Unless you are advertising the lemonade stand of your kid, you should not resort to doing your own yard signs, especially if you do not have an ounce of creativity in your blood. First, in order for a signboard to be effective, you need to carefully plan its design. Be sure to make its overall appearance catchy.

This can help with catching the attention of your target audience.
Finally, you have to consider the size of your signs. Bigger is always better. But make it too big and you wont enjoy the view outside your front windows, or your neighbors will never allow you to use their lawns.
