Three Ways To Anchor Your Feather Flag
Once you pick up your new feather flag that you'll be mounting outside of your cash loan business, you want to ensure that it stays up throughout the workday. This important advertising tool has little value to you if it has toppled over in the wind. Fortunately, there are a number of ways that you can anchor your new cash loans feather flag so that motorists and pedestrians who are passing by will see it and hopefully choose to enter your cash loan business. Here are three techniques that you can consider using.
Weigh Down The Base
If you've bought a folding base for the feather flag, much like the three-footed base that a tripod uses, you can position the flag wherever you want it. However, the lightweight nature of this type of base means that the flag could fall over in a gust of wind, so you'll definitely want to weigh it down. Buy a couple of sandbags from a local garden supply store and drape them over the feet of the base. The sand will provide a significant amount of weight to help keep the feet in place and your feather flag standing up proudly.
Use A Weighted Base
Another option — and one that can be less labor intensive — is to simply buy a weighted base for your feather flag. Weighted bases come in different styles, but share the common trait of being a large bin to which you can add weight. Some people fill their weighted bases with sand, but if this isn't convenient for you, you can fill it with water instead. You can usually fit several pounds' worth of water into the base until it's heavy enough that it's difficult to move. With the feather flag attached to the base, it won't blow over.
Drive It Into The Ground
The two above methods are optimal if you're mounting your feather flag on a hard surface such as the sidewalk or driveway in front of your cash loan business. If there's a patch of grass nearby — perhaps between your parking lot and the road, for example — you might wish to drive the flagpole into the ground. It's ideal if you buy a spiked flagpole to make this job easier. Depending on how soft the ground is, you might be able to push the pole in with your hands. Or, you may need to get up on a ladder and hammer the pole into the ground.
