We had a 8x11 sign with 2" high letters in color at eye height for a couple of years when we had small kids that still took naps that listed about 8 activities not wanted and at the bottom that said if you weren't delivering a package GO AWAY.
Still got a couple of knocks/doorbells - though quite a few of those would read the sign while waiting for the door to be answered and walk away very fast.
If your community has laws then the signs can carry force. In the city I grew up in they passed a law that all solicitors had to follow a couple of signs and mailed 2 to every resident in the city. It really cut down since about 50% of the houses had one or the other and the cops would respond most of the time.
