Being in the mobile auto paint repair business, my pickup truck has been my primary advertising. I've always had any new trucks lettered with my business name and phone number.
I bought a new camper shell for my truck and went to Carolina Signs for lettering. Tim gave me the option of installing actual photos of my work on the camper shell. This would be a first.
While photo graphics might be a little more in cost that just lettering, I have to say that my business has increased because of them. Within just a few weeks of Tim's installation, I wrote two estimates to individuals who said they discovered my business through my truck graphics. One of the estimates was written in a Walmart parking lot. The lady actually waited for me to return to my truck and requested the estimate! A few days ago, a potential customer actually called me from her cell phone to say that she was currently following my truck on the highway and decided to call and request an estimate. I used to hate being stuck in traffic. Its nice to know, that if I'm going to be stuck, I'm still promoting my business!
In the 18 years I've been in this business, I've never had this volume of interest due to the advertising on my truck. I really didn't think that photos (as opposed to just lettering) made that much of a difference.
Working with Tim and Judy, was a real pleasure. They have convinced me that they know how to increase the bottom line in any business through visual advertising. I also like the fact that they return your phone calls.
I'm sold.
