Back with results. The Buildasign.com decals was not good at all. The decals were okay, but not what we thought. We ordered 2 and had to try both, but it came out bubbly & the directions were not good at all.

Then we found a great local person who installed decals fast & their quality is great!! Spectrum Signs in Orange County, CA is great! The owner is very nice and showed us how he makes the signs & even gave us a sample. We highly recommend this company! We are very pleased & happy with our new decals.

Jamie, do you know if you have had any contact as a result of your decals? What information did you put on them?
Thanks!
Vanessa Cox

Hi Vanessa,

We have our company name, logo, phone number, website and 2 short lines stating what areas we help people.

We have not had calls yet, but is probably due to us not driving it on long trips yet or around town for longer periods . But we are very pleased with it and we think that was well worth it to get the car done.

Soon, it will all pay off, I am sure... just need to keep at it and keep trying.

Good Luck!

Hopped out of the Wizmobile at the supermarket early the other morning and a guy going by said "So you're the lady who drives that!". On my way back from the dog park and looking like a bag lady, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me, but it's good to know it's getting noticed

Hi...I have been thinking about getting a car magnet sign too! I've seen cars advertising their businesses around town, but nothing for administrative services. There are 2 other businesses in my area who do what I do, similar but each different.

It would give exposure to the business and let people get used to seeing your name around town. I don't know if any business would come from it, but people would know your name! You have to drive around though, or park your car in places where you'll be for a while, like the shopping center, park, etc. -- I would think anyway. It's inexpensive advertising for sure! You never know...one good client would pay for it!

I am definitely going to look into the car vinyl decals. Don't care much for the magnets, though.
