In 2004, the home ownership rate in the United States was a 69.4%, the highest from 1997 to 2019. In 2019, the home ownership rate fell to 64.2%. As home prices increase, more people are looking to rent rather than buy homes. With more would-be renters on the prowl, property management advertising is more important than ever to rise above the competition. Roadside advertisements with advertising flags, custom flags, custom banners, and other signage solutions are an excellent way to build excitement for open houses and advertise apartments for rent to thousands of people every day.
Exterior Signage
Exterior signage is an important part of any advertising, especially for on-site promotions. In a recent study on business signage, 75% of respondents stated that one of the first things they notice about a new or unfamiliar business is the signage outside the building. For property management, unique and upbeat advertising outside of apartment buildings can instill excitement and curiosity in prospective renters.
Feather Flags
Feather Flags are a common tool for advertising, often seen in front of roadside businesses. They are tall advertising flags that consistently stay open, regardless of wind speed. Their size and unique shape easily draws the attention of passersby. With our custom design tool, you can design your flag so best fits your needs. Using one or two Feather Flags is a great way to display information like open houses, available rentals, and more. However, a common approach is using many Feather Flags in a row to create a strong, attention-getting visual while simultaneously displaying information.
For those looking for big-impact branding, allow us to introduce the Vertical Flag and the Swooper Flag. Available in 13 ft. or 17 ft. heights, these flags large advertising flags are big and bold. Both of these flags rely on gentle wind to unfurl, and produce eye-catching movements as they flutter in the wind.
Vertical Flags
The Vertical flag is a tall rectangular shape with a lot of space to add your custom message or graphics. Perfect for messages like “FOR RENT”, “OPEN HOUSE”, or any message you want to convey. Their sheer size and eye-catching movements when the wind blows make Vertical flags an excellent outdoor signage option.
Swooper Flags
The Swooper Flag is the true attention-getter of all the flags. In addition to its immense height, three metallic streamers are attached to the top of the flagpole, producing even more eye-catching movements when the wind blows. Swooper Flags are great for displaying messages or simply creating a visual with no message, like in the picture below.
Custom Banners
Custom Banners are a versatile signage solution that are suitable for outdoor use. Available in 16 unique sizes, there is a Custom Banner for any situation. Custom Banners are a great way to prominently advertise apartments for rent, contact information, and more.
