Branding on your personal vehicle?

[Mikey P]

Door magnets?
Window decals?
Neck tatts?

I got some extra vinyl logos last time I hade my van lettered.

The plan was to do a little subtle branding on our personal vehicles, but then I remembered my wife's penchant for road rage and I thought better of it.

We did magnets painted to match the dark blue years ago. Then just a logo on the doors. Now just a company license plate up front.

To me, it looks needy. Especially without a phone number.

 

[Mikey P]

Would it look less needy if I put it on my 2004 Civic?

I wouldnt brand my personal vehicle. For me the cons out way the pros

Business is Business ........personal is personal.
Gang members tattoo their faces.
Me and Nate are way to popular already, so we drive around on 20"s with da windows tinted!

Mark do you claim any business write-off for the ads on personal vehicles?

Mark do you claim any business write-off for the ads on personal vehicles?

Yes... The vehicles you see in the pics are 80%-90 % business use... Possibly more and some are strict business use for the 100 % deduction.

Documentation is done each year...

With our area, the vehicles do help gain extra business as people do see them.... And comment about seeing them

When I'm off duty, I don't want to be driving around in a Mercedes with a sign on the door.

 

[bob vawter]

I"m sure Mikey hauls chems and various cleaning tools in that truck. ....
Of course it's a write off

[Mikey P]

You need to capitalize first letter of each word, if you want people to be able to read it and remember. We're creatures of reading habits.
When they enter on computer it makes no difference if it's entered as lower case or capital letter but sure makes it easier to read:

I do like the two colors.

As per commercializing every aspect of your life?
Hey, knock yourself out

 

[steve_64]

I like it mike.

We are thinking of something similar for ours.

I had my pick up truck lettered, it is my personal vehicle but also my repair only truck.
One day I was in the left lane and had been trying to get over to get to my exit. So I put my turn signal on and the lady behind me in that lane suddenly sped up so I said screw you and jumped in front of her and barely made my exit. Next thing I knew my phone rang......
" Hi, I just thought you should know one of your employees driving a big Ford truck just cut me off"
Me...." Well, that was me driving that truck and I needed to get over and you were very thoughtless and rude to try to not let me over, how much of a hurry are you in that you felt the need to not be courteous?"
Her...click.
I think it is good to letter your utility vehicles and if there some occasional idiot who doesn't like your driving because they don't understand common courtesy or the road rules so be it!
I've thought about getting a magnet for my car as I do use it for sales calls and estimates but nothing permanent.

I told a complainer that I was going to fire myself as soon as I got in for driving my AT in the fast lane..

Haha!! I would've loved to see her reaction to that!
