How to Start Your Own Human Billboard and Rotating Sign Service Business

You can start your own business working for yourself as a human billboard or rotating sign holder, either part-time on weekends or full-time. These days, many businesses hire people to stand at busy intersections and corners, holding large signs to entice customers to come in or stop. New home builders, grand openings, pizza parlors, political campaigns, etc. they have been using people as human billboards to advertise them, and the demand continues to grow.

There are even classes on sign turning and sign tricks, which will make people even more aware when there is heavy traffic or pedestrian situations. Someone who will hold a large 6 foot arrow and use it to point things out and then be able to do various tricks with it, could get you many jobs, and who knows, maybe you might even become famous one day?

Instead of working for a company and doing it for them, the hours they tell you to work and pay you could earn more by doing it yourself. You can set up your own business as a human sign spinner or billboard. The more you can do to attract attention to whatever the advertiser wants you to advertise, the more money you can charge them. You can do this part-time or full-time, and do as many hours as you want to work. You could make a flyer, listing the various items you will be making and the prices you charge for your service.

Some companies would be happy to pay someone else who already has their collateral ready. You have to have and own your own big arrow, but you have to make advertisers pay for whatever signs you have to come up with, for your various advertisements. You should have a place that makes banners for you, so you can offer new banners to new advertising clients, so they don’t have to spend time looking for one, and you can also charge them for that service. You could have a fixed price, for new banners for your rotating billboard or human billboard.

If you have quality costumes, like a gorilla or cartoon character, you could charge even more, while wearing it and doing the sign business. The guy standing on the corner in a nice gorilla suit, holding a sign pointing to something, will be noticed by all who pass by! If he can bring all of that to the business owner, ready to go, with a good price for his services, he could do very well in this business himself.
