How to make a yard sale sign in 3 steps

1. 1

   Choose the kind of sale

   Yard, garage, estate, moving, multi-family, rummage or bake sale. Rewrite the title if you like.

2. 2

   Add when and where

   The date (and a second day if there is one), the times, the address and the arrow’s direction. Leave the date, times or address empty to write them in by hand.

3. 3

   Print a few and post them

   Print one with the arrow pointing right and one pointing left for each corner. Half-page signs fit two to a sheet.

What to put on a yard sale sign

• The kind of sale, in the biggest letters.
• The date and times: drivers decide in a few seconds, so keep them short (“Sat 8 AM – 2 PM”).
• The address, or just the street name if the arrow does the rest.
• A big arrow pointing the way, on every sign that is not right in front of the sale.
• Two or three words on what you sell, if you want: “Furniture, toys, tools”.

Tips for signs people can read from a car

• Fewer words, bigger letters. Red or black on white reads best.
• Put a sign at each turn from the nearest busy road, with the arrow pointing the way.
• Tape the sign to a piece of cardboard or a foam board so it does not flap, and slip it into a clear sleeve if rain is forecast.
• Some towns need a permit for yard sales or limit where signs can go (often not on utility poles, traffic signs or medians). Check your town’s rules.
• Take every sign down when the sale is over.

Printing, cutting and folding

1. Print at 100% (Actual size). Most printers cannot print the outer 1/4 inch, so the designs stay inside it.
2. Half page: choose “cut” for two signs per sheet, or “fold” for a table tent at the checkout table.
3. Card stock (65–110 lb / 170–300 gsm) holds up better outdoors than plain paper.
