Driving Customers to You - Your Car as a Marketing VehicleYou can turn your vehicle into a rolling advertisement. Costs start at just a few dollars, and you can put your business name, slogan, phone number and web site URL in front of thousands of potential customers while you are driving along the freeway, stuck in traffic or even while you are parked. Here are some of the best ways to use your vehicle as a marketing tool.

This is not a do-it-yourself project, but you can hire companies such as www. Coloredink.com to design and install the graphics. At an estimated cost of $3,500, this option is much more expensive than the others described here, but it will certainly make an impression on the other drivers you encounter. When your car is a traveling billboard, the time you spend in traffic will become more productive. Copyright Cathy Stucker.
