What a campaign should order first
Start with yard signs, because they show up on the streets where voters live. The 100 Sign Marketing Kit is $1,154.99 for 100 double-sided 12" x 18" coroplast yard signs, 100 wire H-stakes, 250 double-sided 3.5" x 8.5" door hangers and 100 16pt business cards, and everything in it ships together. The signs are double-sided, so they read from both directions of traffic. The kit is produced in 5 to 7 business days after you approve the proof, printed in the USA, and shipped to any US address.
The kit also carries door hangers and business cards, so your first canvass weekend is covered. Custom Bumper Stickers for supporters are priced by quote.
Then add one banner for your headquarters or first event. A 6' × 3' 13oz Standard Custom Printed Banner is $133. Banners are produced in 3 business days after proof approval.
Yard sign kits: 100, 200 and 500 signs
Each kit ships everything together, with one wire H-stake for every sign. The 200 Sign Marketing Kit is $2,059.99 for 200 double-sided 12" x 18" coroplast yard signs, 200 wire H-stakes, 250 double-sided 3.5" x 8.5" door hangers and 250 16pt business cards, and everything in it ships together.
The 500 Sign Marketing Kit is $4,779.99 for 500 double-sided 12" x 18" coroplast yard signs, 500 wire H-stakes, 500 double-sided 3.5" x 8.5" door hangers and 500 16pt business cards, and everything in it ships together. All three kits use double-sided 12" x 18" coroplast signs and are produced in 5 to 7 business days after proof approval.
Need a few larger signs for busy corners or the headquarters lawn? An 18" x 24" 4mm Coroplast Standard Yard Sign is $64.99. Single yard signs get next day production after proof approval. For stakes in the same box, order a Sign + Stake Pack. A 10-sign 18" x 24" double-sided 4mm Coroplast Standard Sign + Stake Pack is $174.99, which is about $17.50 a sign.
How many signs to order
Build the count from your own lists, not a formula. Count the supporters who have agreed to host a sign, add the intersections and routes you plan to cover where signs are allowed, and keep spares for signs that blow over or go missing.
Order a first kit early, then add another as your supporter list grows. A reorder from your account uses the same artwork, so late race signs match the first ones.
What to put on a campaign sign
A driver gets a few seconds. Put the candidate's name largest, then the office, then one short line such as the election date or Vote. Use two or three strong colors with high contrast so the name reads from the street.
Leave room for your paid for by line. Federal races follow FEC rules and state and local races follow state rules, so ask your election office or campaign counsel for the exact wording. You supply the wording, and it appears on your proof before anything prints.
Canvassing and mail
Door hangers stay on the door when no one answers. 250 3.5x8.5 UV Gloss Cover Stock door hangers are $246.09, which is about $0.98 a door hanger. Put your name, photo, three short points and the election date on them.
Postcards reach voters by mail and flyers go in a volunteer's hand at events. 250 4x6 Standard 16pt Gloss postcards are $106.99, which is about $0.43 a postcard. 100 4x6 Standard 16pt Gloss flyers are $74.89, which is about $0.75 a flyer. Postcards and flyers are produced in 48 hours after proof approval.
Rallies, debates and events
A banner behind the candidate makes every photo carry the name. A step and repeat backdrop gives supporters and press a place to take pictures. A 10' W x 8' H Step and Repeat Backdrop with graphic and frame is $534.99. It gets next day production after proof approval.
A podium wrap puts the name in front of the speaker. A Podium Wrap is $269.99. A canopy tent covers outdoor events and festivals. A 10x10 Event Tent with canopy graphic and frame is $973.69. Canopy tent orders include the artwork design.
Volunteers on the move
Matching shirts make volunteers easy to spot at the door and at events. One direct-to-garment printed Custom T-Shirt is $42.79 in sizes S to 3XL. T-shirts take 1 to 5 days.
A car magnet turns every volunteer's commute into a moving sign and comes off with no damage to the vehicle after election day. A 24" x 12" 30 mil Magnetic Vinyl Vehicle Magnet is $74.89.
Proof, artwork, timing and shipping
You get a free proof with every order. We email the digital proof after you place your order, and nothing prints until you approve it. Check the spelling of the name, the office, the date and your paid for by line on the proof.
Production times count from proof approval, and ground shipping adds transit time. Plan backward from the first day signs are allowed in your area. Everything is printed in the USA, and shipping is $10 for each different product on an order, to any US address.
