Ways to Reuse

Repurpose Your Sign

Consider saving your campaign sign for future use. You could attach a new message to the board and use it to promote a special event, or a local school or nonprofit organization may be able to use the sign, too.

Save the Stand for Next Year

If you don’t want to save your entire campaign sign, you can save the wire stands to use with future signs.
