Get a Laugh, Get Remembered

The Power of Humorous Signage

Marketing doesn’t always have to be serious to be effective. In fact, sometimes the best way to grab attention isn’t with a big promotion or fancy design, it’s with a laugh. That’s where humorous signage comes in.

Think about it,  people see dozens of signs every day. But a sign that makes you chuckle? That sticks. Humor has a way of breaking through the noise, creating an emotional connection, and making your brand more memorable.

When someone smiles or laughs at your sign, they’re not just entertained—they’re engaged. They’ll often tell friends about it, take a picture, or share it online. That’s free word-of-mouth marketing just for being clever.

Humorous Signs

• For a restaurant: “Soup of the Day: Coffee”

• For a shop: “Open 7 Days… Most Weeks”

• For a repair service: “We Fix What Your Husband Tried to Repair”

• Seasonal humor: “New Year, Same Great Deals (and Same Parking Lot Potholes)”

  
  

These little twists on everyday messages show personality and personality sells.

At the end of the day, marketing is about being remembered. A funny sign can turn a quick glance into a lasting impression and sometimes, into a new customer walking through your door.

 Keep it simple.

  Know your audience. 

  Stay positive.

  Mix it up.
