Yardsigns

The yardsigns are in! Picked them up from the factory yesterday afternoon. To save money I used the stock blue instead of the exact shade of Forsythe Blue from my family tartan. It's pretty close. I wasn't going to spend a lot of extra money for a custom color. We've made this campaign about fiscal responsibility. The yardsigns are no different. I was told "you have to use this printer" or "you have to go through this company." All phrases that immediately make me think "extra expense." I found an online company that undersold its competitors by almost .50 cents a sign. That saved the campaign close to $500 on yardsigns alone. The funny part is they all get printed at the same factory. Gill Studios in south Johnson County. I learned a lot about yardsigns. It was interesting to see the factory in action. The people there were very nice. They are proud of their work, and they should be. As you can see from the picture, they do good work! One thing I learned about yardsigns that I wish I hadn't. Freshly printed signs stink something fierce! Thank goodness it was warm yesterday because I had to drive all the way home with the windows down. If you haven't signed up to host a yardsign, please do so soon. I'm not going to clutter people's yards during the Christmas season, but look for Forsythe Blue popping up all over the 4th district sometime in January.
