  I have a sign written van which I consider a waste of money, so I would never put it on my car aswell.
 
  I will not be sign writting my next van either.

  I don't believe it has been worth the money and time invested in it,the only thing is customers and their neighbours know who is turning up and not just a white van being suspicious.

Sign written van definitely works for me. I always get telephone calls from it. I use large magnetic van signs. When I change the van , the signs come off and go on the new one, everytime.

mmmm not sure if we get any direct work from the sign writing on the vans but it definitely does promote a more professional image - and that is exactly what brings in most of the work for us
I've never been to bed with an ugly bird but I've woken up with loads!

Thrifty ! I like it , you must have yorkshire ancestry  ;D  Do you think it would work on an 04 vectra though ?  ( not the ancestry bit before anyone comments ) !

I once used magnetic signs when i had an older astra van.... i hated them... i used them for sticking on for pressure washing...

i really thought they looked tacky... they were 2ft long x 1 ft wide.. really cheap but looked it too...

i got no work from them... ( i always ask)....

But i want my expert van sign written,

one or two are saying they recieve nothing from that.... i have to disagree,

if nothing else, you will look professional in my opinion, and you have to be that, if you are serious about your business.

I've had 2 vans signwritten,... both times I got work from the signwriting before it had even left the signwriters car park! The first time it was a job worth over half the cost of the livery,...

IMO its the best money you can spend on advertising. It raises your company profile in the geographical area you need it, and gives you and your company a more professional image.

That being said, I have seen some designs that probably do more harm than good,....

ask yourself how many times you've  had people  enquire whilst you've been seen working, then ask yourself would they have approached you had you not had a sign written van. I think that advertising your services shows commitment and professionalism and makes you more approachable because they already know who you are and what you do.
