Advertise Your Business With A Vehicle Wrap 
By Matthew Johnson 

Small business owners put a lot of money into marketing and advertising their businesses. They will typically use one or more forms of advertising such as newspapers, magazines, online advertising, the phone book, radio, television, and direct mail. Many will place a small logo on the doors of their car or truck. Another form of advertising that has emerged in recent years are vehicle wraps. 

Vehicle wraps give small business owners a unique way to advertise their company. Vehicle wraps are made out of vinyl and can adhere to a car or truck for years without ruining the paint. Business owners can have their company name, phone number, logo, selling message, and just about any unique design or color placed on their car or truck and have hundreds of people view their add by simply driving around town going to appointments with customers or going to the grocery store. 

Vehicle wraps can cost around $2000 for a small car to $6000 for a large truck or RV. Since a vehicle wrap can last three to five years, this can be a cost effective way for a business owner to advertise their company. Plus when one considers the number of views that will occur daily just by driving around town, vehicle wrap advertising can be the least expensive way for a business owner to advertise their business. What many business owners do not know is that vehicle wraps can be financed. With a small processing fee and payments that can be as low as $99 per month, leasing a vehicle wrap allows a business owner to maintain the cash they have on hand for other business purposes while getting the vehicle wrap they need for advertising. 

Advertising in traditional outlets like newspaper, magazines, and the Internet can cost a few hundred to thousands of dollars per month depending on the type of ad that is placed. If you are running a start-up company and you do not have the money up front for traditional forms of advertising, you may want to consider financing a vehicle wrap for your advertising needs.

New Ideas & Business Development

Forbes gives us a good article in which they analyze why print media is still alive and thriving.  We connect better with the physical   this is why print media is alive and won’t stop for a long time.  Take a look at the article and you be the judge of the article.

Is print dead? This is a question that has been buzzing around the marketing world since the rapid surge of the Internet and social media. While many businesses have completely migrated their advertising efforts to the web because of its cost effectiveness, exposure potential and convenience, print still maintains its stance as a powerful and necessary component of an ad campaign. Let’s take a closer look at print media and some advantages it has over its digital counterparts.

Tangibility – A print piece is a physical thing. Magazines and newspapers can stay in houses or offices for months or years, while Internet ads can disappear into cyber space instantaneously.

Credibility – There is something about print that gives a sense of legitimacy. The saturation of popups and banner ads on the web can be overwhelming and the fear of spam and viruses is enough make people weary of clicking. There is no imminent danger in a print ad.

Branding – Print ads are excellent for solidifying your brand identity. Your ads should have a consistent aesthetic in terms of fonts, colors and types of images to establish brand recognition.

Target Marketing – Placing ads in publications such as specialty magazines can effectively reach niche audiences that may be more difficult to target online.

More Engaging – Consumers are more engaged when reading printed material, unlike websites, which are often skimmed in as little as a 15 second visit. A study shows that people read digital screen text 20% – 30% slower than printed paper. (Alshaali & Varshney, 2005)

Less Print Ads – With more and more businesses relying solely on the Internet for their advertising needs, the decline of print publication can actually be used as a marketing advantage. The publications are less crowded, allowing more room for your ad to shine, and possibly even cheaper prices for that ad space.

 QR Codes – Placing QR codes on printed pieces is an excellent way to bridge the gap between print and web. When scanned with a smartphone, the QR code will take you to a homepage or a special offer page that lives on the web.

The best way to market your business is to utilize as many channels as possible to reach every corner of your target demographic; this should not exclude print. Although it is likely that most emphasis, in terms of advertising, will be executed online, there still exist those who revel in the glory of the printed page and it’s important to reach them. Finding the right balance between various media will ensure a steady revenue flow, an increase in sales and new customers.
