One great way to make your vehicle catch the attention of passersby and to market your business is with vehicle wraps. However, if you are not careful, there can also be downsides to having a wrap. Here is what to consider before getting a vehicle wrap in North Jersey installed on your company’s trucks, cars, or vans.
1. Simple Vehicle Wrap Repairs are Easy to Fix!
When you promote your business or brand with vehicle vinyl wraps, you can essentially install it and forget it. For their lifetime, you do not have to do much to them. You do need to keep an eye on the appearance of the graphics however. For example, as time passes, road debris or rocks could put a gash or nick in a piece of the vinyl. Or, when using less experienced sign companies or when self-installing, corners may start to peel off.
When you notice this, you should talk to The Sign Center right away. The nick could get larger. Or, you might wear a hole in your car’s paint job as grit makes its way under the wrap. This will lead to rust. Inspect your graphics for any peeling or damage every week or two. We can easily repair vehicle wraps if needed.
2. You Need to Regularly Wash Your Car
To ensure your vinyl graphics last as long as possible - up to five or more years longer than expected, you should wash your truck or car on a regular basis. In addition, your car needs to be free of grime as well as clean. This is so you can present the best image possible when people notice your wrap. You will need to get into the habit of washing your vehicle on a regular basis, every week or two, if you do not already. Check out our guide to caring for your vehicle wraps.
3. You Have to Drive Cautiously and Courteously
Your drivers are the living embodiment of your business, and your vinyl wraps are advertisements. You can imagine what stories the other motorists will tell their friends and family if your drivers like to make obscene gestures or exceed the speed limit. As a business owner, to keep your brand pristine, make certain your workers know they must be courteous to all drivers, 
even the terrible ones, and obey all traffic laws.
4. Do Not Advertise that You Are Carrying Valuables
Have you ever seen a band’s tour bus or van? Not sure? That is because they rarely put their logos or names on their vehicles. These graphics would advertise to potential criminals that there is valuable musical equipment on board. Vinyl wraps may tell people what you are carrying depending on what work you do. Make sure you have a great security system and insurance if you have expensive equipment in your truck and put graphics on it.
Now that you know what to consider before getting a vehicle wrap in North Jersey, you are ready for the next step in building your brand. To outfit your fleet of vehicles with vehicle wraps, graphics, or lettering, contact The Sign Center today for a free consultation and quote.
