The Art of Sign Twirling

The Art of Sign Twirling

A new art form, marketing strategy or a major distraction to drivers? Statistics are difficult to find on the web, but I have made notice of the entertaining sign twirlers in our area (Olympia, WA). It is relatively new to us, however, it appears that this marketing dance has been going on for sometime beyond our borders. Google and you will find amateur video of the proud performers, even Elvis was twirling a sign. Check out this gentleman pouring his heart out on the street, perhaps is not quite doing the job of guiding traffic to a particular location, however, he can put a smile on your face.

It seems as though there is a fine line between doing your job properly with just the right amount of enthusiasm and failuring to do the job at all. I probably wouldn't even glance twice at the guy half asleep (or actually sleeping with his sign against his forehead. Seen it!) and one can't even read the sign of the overtly energetic sign twirler. Thus, the job does not get done!

I am most interested in leading the public to Open Houses. As we know, some days have better turn out than others! What are your thoughts on the Open House sign twirler?

If you are going to give the Open House sign twirler a try, I would suggest researching your local laws. As well as, get to know the company you hire from!

Why not twirl your sign with a monkey suit on, I would love to see that!
