Yard signs remain one of the most reliable, cost-effective marketing tools for local service companies. Whether you’re offering window cleaning, pressure washing, gutter cleaning, lawn care, or holiday lighting, a well-placed yard sign instantly boosts visibility in the exact neighborhoods you want to serve.
Unlike digital ads that disappear the moment you stop paying for them, yard signs work 24/7 and create real, lasting familiarity with your business. When customers see your sign in front of a home that’s just been serviced, it sends a powerful message of trust, quality, and social proof. This is why route density, neighborhood saturation, and repeat visibility are the foundation of successful service-based marketing.
At WCR Marketing, our yard signs are printed on durable coroplast, are fully weatherproof, and pair perfectly with our Patented Pro Step Stakes™—designed to prevent bent stakes, foot injuries, and difficult installs. These signs are built for real-world use by real service pros.
We offer four distinct yard sign types—each built to serve a different need, style, or budget. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Full Color Yard Signs
Our most popular option. These double-sided, full-bleed signs give you maximum visual impact and the flexibility to use any color, logo, or design style. Ideal for businesses that want a bold, high-end presence in their service areas and need something that stands out from traditional two-color signs.

Economy Yard Signs
Perfect for large quantity campaigns, route saturation, seasonal promotions, and low-cost neighborhood blitzing. Economy yard signs use simple, two-color print for excellent readability from a distance—all while keeping costs as low as possible. They look great and perform extremely well despite their budget-friendly price point.

Contour Cut Yard Signs (Fully Custom Shapes)
When you want maximum impact, a contour-cut sign is the top choice. Your artwork is cut along a custom path, giving you complete creative freedom to match your logo, character, mascot, or any unique shape. Ideal for businesses with memorable branding or those who want a sign that stops people in their tracks.

All WCR Marketing yard signs are printed on thick, rigid 4 mm corrugated plastic (coroplast)—the industry standard for outdoor signage. They are waterproof, UV-resistant, and built to withstand wind, rain, and extended sunlight.
Most Popular Sizes
- 18" x 24": The universal workhorse. Best readability, most cost-efficient, and ideal for Pro Step Stakes™.
- 24" x 24": Square format for bold logo-focused designs.
- 12" x 18": Smaller, more budget-friendly option for dense route placement.
Single-Sided vs Double-Sided
For maximum visibility on both sides of the street, double-sided signs are highly recommended. Single-sided signs work best against walls, fences, storefronts, or intersections where traffic faces one direction.
Hardware Options
Every yard sign pairs with H-stakes, but professionals overwhelmingly prefer our Patented Pro Step Stakes™ because they:
- Prevent bending and warping
- Install easily—just step and press
- Stay straighter in soft or uneven soil
- Last significantly longer than standard H-stakes
A yard sign has only a second or two to communicate your message. The most effective designs follow these principles:
- Use one bold headline. “Window Cleaning,” “Pressure Washing,” or “Your Service” should be unmistakable.
- Feature a single phone number. Avoid multiple contact options—simplicity wins.
- Choose high-contrast colors. Dark text on light backgrounds (or vice versa) is easiest to read.
- Include your logo—only if it helps. Overly detailed logos can hurt readability from the curb.
- Use double-sided printing. Ensure drivers from both directions can see the sign.
- Don’t overcrowd your sign. White space is your friend.
- Use QR codes sparingly. Only include one if it fits the campaign goal.
If you’re designing your own sign, we fully support Canva files—just send us the link. Or browse our yard sign templates for ready-to-edit designs engineered for readability.
If you’re just getting started, a run of 20–50 signs gives you enough coverage to test neighborhoods and track performance.
For established route-based businesses, 100–250 signs per season is typical. Many pros place signs after every job, at every neighborhood entrance, and at key intersections.
Yard signs are extremely inexpensive compared to the visibility and lead generation they provide—especially when ordered in bulk with quantity discounts.
Ordering is fast and flexible:
- Browse templates: pick a professional design and customize it to your brand.
- Upload your own file: we print your artwork exactly as provided.
