The Best Signage for Finding New Tenants for Your Rental Property

The right tenants can be the difference between turning a profit or taking a loss on your rental property. While screening is definitely the most important part of finding good tenants, establishing a deep pool of prospective tenants gives you the best chance of finding the perfect fit. Luckily, you have several types of signage at your disposal to make your tenant search as painless as possible. Below you’ll find our selection and design suggestions for attracting prospective tenants with signage.

If you have a large property, there are several different ways a monument sign can help you. Simply having a monument sign increases your profile and makes it easier for prospective tenants to identify your property. There are also customization options for monument signs in the form of switchable lettering and digital elements. These types of monument signs can be updated to advertise your vacancies in real time.

Yard signs are a great option for properties that don't have a monument sign. Adding yard signs to your property when vacancies come up is a great way to reach out to the locals. They have the flexibility to be used in other applications as well. Yard signs can also be deployed near your building with directions to serve as way finding signage and increase your reach. If you only have a static monument sign, you can use yard signs when necessary to add a custom message about available units.

When designing signage for attracting tenants, it’s best to keep it simple. The number of bedrooms, availability, cost, and contact info are the essentials. Make sure that the sign is legible to any foot and car traffic as well, especially the contact info. It may be tempting to rely on digital postings to advertise your vacancies, but you can miss a large contingent of prospective local tenants that way. Signage lets you connect with people whose lives already intersect with your property, something that online posts just can't do. If you have any questions about how you can improve your search for tenants, please don't hesitate to call your local signage professionals.
