ABSTRACT

Lawn sign placement and maintenance is a great campaign activity for those who want to volunteer in a campaign but are not interested in working directly with the public. The campaign should endeavor to secure as many locations for the lawn sign installation day. After the initial installation, lawn signs should be placed as voters request them or permission is secured during canvassing. Lawn signs are basically a campaign's logo and, like trademarks, must easily identify cause or candidate. There are basically two types of lawn signs: a plastic sleeve that is placed over a croquet-type wicket and corrugated. Often people who have run for office in previous elections will have a record of their lawn sign locations. Somewhere in the midst of finding locations and cutting turf, lawn signs must be assembled or at least organized. The campaign should include a door hanger for each of the locations where a lawn sign is installed.
