Tell me what I’m doing right or wrong. Which one do you think is better?
nobody?
The first one I dont like at all… It didnt tell the story fast enough… What I mean is I know what you are offering but the normal person wont associate it fast enough and your best adverting is advertising that makes us do something without thinking about it. The handwritten one should be handwritten… There are plenty of computers now a days that allow you the ability to write on the screen. Use a yellow blank… IF its a child’s story make it a child font… I would replace the money symbol with a stick family. the third again too much to think about and I instantly thought handyman and not an investor…
A bandit sign only has three lines which are the most visible. Make sure you keep your message within those three lines. When you create your message make certain it is succinct and that the telephone number is easy to remember, which is why I like using vanity numbers. Using an eight hundred number unless it is a vanity number requires the prospect to remember ten digits rather than seven. You never want to make remembering you difficult.
Also a easy to remember numeric vanity number should out pull an alphabet number. If youre in a single area code area drop the area code as well.
I said earlier on another post that you should call your telephone company and have your business name and number listed so it shows up on caller ID. This listing should also be input into the white page advertising. I don’t care if you named your business Joe Nichols Investment Company make certain that if people look in the telephone book under “I Buy Houses” or “We Buy Houses” they see your telephone number.
Like the famous tennis shoe company slogan says “Just do It”. I know I buy a house a year because someone looks up “I Buy Houses” in the telephone book because they cant remember the telephone number on someones bandit sign.
By the way this is free!
what does this mean?
If I go with the “My Dad Buy’s Houses” should it be on black on yellow background?
thats what that means
Don’t take this the wrong way, but those signs suck harder then sucky suckson. lol.
Let me help you out on this. First off, it seems like you are trying to recreate the well.
First off i can tell you that black on white isn’t going to work.
Second, The less you have on your signs, the better the response rate. People only will see your signs for a few seconds. All they care about is that you buy houses and how you can be contacted. That’s all they care about and that is all it should be.

Just remember what I said, there is no need to recreate the wheeel. Go with that has been proven to work.
That sounds like good advice; however I’ve been reading that you want to be different from all of the other “We Buy Houses” signs. Seems the consensus is that people have become desensitized to it.
No matter how you try and change up the wording, people are still going to know that you are a house buyer regardless. If I had a house problem, I would write down the number of the first bandit sign I saw that advertised that the person bought houses. Like I said earlier, don’t make it more complex then it has to be. When I first got started using bandit signs, I thought the same way you did. My mentor broke me out of that thinking quick. Don’t complex simplicity.
ok will do.
