Just wanted to pass along some info...

I received an e-mail from Vista Print yesterday and they are currently offering a small car magnet (8x11) for FREE and the large one (11 x 17)for 1/2 price.

I ordered the large one and with shipping it came to just over $13.00....not too shabby. I've been happy with the quality of their other products so I hope I like their magnet too!

I checked that out. Good price for the large car magnet.

Thanks Kari!

LOVE the Quotethewalls.com site. Great Idea I think I will have my brother do the back window of my SUV. If anyone is in the Nashville area his site is www.MusicCitySigns.com

I am so glad someone brought this up! I was considering buying the car magnets because I had them in my real estate business and they are really great! One thing though, due to bad weather they may cause minor damage to the finish on your car. I didn't have that problem, but have heard of some that did.

My brother recommends moving them every few weeks and never using them in the same spot for to long. Real important make sure not dirt is on the back, it will scratch your paint.

I think the magnets or lettering are fantastic tools to advertise your business. I know I always make note of a business driving by.

I love the quotethewalls.com website! (Closet scrapbooker, here) I love the idea of using my car to advertise, especially since my target market is on the road with me! I'm paranoid about someone stealing the magnets off my car, since they're so easy for some kid to remove just for fun. But I think I'm going to go with the back window decal. The business card holder is a great idea too! As another poster said, sometimes people don't have a pen and paper handy.

I love the window decal. Now off to find a company that can make these at a reasonable cost.
