2. Humour
Providing information or safety warnings in a humorous way can be effective in both, getting attention and keeping people on the side in the face of disruptive work.

3. Ads on a crane
Taking advantage of the high visibility (to say the least) of cranes, many companies are either promoting their own business on their cranes or leasing the space to paid advertisers - often using lighting to enhance the look.

5. Custom vehicle graphics
The American Trucking Association's study, "The Visual Impact of Trucks in Traffic," revealed that 96% of people notice truck side ads. Eye-catching construction vehicles log a lot of kilometers and attention during deliveries, site visits, and client meetings.

Whether you're addressing concerns, providing protection, advertising businesses, or giving notice, construction sites are a prominent place to the word out. With a little bit of creativity and you can make your signage eye-catching as well as helpful and informative.
