There's viable reasons for both having the work van signed and for not.
However if a plain white van pulls up and a signed van pulls up, straight away you know exactly what one of them is for and the other you have no idea until they reveal themselves. It may (pending the condition of said van) make people seem questionable as well.
Personally I'm waiting till I have a signed van for two reasons. The first, I'm giving it a lot of thought to how I want it to look but the main reason is waiting for a newer van. My van has 175000 on clock and won't last many years. When it dies I will replace and get that van signed up. For now however, I have opted for magnetised signs and not the pigly small ones from vista print lol.
I always get people taking a photo of the sign for telephone number etc or many just stand there reading it before moving on, which is funny as they don't see me sat in van most of the time.
But I also have the option of using the signs if I ever need to hire a temporary van etc
Nathan it would be a good idea to upgrade your van sooner rather than later, sell it while it still works and put the money towards a new(er) van.
Don’t wait for the van to die, it’ll be worth nothing but scrap then, look forward and make changes before the inevitable.
I was driving an 06 transit connect, 120k on the clock, knew it was time to sell before it started losing more value and niggles appeared. Sold it, wacked the money towards a 3 year old transit custom (63 plate) and have never looked back. No finance, bought it outright, will sell this custom in a year or so and do the same again, keeping the equity in the van to sell for a newer one.
Oh, and always had them sign written to keep relevant to thread!
