Yard signage is an effective and easy way for prospects to engage with your agency

• A 2011 survey by Pew

Research indicated that

31% of US adults prefer to

be contacted via text

message vs. phone call.

• Call to Action signage, e.g.,

“Text for More Info…”

offers a low impact way for

prospects to engage w/you.

• For many prospects, text will

be the preferred method of

contact at this stage.

A 2011 Pew Research poll showed “…31% said they preferred texts to talking on the phone, while 53% said they

preferred a voice call to a text message. Another 14% said the contact method they prefer depends on the situation.”
