Purpose
Vehicle signage has two purposes. The first is branding.
When you arrive at an appointment in a vehicle that has your
business information on it, it reinforces your corporate
identity. It should correlate with your business cards,
brochures, website, etc. This helps legitimize your business in
the eyes of your customer – it completes your professional image
for them.
The second purpose for vehicle signage is advertising.
Advertising is all about reaching as many people as possible as
many times as possible. The book Guerilla Marketing helps
explain this. It says,
“Research shows that the average American sees mare than 30,000
ads per year. On average, only one out of nine well-designed ads
is ever seen by the targeted customer. We also know that an ad
needs to be seen at least three times before it makes enough
impact to spur action. Quick calculation: You need to put your
ad in front of your target customer twenty-seven times before it
makes a difference.”
Twenty-seven times!? How do you do that? You could send out 27
direct mail campaigns. You could advertise in the paper or on
the radio 27 times. But at anywhere from $100-$1000 an
impression, that ads up to thousands of dollars very quickly.
So instead, consider the use of vehicle graphics.
More Bang for your Buck
Vehicle graphics are going to cost around $80 for a set of basic
magnets to a few thousand dollars for a full color wrap. If
you’re like many business people that drive all day, and many
days you feel like you spent the whole day in your car, your
vehicle graphics have just paid for your advertising in
impressions after a very short time. But the graphics are there
every day for years afterwards. This makes the value per dollar
for vehicular advertising astounding! And that is why there are
more and more vehicle graphics around you.
Options
There are several different options for vehicle graphics
depending on your budget and goals. If you use your personal
vehicle for work, magnetics may be a good choice for you. They
are made to go on any metallic surface, usually doors and rear of your vehicle. You can
put your logo on for branding purposes and add a slogan and your
contact information for advertising. A nice thing about magnetics is that you can leave them on when you are driving for
work, but when the car is your own on the weekends they slip
right off. If you take care of them, they will last for years.
The next step up is vinyl lettering. This can be subtle door
lettering or logos that wrap around the entire vehicle. This
option is great if you want to advertise around the clock.
Larger graphics allow you to grab more attention. The most
dramatic option is the full color vehicle wrap. These are
similar to what you see on large trucks or many work vans. The entire
vehicle is covered with full color vinyl, including the windows.
These are a big attention getter! Many people who choose this
option like to park their vehicles at events with large crowds
to use as a traveling billboard – without paying billboard
pricing!
Whichever method you choose, you want the message to be simple
and to the point. Use your logo, your contact information and as
few words as possible to get your message across. Remember that
people only have a few seconds to read your message while
details can be read when parked.
