Car Signs (Pros/Cons)

[Annie Grieshop]

Newpaper ads and phone book entries are nice, but a mobile ad catches eyes
everywhere you drive it!  I got a call yesterday afternoon from a woman who
saw my truck sitting in a parking lot while I was getting some lunch.

The signage cost me under $100 and has paid for itself many times over.  In
my case, I went with permanent lettering on the side windows of the extended
cab and on the back window of the truck topper (which, unfortunately, got
broken during an act of kindness a couple weeks ago -- my beautiful sign,
all gone!).

I'm also convinced that new customers are more likely to call me once
they've seen my truck parked at a neighbor's house.  I have absolutely no
hard data to back that up, but I know it's a factor when I need to call
someone for services.

Population size undoubtedly plays a role in all this, too, as most of my
work is in a very small city.  Your results may vary....

  Greetings list,

  I have been shopping around for a magnetic sign to place on each side of
my car.  What has been your experiences with this method?  I prefer magnetic
so I can take it off when my car is sitting for a period of time so no one
will see that I have tools to steal.  But then, if I got into an accident,
would having the sign be more liability for me?  Or am I just worrying too
much.

  I also would like to know if your business has increased because of the
signs.


  Thank you,
  Matthew
