Security yard signs deter crime. The national Electronic Security Association (ESA) has studied this issue and the statistics point to the deterrent value of a yard sign.
Several issues make your yard sign more effective. Location matters. Visibility is key. Placing a sign near your front door is more effective than those located farther away from the entrance. Having a sign(s) visible from the street is important.
Branding counts too. Locally known companies, like H&S Protection, experience fewer break-ins than those with national brand signage, according to a Yale University study.
And there is power in community. A University of Chicago study shows that yard signs can indicate security vigilance in a neighborhood, which increases deterrence value.
Yard signs are one of the simplest and most effective parts of your security system. They act as a clear warning to would-be intruders that your property is protected by H&S Protection Systems.
