I am thinking that local parades are a good advertising venue.

I am thinking of doing one in August. Especially for the rustic cedar cabin/house sign crowd.

A simple truck bed/pull behind trailer with hanging signs?

I am trying to think of an option to get them in the door handing out business cards. Like "free simple graphic" or something.

What do you all think?

My wife and I have made up flyers and postcard style advertising. But we still get most of our business through the Internet using a free classifieds web site called kijiji. Not sure if you haver it in the states but it works very well for us.
What kind of signs are you making? We sell a lot of cedar signs just like Eric Erickson makes. Although we are now starting to get some interest for some commercial signs:eek: (makes me nervous)

Actually my biggest seller is custom solid wood cedar lined chests. But being up here in Minnesnowta the land of 10k lakes. I can see a huge area for those like Eric makes.

Also living in a rural part with a lot of farms and such, those cedar signs look to be the ticket.
