I did bandit signs when I first started in REI and I found that I had the most amount of success when I put them out on Saturday Night (Sunday traffic with church, shopping, etc).... Eventually, I hired people to put them out on Saturdays and Wednesdays... I put out thousands of signs from as far west as Weatherford, as far north as Denton and McKinney, as far east as Rockwall, Forney, and as far south as Waxahachie. Since I work in all of DFW, I needed bandit signs everywhere in DFW.
Honestly, putting them out on Wednesday and Saturdays yielded me many of my initial leads, however, I was initially surprised by how few leads one gets from bandit signs. I was expecting 10-20 leads per week based on how many signs I put out and I got that many calls, but I probably averaged about 1-2 SOLID leads per week having put out HUNDREDS of signs per week...
Hope this helps!
