Creating effective lost pet posters is one of the most important steps in bringing many lost pets home. These are usually placed at key intersections where they will be noticed by many people. Before using this service, it is important to find out the sign posting laws in your town.
Creation: $20 design fee (this is included as part of the Comprehensive Lost Pet Consultation)
Distribution: $30/hr plus mileage*. This will generally take about 1-2 hours in a suburban setting and can take 3-6 hours in a very rural area.
Examples of different size lost pet posters (from left to right - X-large, large, medium, 2 examples of small)
XX-Large Posters (22″ x 28″) – $10/ea: Best for roads where cars are driving more than 50 mph. Delivery may incur shipping or mileage* fees.
This is an old picture. My current design includes a larger picture and a phone number that is as large as the “Lost Dog” text. I rarely make these posters because I find that the X-Large posters are nearly as effective and stand up to the weather better.
X-Large Posters (14″ x 22″) – $5/ea: Best for roads where cars are driving 50 mph or less. Delivery may incur shipping or mileage* fees.
Large Posters (11″ x 17″) – $3.27/ea (estimated cost to copy and laminate at Staples): Best for roads where cars are traveling 40 mph or less. These can be delivered to a local Staples store for pick-up.
Medium Posters (8.5″ x 14″) – $2.48/ea (estimated cost to copy and laminate at Staples): Best for roads where cars are driving 30 mph or less. These can be delivered to a local Staples store for pick-up.
