I passed a car the other day that really caught my eye. Its owner must have worked for a bloodmobile, because all over it were various magnetic signs advertising the benefits of giving blood. One of the more interesting magnetic signs was a sign shaped like a drop of blood - several of these were scattered all over the car. I had no doubt what the driver of this car stood for, thanks to her magnetic signs, and donors certainly knew they were in the right place when they arrived at the donation spot.

Not only was this person's car noticeable thanks to her creative use of magnetic signs, but she took a serious job - giving blood - and made it look fun and whimsical. This approach probably helped potential donors relax a little when they saw her car and possibly encouraged future donors to think about giving blood once they saw her positive, yet passionate magnetic signs.

And the best thing about her magnetic signs? If she has to be someplace where her array of magnetic signs would not be appropriate - a wedding or funeral, let's say - then all she has to do is peel them off and reapply them later! Magnetic signs ...
... are versatile and inexpensive, allowing people's businesses, causes, or personalities stand out.
Magnetic Signs Are Affordable Enough To Order Several

Usually when I see cars bearing magnetic signs, they have one sign on one car door and another sign on the other car door. Even a couple of magnetic signs work well to attract attention to your car. So think of what you can do with an entire fleet of magnetic signs to advertise your cause or business! The cost of the magnetic material is inexpensive, and even a custom ordered magnetic sign designed to your own specifications is affordable enough to outfit your car with a host of possibilities. And don't stop at just one shape or color for your custom magnetic sign - thanks to full color digital printing, any image you desire is available for your custom magnetic sign, including digital photographs. Marketing research shows that people are much more likely to retain a memory based on a photograph, particularly of a human face, than they are any other type of graphic. If you choose a photograph for your magnetic sign, just be sure that the size of your magnetic sign is large enough for the photograph to be seen.

And think outside the box - or rectangle, so to speak. Remember the drop of blood on the bloodmobile? Not only is it recognizable from a distance, immediately telling people what that particular magnetic sign represents, but it is different enough from standard rectangular shaped magnetic signs that it will draw the eye directly to it, even in heavy traffic. Magnetic signs average 130 viewing impressions per every mile, but I bet that this woman's car beat the average because her magnetic signs stood out not only from other cars, but also other cars with magnetic signs.

The shape of a drop of blood was also small enough so that the car owner could fit several of these magnetic signs on her car in different spots, which she did because custom magnetic signs are so affordable. So consider an unusual shape for your custom magnetic sign that represents what your are trying to promote, and don't stop at just one or two. Really draw attention to your car with several custom magnetic signs!
Are There Risks Involved With Using Magnetic Signs On My Car?

This is a good question, and the answer depend on what type of magnetic sign you use. Higher quality sign shops usually offer magnetic signs bonded with a thin, protective film known in the industry as ScratchGuard. ScratchGuard full protects any surface onto which it is applied from scratches and possible rust stains caused by a magnetic sign. Beware that not everyone uses ScratchGuard, however, and be sure to ask for it by name when ordering your custom magnetic sign. This is another good reason why it is better to custom order your magnetic signs rather than purchase them in a store - you know what you're getting when you order your own magnetic sign!
Express Yourself With Magnetic Signs

Now that you know how inexpensive custom magnetic signs are, and that there is no risk in using a high quality magnetic signs, nothing should stop you from designing a wide array of magnetic signs to cover your car with your personality. Just use your imagination, and you will be rewarded with the positive attention you will attract!
