Best Vehicle to Wrap for Promotional Use
Careful consideration should be taken in selecting a vehicle wrap for your company. This article is taken from a series of articles training vehicle wrap installers to create better work and improve their wrap installation skills – so we’ll focus on the business side of the vehicle wrap installer. What better way to advertise your services than of course driving around with a full wrap?
What do you Need for Work?
Wrapping your work vehicle is an obvious choice above a random car you have access to. Your chosen work vehicle would get the widest of exposure because of the amount of use it would receive getting supplies, traveling to work sites, and essentially being on display where you need it. Consider it your mobile portfolio to show off your work.
Display Your Message Large
For maximum impact your choice will need to also have adequate sized body panels to get the most bang for your buck. Vans work wonderfully for this purpose as they have large blank areas which can easily re-purposed to fit a vehicle wrap. Cars and trucks on the other hand do not work as well for this purpose as many have long surfaces with many contours which leaves you less room to get creative in your vehicle wrap.
How Long Will it Take?
Finally, consider the amount of time it’ll take to complete a wrap on certain body type. While the fact remains anything can really accommodate a full vehicle wrap, certain vehicles such as a Hummer can significantly increase the time it’ll take to complete a wrap installation. If the choice is there, your time is best served not being consumed installing graphics to extreme angles and extra complex compound forms.
In my experience the best vehicles to use to promote a vehicle wrap business, whether a full service wrap facility or mobile installation contractor, are cargo vans or passenger cars with a boxy appearance. They’ll get you to the job site, pack your rolls of vinyl, provide ease of installation, and give your business a great large advertisement everywhere you drive.
