What type of outdoor sign holds up best in windy areas?

We're thinking about replacing our outdoor signage, but our location gets a lot of wind and bad weather throughout the year.

We previously used a banner, but it didn't last very long and started showing wear sooner than expected.

I've been looking at different options on sites like Signs, including mesh banners and rigid signs, but it's hard to know what actually lasts in real-world conditions.

For anyone who has dealt with this before:

  • What type of outdoor sign has lasted the longest for you?
  • Are mesh banners worth it in windy areas?
  • Is it better to spend more on a rigid sign from the start?

Would love to hear what has worked for your business.

Best way to mark entry points for an outdoor youth camp?

We’re organizing a youth camp in a large open field and trying to figure out the best way to clearly mark the entrance and registration area.

we want something that stands out from a distance so parents and kids can easily find the check-in point without confusion, especially when people are arriving at the same time.

feather flags keep coming up as an option since they’re bright and customizable with our logo, which could help make the setup feel more organized and welcoming.

i’ve seen them used at events, fairs, and even car dealerships, so they seem like they might work well outdoors — but i’m not fully sure how practical they are for a volunteer-run setup.

i’ve looked at a few places like Signs, Printful, and Esigns, but still confused about which ones are actually reliable for good quality custom printing.

main thing i’m trying to figure out is:
are feather flags actually quick to install and stable enough for outdoor use, or do they become a hassle when you’re setting everything up with a small team before guests arrive?

would really appreciate any real experience or suggestions

Is brand awareness ads worth it for a cleaning business?

Hi guys, I have a cleaning service company and me and my partner decided to stop paying Yelp. it's just too much for the outcome we were getting. still figuring out whats the best way to use that $400/month, right now we're thinking of splitting it between local SEO and trying some small video ads instead.

we’re working with a freelance SEO specialist and he’s been doing fine the last quarter but for video ads I've been looking at a few options like SteelHouse, Adwave, and inVideo AI since they can run TV ads with no setups.

my issue is basically this, if people see us pop up on their TV once in a while, does that actually keep you top of mind for when they need a cleaner, or does that only really work for other types of businesses? also, how long does it take before you start seeing anything from something like that??
