Every day I’m Spinning

Author: Amanda

Over the past six months I’m sure you’ve noticed the guys that stand on the corner and spin arrow signs. They flip them up and down, spin them around and every once in a while hold them still so you can read what it says. Before I had actually seen them, I had been making a few arrow signs, unbeknownst to me their spinning fate. It seems the idea started back in 2002 in Ocean Beach, California, with a few friends who decided to play around with a sign.

The sign itself is coroplast, corrugated plastic, a light weight plastic material that makes it easy to flip, and the corrugated chutes make it durable enough not to break. Sizes range from an arrow width of 3′ and 4′ and a length of 5′ to 6′. While most apartment complexes use this way of advertisement to show off their apartments or rent specials, I think schools and organizations with youth are really underestimating how useful these can be for their groups. It’s a great way to advertise car washes, cookie sales, and other events, plus the kids have something fun to do. And hopefully that ‘something fun’ doesn’t include fighting over whose turn it is to flip the sign in the air.
