For farms, berry fields, pumpkin patches and U-Pick locations, the first challenge is often not convincing people to buy. It is getting passing drivers to notice the business, understand what is available and find the correct entrance—all within a few seconds.
Standard rectangular signs can provide information, but custom character cutouts are much more difficult to overlook. A colourful blueberry mascot, smiling strawberry, farmer character or seasonal produce display can attract attention from the road while communicating a practical message.
A well-designed roadside cutout can perform three important jobs:
- Attract the driver’s attention
- Show the product, promotion or current price
- Point customers toward the correct entrance
This combination makes character cutouts especially effective for seasonal businesses located near highways, country roads and rural intersections.
Custom Cutout Ideas for Farms
Every farm and U-Pick business is different, so each display can be designed around the products, season and location. Popular options include:
- Berry mascots holding directional arrows
- Strawberry, blueberry or raspberry promotion signs
- Farmer characters marking the main entrance
- Pumpkin and corn displays for fall attractions
- Apple, flower or vegetable characters
- Price signs incorporated into custom-shaped cutouts
- “Open Today,” “Turn Here” and “U-Pick” entrance signs
- Photo-op characters for families and children
- Branded mascots featuring the farm’s colours and logo
The character, promotional message and directional arrow can all be combined into one custom-shaped sign. This gives passing drivers the information they need without requiring them to read several separate signs.
More Visible Than an Ordinary Rectangular Sign
People naturally notice faces, characters and unusual shapes. A large colourful mascot positioned beside the road can stand out from surrounding vegetation, fencing and conventional roadside advertising.
The message should remain simple and easy to understand. Large lettering, strong colour contrast, a clearly visible product and a bold directional arrow usually work better than a sign containing too much small text.
For example, a blueberry character can hold an arrow displaying the current price, while a strawberry mascot can announce “Fresh Berries — Open Today.” A farmer character can identify the main entrance, and seasonal pumpkin or corn cutouts can help promote a fall event.
Designed for Seasonal and Repeat Use
Roadside character cutouts can be produced from lightweight Coroplast or more durable aluminum composite material, depending on the required size, installation method and expected period of use.
Coroplast is an economical choice for seasonal advertising. It is lightweight, weather-resistant and easy to move or store after the season. Aluminum composite material is stronger and better suited to displays intended for repeated or longer-term outdoor use.
Protective lamination may also be added to improve resistance to UV exposure, moisture, dirt and handling.
Displays can be supplied in custom shapes and sizes with suitable mounting options, including:
- Ground stakes
- Wooden or metal posts
- Freestanding supports
- Fence or wall mounting holes
- Custom mounting slots
- Reinforced outdoor bases
We can recommend the most practical material and support system after reviewing the size, location and intended use of the display.
