What do you guys think about car magnets ad?
I heard some advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages:
-Visible to everyone wherever you drive the car or not
-Cheap (Make it once and it`s for you forever)
-Stick it on your doors whenever you want it
Disadvantages:
-It`s kind of cheesy
-No one is going to call
Do you guys have some more advantages and disadvantages? Please let me know what you think.
By the way, my business is a concierge and errands business for busy people.

Well, personally I think it looks great but at the same time I need to know if there is a benefit of it But you gave me a great input that people might say it`s cheesy all those things if it makes money that`s all the matter right?
Bevel,
Thanks for your 2cents help. It`s great to hear that`s working for you. You have the ideas it all depends where I`m going to advertise it.
Thanks for all you...if you have more suggestions, please type it down freely.
I`ve done my own research on this and let me tell you something... it`s better than spending 400.00 to 500.00 on the Yellow Pages. For sometime, I thought they were cheesy, but let me tell you they work.
$49.99 for a car magnet and I`ve closed a few accounts through them. 2busy? Isn`t that why you want to get them so people can see them? Why get magnets if you don`t want people to see them?
The whole purpose is for people to notice you... I don`t know how traffic is where you guys live but in California a traffic jam means you leave your house at 6:00 a.m to get to work at 8:00 a.m. So just imagine the person driving behind you. By the time they get to work, they remember your company and the URL clearly... They only stared at the back of your car for 2 hours... Go figure..
Edgar`s right. The sole purpose of affixing an advertising magnet to your car is to get people to notice you - and yes, they do work. In fact, from what I`ve been told, they work extremely well. I know several small businessowners who use them, and they all swear by them. As far as them being cheesy, if they`re professionally designed and closely match the color of your vehicle, I don`t think they look cheesy at all.
Would I use one? No, but that`s a matter of personal preference more than anything else.

Great stuff!!...Thank you for the information. That`s the thing, Nuevolution, see I go to my clients house a lot and sometime the neighbor is kind of curious what I`m doing but I don`t have my Ad on the car so that` why now I`m going make one. Also like you said, how many times I am in the traffic lights or in freeway stuck in traffic people trying to kill sometime and if my car magnet is there, they can see it.
DKing, you have a great point. I have to make as profesional as it can be so It does not look cheesy at all. Thanks again
Thank you guys
Great stuff!!...Thank you for the information.
You`re quite welcome. Best of luck!

Magnets are good if you do not have a dedicated business vehicle. The only time you really don`t want to use magnetic signs are in the winter. They can crack. Or water can get behind them and they can freeze and fall off. Also, if you leave them on in the rain, remove them and wipe the magnet and door dry or you can damage your vehicle finish.
As for vehicle graphics, never, ever use anything other than vinyl rated for vehicle wrapping. You are just asking for trouble. The only 3 manufacturers I trust are 3M, Oracal and Avery. If someone says they can save you money with a cheaper vinyl, walk away. You are wasting your money.
Look, no matter what you do for promoting your company, your graphics should fit with the look you want your company. A cheap look is a cheap look. If that is what you want, fine. If it is not, then spend the money to get the look you want.
When I was running an alarm service company in the past, I would actually have people come up to me when I was getting gas or coffee and ask for my business card because they regularly saw my marked truck in the area. I got more than a few jobs as a result.
