Lawn Greetings Industry Helps Customers Celebrate

The lawn greetings industry is defined as a small business which helps their customers celebrate various occasions and events by renting displays that are set up in a recipient’s yard. The displays normally consist of large character signs and small “critter” signs, as they are referred to in the industry, and a message board which announces to the whole neighborhood your celebration. The most popular displays are the plastic pink flamingos, however there is a variety to choose from which ­include plastic cows, pigs, ­chickens, hearts, graduation signs, smiley faces, or over the hill themes. Also included in the industry are the traditional Stork signs.

The LGA officially declares the month of April as National Lawn Greetings Month. Other notable dates are: the second week of May is “Send a Smile Week.” And ­finally, June 23 is officially ­declared “Pink Flamingo Day.” For more information, call Fun Sign Surprise at (813) 777-7185.
