I need a plan B. :/ Thoughts?

What about food stores, Shop-rite, Path-mark etc...don't they have bulletin boards in the entrances/exits. Other stores sometimes allow you to put flyers inside their windows, tell them you'll give them a small fee if you obtain any leads from their place.
Put business cards everywhere. Try a "penny-saver" type of paper... remember, 1 deal will more than pay for advertising.

How bout not putting a phone number on the signs that can be traced back to you. There are services that will give you a generic number and it can be forward to you or you can have a prerecorded message for buyers or sellers. How can they fine you if they don't know who you are.

He posts them up Fri night in the evening and pick up Sunday in the evening. I can't remember who the poster was but their city had ordinances that ptohibited the signs so they put them out after city workers hours and picked up before city offices opened mon morning. Holidays allow an extra day!

write down on a piece of paper the question you ask of your mind
where can i put signs out to be seen by many??

1.in trees
2.magnetic signs on cars and truc
3.bumper stickers
4.fence posts
5.make your mailbox an advertisement
6.bulletin boards
7.laundry mats
8.have car mats made with advertisements on them
9.find out wher the local parades are held and have signs made to plaster on floats or old cars or wgons or anything u think of
10.ask the pizza delivery person to advertise on the car for something in exchange such as $$ or a deal on a property or be willing to work the weekend or 2 behind the counter.
11.go to many business and offer to hand out their cards for a spot on their counter with your cards or flyer
12.i cant think of any more stupid ideas cause i am hungry and just getting off work so you get the idea . great post your getting us to use our mind!!!!

Jay has some great suggestions. Also you may want to approach private houses that are on a corner /area you want to post a sign at and ask if you can post on their property. They may have a tree that you can attach a sign to or a lawn. offer them compensation if you get a lead that you close on from the sign in their yard.
Home depot and other places like that are a good place to put a sign also.

good luck

Thanks, everyone!

This has been really helpful! Richie, I was just thinking about that myself: who we know that lives on a street corner or near some decently trafficked areas.

Gary and Jill,

Yes, I have taken note of the boards in grocery stores the past couple days. We've gone in a bunch of different grocery stores around town while hunting for redbox movies in kiosks! Now, I'm being conscious of checking each one as soon as I enter.

An Investor told me a long time ago he paid a home owner in Long Island to put sign in her front yard to sell his listings. my suggestion is if you talk to home owners nicely ask if you can post a sign FSBO in their property when your property sells you will give them something for the help . I am in Fl my area you have to put out Fri evening and pick up Sun night. or your fine will empty your BA.I haven't done it as yet but I have spoken to a few people already and they agree for me to put post my sign in their yard. Good Luck.

It's Often Overlooked...................However, for a small payment, dinner, some movie tickets or even a "party space" at one of your empty properties..........I find eager teens that would like a p/t job, absolutely love to dress in funny costumes i.e.(clown, gorilla, princess, etc.) and Hold a SIGN of your choice or liking. It is UNBELIEVABLE how many calls you will actually get................This being primarily because they have SEEN and READ your sign.

Also i saw someone on youtube who posted signs on foreclosed homes to find cash buyers. But of course you have to do this before a realtor starts to market it.

This has been great stuff so far, everybody! Thanks! I know bandit signs are a big part of marketing, and to have that weapon taken out of my tool box means I'm going to have to try that much harder to be creative. You guys are helping a lot!
