Magnetic signs that stay on!

[Midge]

Put your advertising on the vehicle and when you need to be anonymous, cover them with plain cover ups

 

This way you only need to have the magnets on when the vehicle is on site reducing the danger of them blowing off

 

Good call there /\/\/\/\

 

No worries about them been pinched or falling off then. Also 24/7 advertising even when van is parked up

Again a good point about being sign-written then covering up, but, doesn't having permanent decals or signage effect motor insurance?

 

Might be something for the OP to check with his insurers first...

I have the Vistaprint ones, never fallen off. Only thing is someone nicked a pair of them last year in Sainsbury's car park and then a customer called me up and said guys wt irish accents had turned up unsolicited to offer her tree work and because she knew of me by reputation she said it didn't sound like my style. Police got onto it.

 

Next set of signs I get will say on them "if these are not on vehicle [insert reg no(s).] then they've been nicked".

 

Yes I had heard you had yours stolen, that's an odd one. With someone else number etc. Personally I do not make any reference to tree work just company name, contact details and consultancy work on mine so people leave them alone.

 

I find it useful when going to and from site so people know who you are and the car you are in.

Thanks for the waxing the car advice. Not so easy to do when it chucks it down with rain every day (like it has been here for the last 6 wks)!

Thanks for the advice guys. I hadn't thought of getting permanent signage but can see some benefits, still like the idea of magnetic though. Good to hear some cheaper ones are ok re staying on.

I had magnetic signs on a four year old white van left them on for a few weeks and the paint went completely Matt underneath. Never managed to polish it out properly. Also any metal filings around will sit on the back and leave rust marks on the paint. I don't take the risk now and just go around naked

I bought some site boards off a company called signsmadeeasy. I told them what info and images I wanted on them , they designed them emailed me a proof then printed them plus two free magnetic signs. Signs are now two years old and have been great. Brilliant company highly recommend them.
