Who is your customer? It sounds like such an obvious question but one worth considering when you decide what message to convey on your van. It’s important to consider the age group of your customer so that your brand reflects just who your customer is. You would not want a MTV feel is your target market is senior citizens!

What?

What does your company do and what is its specialty? Many of our customers want a laundry list of every service their company provides and all this does is clutter the message of your brand. You will see this type of van on the street and it is so cluttered you actually DON’T want to look at it. Using a clean design reflecting your company’s branding will have potential customers taking notice and reaching out to you for your service. It is important to have a consistent message across your advertising and promotional mediums including your van wraps.

When?

Just where can your customer find you? This will tie into who your customer is but predominately customer are driving traffic to their website which may want you to consider if your web domain is easy to remember. Phone is another easy way for your customer to contact you so it is recommended that your number be displayed in an easy to read font and format. Many customers insist on having an address on their van and in some instances this may be a benefit in general I discourage it. Remember your potential customer has only a few seconds to read your message and remember how to act upon it.
