Is a Vehicle Wrap Right for Your Business? How to Calculate Break Even for a New Wrap

Teran Marsell | Published on September 16th, 2020

Wrapping vehicles in your fleet is an investment in your business. It allows you to advertise your company with little to no effort without paying large monthly fees. Yet when you spend money on advertising (or most anything else), you’re going to want to know when it becomes profitable — or calculate the break even point for your wrap. To determine how many new customers you’ll need to attract to cover the cost of your wrap, you’ll need to know: Your total fixed costs (FC). This is how much your wrap is going to cost. Your average gross margin, or the price at which you sell your products minus what they cost you. Once you have those numbers, you’ll use the following formula where BE equals your break even point. BE = FC / GM Now let’s use a few examples to give you a better idea of how this works. Break Even for More Expensive Products and Services Mechanics, plumbers, landscapers and other service providers that do higher paying jobs will find this example most relevant. Let’s say you’re a landscaper and you were quoted $3,500 to wrap your truck. That’s your fixed cost. For the sake of the example, we’ll say that you’re GM...

So to get all your facts straight before going forward with your decision about getting a vehicle wrap, you should weed out the following myths first: Vehicle Wraps Are Expensive This basically depends on the variable of perception.

4 Places To Use COVID Social Distancing Stickers

oguz | Published on August 28th, 2020

No matter what kind of company you run, there's a good chance that you've recently been doing more to keep people apart from one another. If this sounds at all familiar, then you've probably also gotten at least a little pushback from clients who don't quite know what's expected from them. Fortunately, high-quality advertising stickers can be repurposed into miniature safety signs that tell people where it's safe to stand. We all need to do what we can to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Places To Mount Social Distancing Stickers 1) Waiting in Line You'll want to make sure that people are able to maintain a reasonable distance from one another while they're waiting in line at nearly any kind of facility that requires them to do so.

6 Reasons Why You Should Never Ignore a Crack in Your Windshield

Teran Marsell | Published on August 17th, 2020

You are driving down the road when suddenly, you hear that sickening pop. A pebble has leaped from the tire of the vehicle in front of you and cracked your windshield. It is just a small crack, so why worry about it, right? Wrong. Even a small crack can cause big trouble. It is never OK to ignore a cracked windshield. Here are a few reasons why. 1.Continuing damage Yes, you heard that right. The damage is not contained to that small area for long. Fluctuation of temperatures from day to night or driving to parking will have adverse effects on the windshield. Rapid temperature changes will cause the glass to expand and retract allowing the crack to spread. This is what causes the spider webbing around the crack. Pressure changes inside the car will also cause the crack to spread. Slamming the doors with all the windows up is the worst thing you can do. Not only does this cause a sudden change in the interior pressure, it adds vibrations. Depending on the size of the crack, you could shatter the windshield when you slam your doors. 2.Debris collections If the damage isn’t too extensive, a repair can be done. A special resin is...

Tips on How to Protect Your Auto Glass

Teran Marsell | Published on August 16th, 2020

Keeping yourself and belongings safe can be simplified with the simple task of strengthening your auto glass. Protecting your vehicle’s window glass will help keep thieves away and deter the repercussions of extreme weather conditions, especially during the winter. A vast amount of the vehicle burglaries that take place in the United States result in broken vehicle glass—whether it involves stealing the vehicle itself or taking the items inside of it. Securing your vehicle glass will help protect you from several threats. The following are some ways you can take matters into your own hands. Park in a Safe Area In addition to the above-mentioned incentives for protecting your auto glass, you should consider how much money you’ll be saving, too, by not having to pay for a repair. Remember to park away from trees or unstable roadside objects in the occasion of severe weather. A windy thunderstorm, for example, can either cause a loose tree branch or trunk to break your window(s). You should also avoid parking in an unsafe neighborhood. If you know that a certain area is prone to a high rate of auto theft or burglaries, it would be wise to choose another location to park in. Your auto glass...

Oldschool Vehicle Graphics: A Brief History of the Wrap

Teran Marsell | Published on August 10th, 2020

Vehicle advertising isn’t a new concept. Before there were cars there were horse-drawn carriages. Traveling salesmen would travel from place to place selling their wares, which were advertised in paint on the sides of their carriages. From dairymen and a million other kinds of delivery services to physicians and carnivals, vehicle advertising has been an effective way to drum up business for centuries. Is Car Really Just Short for Carriage? When the horseless carriage was introduced in the 19th century, the idea was altered to suit motorized vehicles. Yet when 3M engineers created the double-coated cloth tape that was first used a roadway median in 1937, no one could have predicted what its invention would mean for skilled sign painters. Switching to Road Signs… When the roadway median floated away with the spring’s thaw, 3M’s development team decided to take their invention down another path—road signs. With a little tinkering, they created a reflective sheeting for road signs. By 1939, the first reflective highway signs appeared on a Minnesota highway and signage was changed forever. …And Back to Vehicles Fast forward the next few years, when more aggressive adhesives were developed to adhere the reflective sheeting to metals, woods and other surfaces. Vinyl coatings were developed...
