Vehicle Branding – Turn Your Car Into a Mobile Billboard
If you have ever wondered how to reach more potential customers, but are not quite sure how to do it we’ve got the answer!
In an age where traditional advertising is dwindling because of the huge cost many businesses are looking at creative and innovative ways to reach the marketplace and to convert potential customers into sales. Many businesses, particularly small and medium sized businesses can’t afford newspaper or magazine advertising. They most certainly can’t afford to take out ads on the huge billboards around town, and while there are other ways to reach customers, these businesses are looking at cost effective, long lasting and impactful means to gain brand and or product awareness.
Enter car branding. This is a very clever, relatively inexpensive way to let people know about your company that makes a real statement. Every business, regardless of size has a vehicle of some sort. Whether it’s the CEO’s car, a fleet of sales vehicles, delivery vans or trucks, it is highly likely that there is one. A car is the perfect opportunity for branding, and here’s why:
- The very nature of a motor vehicle means it’s mobile. Whether parked at the supermarket, driving down the highway or delivering in the centre of town, a car or truck is highly visible and is seen by many along the road. This means that a branded vehicle is getting your business out there, letting people know who you are and what you do. The reach of vehicle branding is far greater and in many cases more effective than other forms of advertising.
- By branding your car you are creating a brand awareness and brand identity. You are also creating curiosity about who you are and what you do.
- Car branding is much more cost effective. Print advertising is prohibitively expensive for most businesses, and is only as effective for the duration of the publication, so your fork out thousands for an ad to appear in a magazine that only reaches those people for the month it’s in circulation. By branding your car, you have a mobile ad that lasts for as long as you have that vehicle. From a cost point of view it’s a no brainer!
- You car or business vehicle becomes a working asset. Not only does it serve its purpose as a vehicle, but it is also mobile advertising. You are getting serious bang for your buck, and your brand is getting about town without you having to do too much more than what it is your business does.
- You are creating a brand reputation, and as a result building trust in your brand. Branding your vehicle is an outward display of your business. You’ve heard the expression “put your money where your mouth is?” Well, branding a vehicle is similar – you are showing potential customers who you are, what you do and that you are out there in the marketplace doing it. You are proud of your brand and are showing it off as opposed to hiding behind it. It also gives the impression that your business is a serious one and one that is well established.
- Finally, vehicle branding is long lasting and is durable. Whether you opt for branded car magnets or a full vehicle wrap, both are designed to last. Car magnets are removable, strong and durable. Vehicle wrapping is permanent, for as long as you want it to be, and has the added advantage that it also protects your vehicles from scratches and scrapes.
