Vehicle lettering actually works!!!!!!!!
Hi all,
I have a mate who helps me out from time to time with installs I can’t manage alone. He’s a professional ceramic tiler, and I lettered his van a few weeks ago with some offcuts of blue 751 – not too fancy, about 3 colours. Anyway he’s had one job come directly from the van and yesterday we were sat outside B&Q trade entrance stuffing out faces from the chippy down the road ( No diets here Mr Brown… 😉 ), when there was a knock on the van window. My mate rolls down the window and the bloke outside apologises for interrupting our lunch but explains that he’s a kitchen fitter and needs someone to do his ceramic tiling in the south west………….just shows that vehicle advertising works!
It was nice to see what a few scrap pieces of vinyl can do!
Cheers

Absolutley agree with you Joe.
Many is the time when I’ve been out on a job in my van that I have had enquiries as a result of my van being seen. My Record is three genuine seperate enquires in one day when I was outside working installing a shop sign.
I tell this story to all the Miserly cheapskates that whinge at the cost of getting a van lettered and remind them of the cost of advertising in a local paper. If they want value for money – Van signs are extremely cost effective.
For the small independant tradesman (plumber, painter, electrician etc.) a well designed van livery is a great advert.
The same applies to small independant signmakers. 😀

your right joe! it does work, i onyl did a fast job on my van & i have got work out of it, the other day a bloke came over to me in our local builders yard as i was getting out of my van and asked if i do signs!
i looked round at the side of my van, turned to him and smiled, yeah i do
& got his van to do! so it does work! eddie -
I echo this too.
I picked up a job the other day for 6 sets of Magnetics whilst doing some window graphics.
It may be frowned upon but on one side of my van I have an excellent Mike the Sign T-shirts magnetic ‘advert’…and on the other side one in a similar vein but using different colours and graphic for Signs. This guy crosses the road to speak to me about signs, turns to head back, sees the T-shirt side and says ‘and I’ll have some of those too!’

T Shirts work too, i was sat in McDonalds in the services on the M1 on my way back from Watford, and a guy came up to me and said that he noticed my Polo Shirt (which had “SIGNSCRIPT” & “The Unusual Banner Co” on) and could i give him a price for a blue and white banner 30′ x 20’……. a £1000 job from a £4 polo shirt….. not bat hey??
