Your best sign spots are in one person's head.
The corner that always pulls calls. The entrance the HOA said yes to. The stretch of road where yours outlasts everyone else's. None of it is written down, and it walks out of the building the day that person does.
Three ways a good spot disappears
You hand someone a stack of signs and they are left to figure it out, so the signs end up wherever they guessed. The person who knew the good corners quits, and the next one starts from nothing. Or you notice a spot from the driver's seat on a Tuesday, mean to remember it, and by Thursday it is gone. None of these is a people problem. It is that nothing on the job writes anything down.
Mark it once. It is there for whoever goes next.
Drop a pin the moment you see the spot — from the truck, from the job, from the sofa. It stays on the map with your notes on it. When it is time for another round, the spots become a route, and whoever drives it does not need to be told anything or to have worked there for five years.
What changes when the spots are written down
A new hire is useful on day one
They do not need the tour, the stories, or the person who knew. They open the route and drive it. Everything the last person learned is already on it.
The second round takes minutes to plan
Most sign campaigns are not one-offs — there is a spring round, a storm round, a season. Planning the first one is work. Planning the next one should be picking the spots that worked and sending it again.
You stop losing the spot you noticed
The thought that a corner would be perfect is worth nothing thirty seconds later. Pinning it takes about as long as having the thought.
You find out which spots are actually working
A spot you have used four times and a spot you used once look identical in memory. On a map with placements against them, they do not.
Nobody argues about whether it got done
Every placement comes back with a location and a photo, so the question of whether the round happened has an answer rather than an opinion.
How it works
Pin the spots
Add them whenever you see them, or sit down once and mark the ones you already know. Notes stay with the pin — which side of the road, who gave permission, when it needs to come down.
Turn them into a route
Pick the spots for this round and FlyerFly orders them into a drive. Nobody has to plan it on the morning, and nobody has to know the area.
Send it to whoever is going
Your own crew, or someone you recruit with a share link. They follow it on their phone, place the signs, and photograph each one.
Keep what worked
The spots stay. Next round starts from them instead of from scratch.
What counts as a spot worth saving?
Anywhere you would be glad to have a sign again — a customer's yard that said yes, a junction where traffic actually stops, a business that lets you put one by the door, an HOA entrance you got approval for. The test is whether you would want it back next season.
Can I add a spot without being there?
Yes. Pin it on the map from anywhere. The useful habit is pinning it the moment you think of it, because that is the moment you still know where it was.
What happens when the person who placed them leaves?
Nothing, which is the point. The spots belong to the account rather than to whoever was driving. The next person opens the same route.
Does this work for door hangers too?
The route side does. Door hangers are a zone rather than a pin — you draw the area you want covered and the route follows it — but the proof and the repeatability work the same way.
Do I have to use your drivers?
No. Assign someone you already trust and they get the route on their phone. If you do not have anyone, share the recruit link and find someone local. FlyerFly does not employ or supply the person either way.
What about my competitors' signs?
You can mark those too. Knowing which corners your competition keeps coming back to is its own kind of map, and it is usually the fastest way to find the spots worth having.
