Guide to Advertising on Your Business Vehicles

Match up with magnetic signs

Removable magnetic signs let you decide when you want to use your car, truck or van as a marketing tool and when you prefer it to be sign-free. These easy-to-apply signs also let you switch vehicles or share signs with others.

I recommend: Order magnetic signs for as little as $25 each at MagneticSignsOnTime.com.

Explore vinyl lettering

When you want a more permanent solution, try self-adhesive vinyl lettering. These ready-to-apply letters come in several design options and can be applied to vehicles or vehicle windows.

I recommend: View vinyl lettering options as they'll appear on your particular type of vehicle at SpeedySigns.com.

Get better night-time exposure with reflective signs

Don't limit your vehicle advertising to the daylight hours. Make your vehicles visible day or night with reflective lettering.

I recommend: StreetGlo offers reflective fleet graphics and a free design tool.

Shout it from the rooftop

You don't have to be a taxicab to take advantage of signs atop your vehicle. Most restaurant delivery services opt for car toppers because they're magnetic and can be attached to any delivery vehicle.

I recommend: Find a variety of sizes and shapes of roof-top signs at CarSigns.com or at Autosox.com, which also offers antitheft cords to protect your car toppers.

Wrap your entire vehicle

Wrapping vehicles from bumper to bumper in vinyl graphics is one of the most attention-grabbing forms of fleet advertising. It looks like you've painted the entire vehicle in graphics, but the wrap is removable for seasonal campaigns and costs less than painting the vehicle.

I recommend: Bumper2Bumper Media and Custom Auto Wrap provide full-service fleet graphics wrapping.

Tout your business with truck graphics

There's no better way to get regional or national exposure than to equip all of your delivery trucks with advertising to drive your message to consumers.

I recommend: Graphic Concepts is a good choice for small businesses with a single truck because they have no minimum vehicles required. RoadBoardz Truckside Ads has an in-house team that can design your graphics and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee if you aren't satisfied.
