Sandwich board ideas for local businesses

A sandwich board works best when the message is simple and the sign is placed where people naturally walk or make decisions.

Message ideas

Use sandwich boards for daily specials, new products, directions, parking prompts, opening hours, walk-ins welcome messages, event wayfinding, and limited-time offers.

Short messages often work better than clever messages because people only glance at pavement signs.

Design ideas

Use strong contrast, large text, simple icons, and one main action. Avoid putting too many menu items, services, or tiny details on one board.
