Car magnets can turn your business vehicles, errand cars, and delivery trucks into mobile advertisements that share important information about your company. When designed well, these vehicle signs communicate your company’s message, elicit an immediate response, and help you generate more customer leads.
Whether your customers are in the market for plumbing services, medical equipment, a coffee shop, or an instrument distributor, the right car magnet can draw attention and leave a lasting impression. And, unlike more expensive forms of advertising such as television or radio commercials, car magnets are an affordable way to promote your small business while also saving you money that can be put toward other marketing initiatives.
When properly maintained, car magnets can last up to three years. However, if you live in an area that has HOAs that limit car advertising or have employees who use their personal vehicles for work, a car magnet can be removed and replaced as needed. And, if you register your personal vehicle as a commercial one, a magnetic car sign can be applied to your vehicle without the need for a special license or permit.
Before applying your car magnet, double check that the surface of the vehicle is metal and can hold a magnetic coating. Some doors of certain vehicles are made of aluminum or fiberglass, and these surfaces may not adhere to the magnet. A test with a lightweight refrigerator magnet will help you make this determination. It is also a good idea to clean the area of the vehicle where your magnet will be placed on a regular basis to prevent dirt and grime from getting between the car and the magnetic surface. Finally, always remove your magnet before taking your vehicle through an automatic car wash.
