We have all seen carwash fundraisers where kids stand on the corner with big poster board signs that say carwash and they are trying to attract cars into the parking lot to get in line to get washed so their nonprofit group can make lots of money.
Sometimes this works very well, but it is also important not to let the kids stand in the street because that can be dangerous and one of the parents will get totally upset.
Worse off if a kid gets hit by a car, will we all know the problems with that and the lawsuits it can cause.
Car wash fundraiser signage strategies are very important to attract customers off the street to get a carwash.
There is a right way in a wrong way to do it and common sense will dictate the right way.
Unfortunately we are dealing usually with teenagers and teenagers sometimes do not use much common sense.
Because poster board signs are hard to read from a traveling car it makes sense to have gigantic bold letters that say carwash and there will not be very much room for much else besides that lettering.
Many groups wish to put the name of their group also on the sign, but all this does is make the writing smaller so no one can see what it says.
When designing carwash fundraiser signage, please take this into consideration so you can make more money for your nonprofit group.
