How to attach a for sale sign on a brick brick building, no place for a post

Title says it all.  I have a brick building for sale, but I have no place to put a sign since it's all brick.  Any suggestions on how to attach the sign to the building?

    Hey Michael, you can use masonry screws to mount it directly onto the brick. Or are you purposely avoiding that for some reason?

       Owner doesn't want me to place screws in the brick or facade.  I was going to use Gorilla Tape, but that may remove the paint.  So, I'm running out of ideas.  The tenant doesn't want the sign in her apt.  Besides, it's too large for her window.  I can put it in one of the vacant apartments above, but you'd not see it from the street.

      Oh I see, I thought you were the owner. Ok there are many different types of adhesives out there. I'm sure you can find something temporary that you can stick the sign to, but you'll likely be responsible for removing the glue/tape once the sale is done. Hard to say unless I saw the place/layout. My advice, look for a temporary adhesive at a hardware store/online and try it out. Be well!

    Also maybe look for something metal and see if magnets might work.

     Can you put it in the window?  Can you put it on a sandwich board type frame?  Can you print a sign on vinyl and rope it to the building?  I also see 4x4 Self Standing Post Free standing - 3 sand bags.  So kind of wood frame with upside down shaped T legs?  Lots of options.
