Sign writing questions...

[DannyCane]

As I have only just started out I'm new to all this so just a few questions on van sign writing :

 

1= what should I include in the writing ?

2 = Go for an eye catching picture or just a simple yet effective logo?

3= Advertise that I am on forums such as this ?

4 = Is it appropriate to add who I sponsor : ie the local fire show , and a friend who races ?

 

 

Many thanks

Seconded. The only time I think a picture works is full wrap, eg. the Sky vans.

 

A clean and tidy van should do the job- the only time your customers will really compute and take note is when it's parked up next to the job- and then your work should be doing the selling, the van is just a giant business card.

Every now and then we wash the chipper , Its orange !

Keep it simple, co logo name and phone numbers.

 

Don't bother with all the other crap no body cares who you sponser etc

I'm throwing a few things around on paint and am trying to come up with a few ideas and having a look in the arbtruck section is also helping , will upload a few ideas soon ....

[DannyCane]

Cheers for the help guys , will upload a few ideas soon as come up with a couple , my lawn signs seem to be doing well at getting me work when put out on site and they are only about 2ft by 1ft , so the idea of spending the money to get the van done seems like the best thing to do rather than place ads in the local paper

 

Being a transit un sign written also gives the impression I am a you know what , so a few of my customers have told me ...

[swinny]

Yup. Ive had vans sign written in the past. Lots of info on etc... hen changed vans... lost out on money from sign writing plus pain to remve so much.

 

Now its an external board bolted to sides. Name. Message n number

[DannyCane]

I know what you mean about a pain in the backside to remove had to do this when I first purchased the van , the idea of a bolt on sign won't work with mine tho , as its a panel van , however that is a useful idea for my trailer as the cable ties holding on the plastic sign works but doesn't look very professional

[Warners]

simple and large so it can be seen by motorists driving by... nothing worse than tiny little letters that can only be read standing next to the van..... less is more...!!!!
