signage - all within just a few days. Their responsiveness and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. Thank you for your outstanding service and support!

Tonya LaRose

Sir Speedy’s customer service has been truly outstanding! The team is incredibly responsive, with immediate turnaround times and impressive attention to detail. Their flexibility—especially when accommodating delivery requests to our office—has been a game-changer for me. Huge thanks to everyone involved — your excellence does not go unnoticed!

Brian Krow

Working with Conan and the Sir Speedy team has been nothing short of outstanding. Their work ethic is unmatched, and they went above and beyond to deliver a home mailer campaign that not only looked fantastic but also drove real results. What impressed us most was their ability to balance creativity with efficiency—helping us achieve significant cost savings without compromising quality. Even more important, the campaign generated a strong ROI for our clients, proving that their strategy and execution truly work. If you’re looking for a partner who is responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in your success, Conan and Sir Speedy are the team you want by your side. Highly recommended!

Carolina Diaz

I had a great experience working with Sir Speedy in Charlottesville. As a Darden MBA student, I worked with them for event materials and they were always super diligent, responsive, and easy to work with. The owner cares deeply about the business and is often personally involved in making sure everything goes well. A truly great company to partner with.

Audrey Putelo

I had such a wonderful experience working with KeriAn at Sir Speedy! She went above and beyond to help me with printing schedules and programs for my sister’s wedding. From the start, she was extremely communicative, guiding me through the process of selecting the perfect paper and making sure my documents were well-organized and looked their best. She was patient and attentive, willing to go back and forth over many emails and even took the time to help me in person when I stopped by. What stood out most was her level of care, even with my smaller order, she treated it with the same importance as a big job. After seeing how beautifully the schedules turned out, it was an easy decision to have Sir Speedy print the wedding programs as well. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend KeriAn and Sir Speedy to anyone looking for excellent service and quality printing!

Corbin Snow

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Working with Conan and the team at Sir Speedy has been nothing short of incredible! They recently helped us with the branding and signage for our new Farmer’s Market at Snow’s Garden Center, and the entire experience was over the top wonderful. From start to finish, they showed such care, attention to detail, and genuine pride in their work. The quality of the finished signage blew us away—it perfectly captured the look and feel we were hoping for and really elevated the launch of our market. Beyond the final product, what impressed us most was the personal touch: clear communication, creative input, and a real sense that they cared as much about our project as we did. Conan and his team went above and beyond, and we could not be happier. If you’re looking for a partner who delivers excellence with heart, Sir Speedy is the place to go. Five stars all the way! - Corbin Snow

Rebecca Leavell

Sir Speedy of Charlottesville is our go-to for all of our direct mail and flyer needs. They consistently deliver exceptional quality with an incredibly fast turnaround. The team is always a huge help with the mailing process itself, ensuring every piece is formatted correctly and gets out on time. They've truly become an essential partner for our marketing efforts. And, of course, having Dash—the adorable and experienced Customer Experience Officer—greet me at the door is always the perfect finishing touch.

Caitie Monaccio

Our team uses Sir Speedy for a variety of our marketing needs and are never disappointed. Unsurprisingly, they're very quick. The quality is great and the team is very pleasant to work with. Their online portal makes it very easy to track projects, invoices, and payments. On top of that, I find their pricing is almost always better than others out there. Highly recommend!

Megan Fielding

They work fast (even with our tight deadline), deliver great quality results, and have a great staff - especially the meownagers on duty. That made picking up the order that much more exciting! I would 10/10 recommend Sir Speedy.

James Walker

Excellent experience! And thank you for sending samples to our office. The quality of the final product is great and exactly what we were hoping for! We will keep coming back for more of our needs.

Paige Foote

We’re so grateful for the excellent service we received! Communication was fantastic. Every question or concern we had was met with quick, helpful responses. Would recommend to all our friends and colleagues!

John Pezzoli

Working with KariAn at Sir Speedy has been delightful. The designer (Dan, I think) did a very nice job of working with my text and ideas. They handled many corrections and changes promptly and courteously. The finished product is beautiful.

Chris Ketcham

Ordering my marketing materials has become remarkably streamlined. The customer service is exemplary, and the quality of the items I have purchased thus far has surpassed my expectations. Having discovered Sir Speedy of Charlottesville, I will no longer need to depend on ordering my marketing products online or from out of state.

Star Hargraves

I had a production snafu this week, and needed promotional materials for the event I had today. I called yesterday afternoon and spoke with a lovely woman named Carrie Ann I believe. She assured me that we could do something, and had stickers and magnets printed and ready to go at 10am this morning. Your team pulled a rabbit out of their collective hats and I couldn’t be more grateful! They did a great job!

Rose Guterbock

Sir Speedy offers beautiful quality print materials on a quick turn-around time, and their team is a pleasure to work with. We ordered window clings, which came out beautifully, and will continue to partner with them for our larger orders as well. They are the place to go for good service and quality!

Andrea Copeland

Excellent customer service. Fast turnaround on order. The finished product - a wall decal - completely transforms our little lobby.

Cheryl Duncan

We have partnered with SIr Speedy for our Fall program to support teenagers over the holidays. Conan has been wonderful to work with! I would recommend them for any of your printing and marketing needs.

Andrew Yowell

They did a great job on our banner and foam boards, incorporating design changes and creating a high quality product. They are also responsive and have generally fantastic customer service!

Lauren P

I use SirSpeedy for all of our businesses, they are amazing and have such a fast turnaround. Love the owners, the team and the quality of the work.

Bill Putnam

Sir Speedy got a banner made for my pop up market vendor tent on short notice and I could not have been more pleased with the product and the service. Great company and exceeded my expectations.

Michael Gerry

I didn’t end up using Sir Speedy’s services, but the person I talked to was so helpful and kind. They were realistic about their estimates and provided reasonable pricing and lots of great options. I would recommend them to anyone interested in getting some printing done.

Krystian Kennedy

Conan has breathed new life into Sir Speedy and let me be the first to say, they live up to their name. I have submitted numerous last minute requests and they are always so friendly, willing, and able to help with all of our printing need.

Dan Doernberg

Conan and his Sir Speedy staffers were great to work with on Sin Barreras's just-finished Cville Sabroso 2024. Communications back and forth were always very smooth, even during the time when Sir Speedy was moving offices. There was one production problem that we inadvertently created on our end (our first-ever Tshirt), and Sir Speedy was able to fix our problem without additional cost to us! We were happy with the quality of the final products, pricing was good... 100% a good experience.

Maryann Long

Couldn't have been more pleased. Our 2-sided business cards are gorgeous! We got prompt responses to questions and orders. Will be back!

Lauren Libercci

Conan and his sales team were absolutely amazing to work with! I know here at BioStar we will definitely be coming back to them any of our printing needs

Lola Gazebo

When I look for incoming emails, I scan the left side of my mail page to see the names or company names of those who have written me, not the center area with the email subject matter. I imagine it would be difficult to change your "customer service" title to something including the words Sir Speedy, but that is how I missed spotting the email with the proofs of my new business cards which were sent to me on a Monday, but not found until Thursday when I called your shop. I am not complaining AT ALL about the timing..... just about the sender's "name" not giving any indication that the email was from your shop. I understand that Dan (thank you, Dan, for the nice job on my new cards!) works remotely, so using "Sir Speedy" in his email might not be an option, but perhaps new and senior customers could be advised that this is what to look for when awaiting the proofs. Carrianne was very helpful and lovely to work with, and Dash is a charmer!

Joe Thomas

Very helpful! We are a startup in an industry where we are up against some big companies and needed a lot of professional help in making us look our best when it in public!

Amanda Liscouski

Sir Speedy is our "go to" for event signage and marketing print needs. The team really cares about quality and our orders always turn out beautiful. Conan is so knowledgeable and always has a suggestion to level up our print game.

Jason Itri

We've worked with Conan at Sir Speedy to create signs for our business, branded items and direct mailers. Everything was high quality and Conan has exceptional knowledge. We will go back to them when we need more of any of the above.

Casandra Hoffman

I was in a bind after my original printing services lost my order - but Sir Speedy saved me! I called the team and they were very responsive, provided details on the phone call, and additional information in writing via email after my order was submitted. The print quality was wonderful and everyone loved the poster!

Eric Huaman

Very good service and they were fast and concern about the final result for my signs. Highly recommended.

K D

So thankful I am came here! I needed flyers printed off for my company today. I initially went to staples - they were not helpful. Thankfully Lindsey picked up the phone and was super helpful and nice! I am picky about my paper and printing services. Lindsey was GREAT by catering to my needs. She pulled out all of the papers they have in store for me to look at and feel. She explained to me what she needed from me and was able to make me my beautiful flyers for me and my two marketers. They were able to have them printed within 20 mins and they were so flexible. Their prices are also super reasonable! Conan was great with explaining everything they print and showed me lots of different products. We will definitely come back for more printing services. They took so much time with me and they are super friendly! Thank you thank you thank you!! Perk: they have Dash [cat]!

Gina Camarda

I couldn't be happier with my order! Great customer service, outstanding communication, and super-fast. I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you!

Luc Abignale

Best customer service ever! All of my emails were responded to promptly, and Sir Speedy was very open to meeting specific accommodations and needs. Their customer service topped the chart.

Sandy Getchell-White

I had an issue with a final product, in this case printed envelopes. Lindsey and Conan were extremely helpful and willing to work with me to resolve it to my satisfaction-even though I had failed to catch the mistake myself. This is extremely important for nonprofit organizations who are limited in funds that can be used for advertising but rely heavily on the advertising benefits to the organization. We are very grateful.

Courtney Brown

Great service and people! I've had last minute projects and Conan has been extremely helpful. He's responded on weekends and always responds quickly. I work throughout Virginia and have never had a sign shop that's this attentive. They always make things happen. 10/10 recommend.

Suzanne Owen

Sir Speedy does excellent work. They had some really good ideas for signage and other items that I hadn't thought about. Ended up getting a new door mat with our logo as well as some signage for in house marketing! We will work with them for all signage and marketing projects in the future!

Mark Ross

Sir Speedy did an excellent job with our group's brochure with very professional, efficient and friendly service.

Albina Mahomedova

We had a very urgent project: an academic family tree for the 80th birthday of a highly respected professor at Cornell University. We had just a few days left before the birthday, and I was very stressed when I first called Sir Speedy in Charlottesville from Norway. I had no opportunity to be physically present, and I was afraid that something can go out of control. But everything went very well! Kim assured me that we're going to make it to the birthday and explained to me about all the options of printing we had in simple words. She was very patient and super helpful. We had a few errors after we confirmed printing, but we were still allowed to make changes. Everything was printed on time and budget and delivered safely. It brought a lot of happiness to the professor and his family. I highly recommend Sir Speedy. This company deserves the customers' trust. (Special thanks to Kim!)

Annette Goodson

I called to get a quote for customer invoices, I had an email with the quote in a couple hours. I asked if they delivered to the Lake Monitcello area and Kim responded if I sent her the file by the following morning they could deliver them to me the following afternoon! I think that is awesome service!! I will be reordering invoice in the future!

Marianne Kish

We had a creative idea for how to welcome back our teachers to school in the Fall. Because of the timing, we had very little lead time to put our plan into action. Steve and his team at Sir Speedy made it happen. He was easy to connect and communicate with throughout the project. His team provided great turnaround time which was critical given our timeline. The quality of our signage was excellent and delivery was made convenient and on time. What a great experience!

Lisa Himes

Sir Speedy has for been an awesome company to work with over the years. I volunteer for a small non-profit where every penny counts and they are always great on pricing and the service is amazing. When they tell you an order will be ready by a certain time, it always is. I would highly recommend Sir Speedy.
