But house hung and yard sign numbers are too far from the road. Mailbox (MB) numbers are the only viable option to curb numbers for roadside numbers.

Why the switch now to targeting HOAs after 40 years servicing individuals?All trends now make HOA service much better: New areas have cluster MBs so curb numbers are the only option for roadside addressing.They also tend to be gated and secure, preventing soliciting.Individual leads are much more expensive and unreliable, sometimes half being wrong.As many as 85% of individual prospects don't answer to unknown callers.
Is the paint reflective? Reflectivity is only effective when applied on white paint. If glass beads were embedded on the white, the black numbers wouldn't hold.
