We recommend all our school board candidates to complete the Ballotpedia Connect Survey to have an advantage by being in the pushed to the top of search engines.    Ballotpedia is America’s most trusted source of unbiased information on politics, elections, and policy. By submit information for your Ballotpedia profile you will see results.  The questionnaire can take between 30 and 90 minutes to complete, but well worth the time in the end.

Before you file your paperwork for candidacy we urge you to first create your logo for your branding ID that will carry throughout your campaign and ultimately used on your signs.  The logo will determine your colors, font, slogan, etc.

Signs are something you will not need in the beginning.  However, when the time does come- don't make rooky mistakes.

• Remember: signs do not win elections! Your supporters love signs but nothing sways a vote like getting out there face to face with constituents.
• Just in case you missed this point above. Signs do not win elections! Nothing sways a vote like getting out there face to face with constituents.
• Ad's will pull you in at the lowest price with 12 x 18 pricing.   The smallest yard sign you want to go with is a 18 X 24.
• School board campaigns are ran on shoestring budgets. You need to spend wisely.  Don't overspend on signs.
• There is nothing worse than a hard to read- ugly sign.  If you are going to invest the money on signs- be sure they are professional in appearance and easy to read with your last name the most dominate text.
• Signs on the Cheap is a company we recommend for a professional but yet affordable option.
