Reading Magnetic Signs

posted in a little bit of everything |

Do you ever find yourself reading the magnetic signs people have on their vehicles? I do, it sorts of provides my entertainment as I’m driving down the road, especially on longer trips. When we drove out to Tennessee last month I was wishing I had placed Magnetic signs on my van for everyone to see and maybe drum up some traffic to my site and some purchases.

Have you ever called a business after reading their magnetic sign? I’ve done it a few times, most recently to order pizza while we were in the car. My daughter just picked up my cell phone and plugged in the number so that I could order the pizza on our way and then we didn’t have to wait to long. I’ve also contacted carpet cleaners and landscape services after seeing them in the neighborhood and reading their magnetic signs. What about visiting the website that you’ve read from a magnetic sign, I’ve done that a lot.

I know that many of us crafting bloggers are trying hard to make a niche for not only our blogs, but our businesses as well. What better way to let people around where you live know about your business then with a car magnet? Right now you can even receive 25% off Car Door Magnets by using coupon code CarDoor25 at vistaprint.com and there are 2 sizes to choose from and over 100 designs to choose from.  If you like, you can even create your own design.  Personally, I’m looking for any way to increase my sales and make my craft work for me.

    I wanted to give a heads up to remove the magnets from the bumper before you start a carwash, mine were lost in the process somewhere and had to be replaced.

    Chris - I like the idea of having my blog name on a sign too! We didn’t have any storms in our area, but we sure could use some rain.

    I’m so glad that you and others read the magnetic signs. We have them on our vehicles for our business and I would hate to think people ignore them…LOL We get at least 2 call per month from the signs.

    I seriously DO read the magnetic signs! I’m always looking for a contractor of one kind or another, especially when it comes to our landscaping and maintenance. If I see a truck in our neighborhood more than once, it’s a pretty good indication that they’re worth a call and I get their name and number off their vehicle.

    Magnetic signs are fabulous especially if they are good at catching the eye. Try using a little sense of humor, that will always make them more memorable. Ever thought of paying someone to have them on their car? Teenagers and college students are always look for a little extra cash.
