For lease signage has always been an important way to find tenants for a property. Listing a property for lease with signs is one of the many effective ways to get traffic and inquiries from interested parties. Here are a few of the common uses of for lease signs that have proven to be effective:

• Hanging a banner from a building - Hanging an outdoor vinyl banner from a building you want to lease is a great way to get noticed. Buildings are easily spotted from the roadside as drivers pass by. To provide the most visibility for your banner, hang it from the building near the edge of the roof. You can mount your banner using grommets and hooks or rope.
• Wooden sign posted on side of road - Large wooden signs are durable and last a long time outdoors. Whether you are advertising office space for lease, a property for lease, or land for lease, a roadside wooden sign mounted to wooden posts will help potential tenants find you faster.
• Mesh banner hung between posts - Mesh banners make great for lease signage. Vinyl mesh is porous material which allows for wind to pass through. Mesh banner material is ideal for hanging between posts, trees or over a road between poles. It also works well attaching to chain link fence. You can rest assured that your banner will not be blown away as long as it is rigged securely. Vinyl mesh is also tear resistant.
• Yard signs posted in various locations - Yard signs are an easy way to guide people to your property for lease. You can post yard signs right in front of your property in several creative ways. You can also post yard signs temporarily around the neighborhood of your property to catch the eyes of more traffic on neighboring streets—just make sure to you have the proper permissions before posting temporary signs.

An effective for lease banner or sign is one that clearly states the intent and provides a quick and easy way to contact you. You will attract more potential tenants through your sign if you begin with your target tenant in mind. Understanding your target tenant and creating a persona that embodies the perfect tenant to fit your space will improve your messaging and sign appearance. For lease signs are more effective when they are not too cluttered with text. Keep your design as simple as possible without leaving important details out. Here are a few tips to keep in mind.

1. Keep the design simple - A good for lease sign should attract attention, but you don’t want the design to be so busy that the message is lost. Your sign might shout a little with 2 or 3 colors, but it shouldn’t be screaming. Keep in mind the time-tested basic design principle—K.I.S.S (keep it short & simple).
2. Make your message short - Most likely, people who will see your for lease sign will only have a couple of seconds at most to look at the sign. A big quick statement such as “Office Space For Lease” is sufficient for the subject of the message. You also want to provide a way for potential tenants to contact you. Placing a phone number and website or QR code underneath “for lease” is a recommended practice.
3. Use color—just not too much! - - One of the best ways to draw attention to your for lease sign is to use contrasting colors. Write your message in a white text and place the text over a black background or vice versa. You can also write in shades of blue, green, or red. Using contrasting colors for your text and background will enable passersby to easily see your for lease sign in full sunlight or in shadow. In addition to using contrasting colors, you’ll want to consider the tone (or brightness) of the colors you use for your sign. Most likely, the type of people looking to lease your property are decision makers. Use color that matches the professional nature of the leasing opportunity.
4. Sizing matters - Another element to consider when designing your for lease sign is the height of the letters in your message. People will likely be driving by your sign which means that the distance from their eyes to your sign will be at least 10-20 feet away. Don’t make your text so small that they can’t be read easily from a distance. Use this rule: letters should be at least 1 inch in height for every 10 feet of desired viewing distance. Make your text proportional to the size of your for lease sign and use a large, clean font.
