Do you guys use any kind of stratigy when putting out your bandit signs ? I know about putting them in the areas where your buyers buy. I was reading another thread and there are wholesalers putting out bandit signs in areas that appeal to THEM,not nesscesarly they buyers ((guess a good deal is a good deal no matter where it is)). What makes an area good for bandit signs? What makes an area bad for bandit signs? (marketing for motivated sellers).

Thanks again BP

Thanks Jane, hey exactly WHERE would you put them? In the neighborhood you were marketing? At the local wal-mart entrances? ALL OF THE ABOVE? lol.

Is there a place where I can put my bandit signs, and they have a longer life/stay up longer??? Whats been successful for you?

Thanks guys

Heak yeah!! Thats what I'm talking about Johnny....great info, thanks for the input.

Thats hard to top, any other ideas? strategies?

Hey Kenneth,

My team and do a lot of bandit signs too, but not nearly as many as Jane or Johnny - we do about 40 in a weekend. We also put them out around midnight on Friday's.

We target major intersections (every corner) and shopping areas. In the shopping areas, you can usually find bushes to stick the sign in so that people exiting the shopping center see it when they leave but it's not so noticeable that they get taken down too fast. We've had a few signs in certain neighborhoods where we did the same thing and they would last for over a month.

A few investors in our area take pride in searching out the best bandit sign spots where they are hidden well enough to be seen but not taken down.

Good luck!!

Awesome!!secret bandit sign spot......thats one to remember, Thanks Dani
:cool: :idea: thanks

Johnny- 5-15 calls per signs X 100 signs = $$$$$$$$$$ :mrgreen: Would you do that every weekend? Any probs with city?

How about you Dani.....how many calls per sign would you say apprx?

Thanks again Dain.

That's crazy.
It's the other way around for me. I could put up 5 we buy houses signs and be lucky to get 1 call all weekend.

If I put up 5 signs that say " Cheap Shell or House 10k"
My phone rings off the hook.

Hey Terry, I'm with you - my buyer signs where I am advertising a house get TONS of calls, I can't even keep up. But my seller signs (We Buy Houses) get about a 1% return - so 10 signs, maybe 1 call.

Joe, My buyer signs vary, I tested different variations but what has worked best is:

___ bedroom ____ bath (fill in the blanks)
Owner Will Finance
No Banks Needed
512-xxx-xxxx (phone number)

Also, hand written signs (black marker on yellow sign) have consistently gotten a better response than pre-printed signs.

I have a question about bandit signs...is there an ordinance saying you can only have them in certain areas or times? I think they prohibit them here in Dallas.

And in case you were wondering, two great places to get those signs at a good price are banditsigns.com and dirtcheapsigns.com. Also, check local plastic companies in your area. You might be able to get a deal there, and you won't have to pay shipping, which can be painful with large orders (signs are heavy in bulk.) I'm sure there are other great places to get them as well, but those are two of the best that I have found.
