Hello guys,
Well, I've been pondering about car magnets.
On my way to the office every morning I notice people use them quite a lot. One day I called a mortgage agent by using the magnet on the car proving that sometimes it is reliable.Now, my question is. Would it be a good idea to have some done for the kind of services I provide? I've never seen one before that advertises graphic design meaning that probably it isn't a good idea. I'm very selective on the types of clients I take in, but this been bothering me for quite some time.
What do you guys think?

When my parents had a sandwich delivery service they had car magnets for the side of the delivery vehicles. They got stolen at a rate of about 2 per year.

if you want mom and pop clients, sure, go for it, maybe they will call. i doubt any real, interesting work would come from it though.

I'd rather see you wrap your car - assuming it's nice enough to do that too. Car magnets are cheap – you want to show off what you can do.
I think the poster above is right... it all depends on what kind of clients you want. I'd think you'd get calls from people who have no money and are only "browsing", but I've been wrong before.

I've seen a web designer advertising on the side of their car. It wouldn't instill much faith that they were very good in my mind.

i ask one question:
would you call on design services advertised on the side of a car?

you can write off your car if you advertise on it.
