Would it not be cheaper to take a design to a local sign shop and get them to knock one up. Support local business and the like. I had my local shop do one for me a few years back was ready next day and cost about £80 I don't use it anymore but it drummed up a lot of business for me.
Can't see it from my house

these seem like a good idea, i don't advertise apart from online and in horsey publications but today we were unloading a load of security fencing from the road into a house and 2 people stopped and asked for business cards. get photoshop going later and knock one up, do you use home made wooden a boards or the fancy weighted ones?

If you make one be sure to build up the paint layers properly and it will last you.
