We've all seen them, and we can't avoid them: sign wavers. They stand on street corners all over the nation spinning, twirling, and in all other ways waving their signs around to try to get your business.How effective are they? I don't know, but they haven't convinced me to shop anywhere, and if anything have deterred me.
I don't know that there is much job security for a sign waver in these economically hard times we are going through. It seems like they would be so easily replaced by, you know, a pole or something.
That would be a hard one to take wouldn't it? You show up to work and your boss lays you off, and when you ask why he doesn't say its downsizing or that you've been doing a bad job, but he just realized he could buy a $5 post to hold up the sign and have the same effect.
...poor sign wavers...

I've always kind of admired the individuals who decided on sign waving as their profession of choice. I don't have that much coordination.
I saw a very wet and grumpy-looking Statue of Liberty today, advertising a tax service. haha.
Not all municipalities allow businesses to just put a 5-foot-pole outside on the streets...
Fort Collins Colorado for example, requires that a sign on the street be attended at all times.
there are professional sign spinning companies that provide this service to companies
