It's fricking cutout letters and numbers. I'm not doubting your story, but what is it about her operation in particular that dozens of people within 2 miles of her can't replicate?

Not a sign but when my son turned 21 a bunch of his friends stuck thousands of plastic forks, knives and spoons in his yard (of his rental house). Thousands. Like a utensil every 2-3" over a 1/3 acre yard.

I have no idea how long it took them but it was funny as hell. He had a crappy old push mower with a bagger and just mowed them up.

You are correct and in our neighborhood there are probably 3-4 different companies I see do signs.

In her case, she had a sizable college network and managed to franchise the heck out of it. I helped her back in 2020 with some website stuff setting up, I get free signs for life.

Lady across the street from me has 2 kids. She must let them celebrate birthdays every 6 months, because it seems like little Brayden and Emma get two sets of Happy Birthday signs every year.

I I would like to discuss a business opportunity with you. Got just a small startup cost, you can profit from the oversized obnoxious sign trend that has been sweeping the nation. If you recruit two sign sellers, it pretty much pays for itself.

These were huge back in 2020/2021 around the hospitals.

“We <3 our healthcare heros!”

“Heros work here!!!”

More basic than trashy.

Back when I was a kid if you were having a baby you’d put a wooden stork about the size of the Spanish town flamingo signs in your yard and decorate it with a blue or pink ribbon.

Old school gender reveal I guess.

I just never understood why it's not facing towards the house. If the kids birthday is that day and he wakes up and walks out is he reading the back of it?

QED: Lack of motivation because they don't pay attention to how much they spend on behalf of the earners.
