Car wrap advertising and print on demand

Vinyl car wraps are the most underrated form of commercial advertising but the most effective of all. It’s also a cost-effective way to market your business despite how small or large it is. Vehicle ads are the best solutions for business owners to gain new customers and grow their businesses. Today, with print on demand it is possible to create high-impact advertising campaigns.

Outreach and effectiveness of the advertising strategy

Car wrap advertising is a massive outdoor method that some advertisers use to attract the attention of potential customers. A vehicle, which can be a car, bus, truck, or van, is covered with a thin synthetic adhesive film printed with advertising copy advertising a company. The advertising wrap may cover the entire vehicle or only some areas of the vehicle.


For safety reasons, the front windshield should be left clear so that the driver’s vision is not compromised. The print on demand with car wrap advertising method is mobile and allows other drivers, as well as pedestrians, to see a company’s name, contact information, and unique selling proposition.


Getting the message across with car wraps is no easy task; a viewer generally only has a few seconds to take in the text and graphics. For example, even if a vehicle is wrapped in eye-catching colors and graphics, a “Pedro’s Tacos” automobile with just the website address and phone number is not enough. Potential customers usually still need something to convince them why they need to contact this company.


In this way, a clear message distinguishes each company. For example, all taco restaurants sell tacos, but some specialize in a particular style. A message can be summarized in a tag line and this is especially useful when creating effective advertising copy for automobile advertising; both space and time to convey the message are limited.

In the case of a small local business, as in the example of “Pedro’s Tacos,” the vehicle ad could convey the message simply with copy such as “Tacos for all your occasions, from family celebrations to corporate events. Call us today at xxx-xxxx for a free quote.”

A unique aspect of vehicle advertising is that only one angle of the ad copy can be read at a time. A potential customer can only see one side of the car and not the back or other side. For example, if a car is behind the vehicle wrapped in advertising in traffic, its driver can only see the rear.


For this reason, the rear window usually has the name, contact information, and quick tag line. Car wrap advertising is considered a low-cost advertising method, as it generally costs only a few dollars per thousand people to view. The advertising message can be seen when the car is parked in public areas, as well as when driving the wrapped vehicle.


In fact, large corporations often have an entire fleet of automobiles with the same billboards across the country. This maintains a type of presence in the marketplace and reminds people of the brand when they see the cars wrapped in ads.

Pros of car wraps

Effective advertising

It is estimated that a daily driver spends an average of 30 days a year inside the car. That’s a huge potential audience that can see your advertising circulating everywhere every day. Compared to other media, the ratio between graphic costs and the number of views is the most cost-effective there.

Protection

Your vehicles inevitably suffer from wear and tear and the passage of time. Vinyl lettering can protect them or give them a new look and enhance your brand image.

Residual value

With wrapping, you can apply and change vinyl whenever you need to and easily, especially when you want to sell it.

Visual appearance

Obviously, vehicle wrapping is a great way to strengthen your brand identity, giving your company a professional image. Your vans, cars, trucks or coaches can be as discreet or as spectacular as you wish.

FAQ

  • Will the car wrap damage the vehicle?

    Applying a specialized vehicle wrap film to your vehicle will not damage your paint. However, if you already have stone chips, abrasions, or rust spots in the paint, it is important to remember that when the vinyl is removed, loose paint may be removed.

  • Can I choose to wrap only part of my vehicle?

    Vehicle wrapping is most effective when the entire vehicle is covered with a complete design, but you may choose to wrap only part of the vehicle, such as the rear doors or side panels.

  • How much does car wrapping cost?

    The cost depends on the size of the vehicle being wrapped, but for an average size car, it is much lower compared to re-spray.
