  • Car ‘For Sale’ Signs

    Posted by JonnyAnnett on November 8, 2007 at 7:02 pm

    Hi all,

    Just spoken with a client who is looking some ‘For Sale’ signs done for his car dealership. He has requested that they are of a similar size to the general ones that a number of car dealerships use.

    He’s referring to the correx board with the ‘Sale’ on it. I know exactly what he is after but I haven’t done any of these before. He doesn’t know measurements because it will be his first lot.

    Hopefully someone knows the signs I’m talking about.

    I’m just wondering if anyone on here has done these and knows what is the general size that should be used? I can really walk into a car dealers and whip one of their sizes down to measure it.

    Cheers
    Jonny

    Jonny,

    I seriously think you may be banging you head against a wall here.

    These are common items and somebody somewhere is producing them by the thousand and there is no way on this earth that you are going to compete with them on price.

    Best just to buy them in, stick on a mark-up, and move them on.

    A good place to start looking is http://www.autosigns.co.uk

    John,

    Yeah, I kinda thought there would be someone producing them somewhere because they are that common. I’ve looked on that site and they have what I’m looking for but all be it not on correx board.

    I’ve got some measurements of that site though so will give it a try and see what I can come up with.

    Jonny

    P.S. Cheers for those websites John and Peter.

    John,

    My apologises, you where correct. I thought I’d give it a go and see what I could come up. It wasn’t worth the effort to be honest. I’ll keep track of those websites for the next time.

    Thanks
    Jonny

    No apologies are necessary Jonny.
