Nothing in politics is more effective than yard signs!
A yard sign is inexpensive and the best known form of political advertising, but Obama charges up to $8.00 per sign. Link to Obama sale of yard signs.
When a yard sign is displayed it speaks 24/7! Everyone who sees the sign knows where you stand and if they know you they will feel its OK to support the same candidate you support. That is why I CANNOT BELIEVE Obama is charging for yard signs.
Obama should be giving out as many yard signs as possible for free (in bulk they likely cost his campaign less than 25 cents a piece)! I would populate my neighborhood with signs if they were free, but at the going price I am limited.
Obama has more money than any other candidate in history. That is why his decision to sell yard signs is so confusing. Others, in my experience, have given away yard signs for free. A 30 second ad is never as effective as a yard sign -- I don't care what anyone may say. How many signs can be given away for the price of one 30 second ad?
Therefore, I ask is it a mistake to not give away yard signs for free?
Please share your thoughts and if you have any influence arrange for the signs to be free so I can populate my neighborhood with them and many others can do the same.
