FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

_
What is a yard sign?
A lawn sign is a 4 or 7 foot sign that is placed in the yard to announce the birth of a new baby.

How does it work?
Customers will call you when their new baby or other occasion arrives/approaches. You simply personalize the keepsake with the baby's birth info or special message . You deliver and set up the sign in their yard. A few days later you pick the sign back up. The customer gets to keep the personalized keepsake.

How do I personalize the plaques?
We discuss many simple techniques in our 'How To' manual. You don't need to be crafty or artistic. Our manual discusses hand lettering as well as alternative methods for simple, professional looking text.

What are the signs made of?
Our signs are made from a sturdy high grade plastic material. Since they are not wood, they will not splinter, rot or wear and will outlast wood by many years.

What skills do I need?
The only skills you need to have is a desire to make money from home and the ability to make sign deliveries.

Do I need a special oversized vehicle?
No. Our signs come apart and can be transported in most vehicles.

Are the signs hard to set up?
No. Our signs are easy to set up and take down. Our business packages explain how to do so and what tools and equipment are needed.

How much money can I make?
You can make as little or as much as you would like. You choose how many storks you would like to rent each month. The casual renter may be happy doing minimal marketing and renting 6-10 storks a month. Others may want to market themselves more and make stork-renting a full time income. You choose when you want to make your deliveries and what fits best with your lifestyle. We do not guarantee a specific number of rentals, but many stork rental business owners average 10-30 rentals a month. How much money you make will be based on your population, the number of storks you have in your inventory, your prices, any other items you may offer/sell, how you market yourself etc..

Are there any hidden fees?
No. There are no hidden fees. We are up front about the prices of our business packages. Since we are NOT a franchise, there are NO franchise fees or commissions to pay. Your profits are yours to keep.

Can't I start my own sign rental business without a business package?
Yes, you can start your own sign rental business on your own. You will need to be prepared to dedicated a lot of time and money into your business before you will start to get rentals and make a profit. We are not only offering our custom-designed finished signs, but we are also providing you with our years of sign rental knowledge. We have already tested all aspects of the sign rental business and we know what works and what doesn't work. As with any business, there are mistakes to be made - don't make the same mistakes we've already done in the past. We take the guesswork out of renting signs. When all is said and done you may end up spending more money and time to start from scratch then those who purchase a Stork's Nest business package.

Can my signs get stolen?
Most thieves are looking for a quick prank and would not want to take the time to try to remove the sign. We are not responsible for any damage or theft to your signs, but sign theft is not a common practice.

Are there ways to expand my business?
You are always welcome to add to your business in any way you would like. Many business partners like to offer personalized candy bars or other baby related items.

What if there is already a sign rental business in my area?
Don't be scared or intimidated by competition. There are plenty of new babies and proud parents for multiple sign rental businesses in the same town. If a sign rental already exists in your area, then they have already done some of the groundwork of getting the ideas of signs out to the public. Competition can be a positive asset to your business.
