Hi everyone...
I've been running my own business from home now for the last couple of years, and I am really at the point where I need to start getting the name out more.
However locally the advertising options are slim, the best option is the weekly newspaper, but it is way overpriced, and most other businesses (and individuals) I have spoken to admit that they only buy it to see who's died, who's married who, and see the other local gossip. Local radio I have been told has worked better for others, but is even more expensive.
I have my first Yellow pages ad this year, I joined the Chamber of Commerce last month, and I have been working on SEO and also Google Adwords, all of which are helping.
With that in mind, I wondered about getting my car wrapped, and wanted to know your opinions on this.
Have you done it, did it work for you?
I reckon it probably wouldn't cost much more than putting a decent sized ad in the paper for one week, and that it would get seen a lot more, especially as I do drive abotu a lot locally and to from Glasgow etc.
Also does it matter what type of car, or do you think that doesn't matter too much these days?
For example I happen to drive a Silver Mercedes C220, now I'm not a flash person, and I actually inherited it, but I do worry what people would think if that was sign written.
Does it make me look more successful than I am, and is that a good or a bad thing?
Any opinions on this would be great.
