I'm getting a lot more door step honey sales these days

And I want something at the front of the house to kinda say a Beekeeper lives here. To make house finding easier really.

Does others do anything similar and if you do, what do you use, do you think it works or not

Or can anyone suggest an idea?

Depending on where you live i would be careful about advertising that you have hives in your garden..if you know your hives are safe from theft you could stick a simple HONEY FOR SALE sign up at the end of your garden path.

I would prefer to not have people knocking at the door so if I get calls, I tend to direct people to the nearby shops that sell my honey. It's not uncommon for people to respond saying that they go into this or that shop and didn't realize they they sold honey.

I place one of these outside our gate

and tell all my customers that No Sign = No honey
It works.

In the season I am swamped.

(nothing better than a good looking sign . Nothing worse than a tatty one)

Something like this would grab their attention.

I have a honey for sale board with details at the bottom of my drive and a WBC at the top behind the gate. Works well most of the year apart from the odd guard bees during a hive crisis that can chase you during the summer :)
