A vehicle sign can be in the form of a bumper sticker, magnetic sticker you attach to a door, or an actual wrap or permanent paint job. Many businesses use these types of signs to advertise their company and with good reason. If you're looking for an effective means of getting the word out there about your business, note why a vehicle sign might be the best choice.

1. No restrictions

When you put up a sign outside your retail store, restaurant, or other such establishment, you may be restricted as to its placement, size, color, and so on. This can often mean missing out on potential customers who may not notice your sign as they drive by.

However, with a vehicle wrap you are typically not restricted by its size or placement, as long as it doesn't interfere with your line of vision or ability to control the vehicle. You can add a sign to the top of your vehicle and light it up at night, or use bold graphics on the bumper to get the attention of those behind you. With fewer restrictions, you're sure to be seen by more drivers.

2. Permanent

When you place an ad in the newspaper, pay for a billboard, or have your company name painted on a bus stop bench, you either need to keep paying for these ads or they will go away. With a vehicle sign, you pay for the sign and then use it indefinitely without added costs. There is no monthly maintenance fee and no need to keep resubmitting your information to a newspaper or magazine for advertising space.

This permanency is also one of the reasons why vehicle signage is so affordable. Magnetic signs you put on a door are very inexpensive, as are wraps or permanent signs. Then, in addition to their low cost for design and application, you can use them for years, versus other forms of advertising that you need to keep paying for month after month.

3. Positive impression for services

When someone sees your name on a vehicle in the neighborhood, they may get the impression that their neighbors are using your services. In turn, they may believe that your company is more reliable and preferred over others; if their neighbors are calling for your services, then you must be offering quality. In turn, they may be more likely to choose your company over any other when they're ready to hire the same services for their home.
