When you use your personal vehicle for business, many entrepreneurs shy away from vehicle graphics or wraps. Reasoning that they do not want to show up at the school’s parent night or a funeral with a moving billboard, these business owners leave their cars, trucks, or vans blank and thereby forgo a significant marketing and branding opportunity. You can now enjoy your private use of the auto and advertise your business, too, simply by displaying custom vehicle magnets. What are these products and how do they help you to stand out?

Q: Is it true that vehicle magnets hurt your car’s paint job?

A: No, it is not. Just like your refrigerator magnet, customized business magnets stick to the sides of your car, truck, or van and you can easily remove them. That said, we do not recommend using a magnet on areas where there is chipping paint or rust. Doing so may cause some paint flaking.

Q: How do I store the products when I want my car not to be an advertisement for the business?

A: We recommend keeping a soft blanket in your trunk at all times. When it is time to remove the advertising product temporarily, simply wrap it in the blanket and store it laying flat in the trunk of your car.

Q: What shapes do you recommend?

A: Although geometric shapes are very popular, we are getting more and more orders for contour-cut magnets. For example, a landscaping business might order a primarily rectangular shape with the top being cut to look like grass. For a business that appeals to athletes, consider the display of the local high school football team’s name on a ball-shaped magnet. Remember that the shape should underscore your brand message in some way. Choosing a flower to advertise a roofing company is probably not the best choice – unless your business’ name is directly related to some type of flora.

Q: Can I leave the magnets on while driving through a car wash?

A: No, we recommend taking them off first and storing them in the trunk. By the way, we also suggest removing them when there is a rainstorm.

Q: How do you ensure that the message I want to display remains looking great?

A: We use UV-resistant inks that keep your colors vibrant for years to come. We can add a laminate, too, if you like the idea of double protection.

Q: What should I put on the magnet?

A: The smaller the dimensions of the magnet, the less text you should add. For a larger 12-inch by 24-inch car magnet, we recommend the display of your logo, company name, and phone number. Add a niche explanation if needed. For a real estate professional, remember that you need to brand the office your work out of as well as your individual self as a sales expert.
