Car Signs (Pros/Cons)

[Alan Barnard]

We've seen this discussion before. Here is my personal $0.02 worth of observation, based on personal experience:

1. Unless you work and park in very sleazy areas, quit obsessing about the potential problems of theft, etc., or join the Worrywarts Club.
2. Forget magnetic signs or "in the window" signs. They look cheap, they are cheap, they say "CHEAP".
3. If it is primarily your business vehicle, go to a quality sign shop and and have professional vinyl lettering on both sides and the back. It looks good, it's kinda cheap (maybe $2-300), and it says "DEDICATED, FULL-TIME PROFESSIONAL". You will FEEL more professional, just having it. People will compliment the look. People will call you.
4. It will bring you business and pay for itself almost immediately.

I do business from a small pick-up (Ford Ranger); the tailgate is great ad space. I have gotten phone calls from people who tell me they are right behind me on the highway or at a traffic signal, etc.

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
