Making your awareness poster work

Charities, councils, schools and health services use awareness posters to change one small behaviour, such as turning off a tap, washing hands or checking on a neighbour. The best ones state the issue in a single line and give one action people can take today.

What to write on it

  • A short headline that names the issue or the hoped-for action.
  • One fact or practical step, such as saving eight gallons a day.
  • Where to learn more, and the organisation behind the campaign.

One tip

Hang it where the behaviour happens: a water-saving poster above the sink works better than one in the lobby. Change the poster every few months, because people stop noticing a sign they pass daily.
