Chances are you’ve seen or at least heard of a car wrap. It’s no mystery that they are an incredible tool for marketing and growing your audience. They help broadcast your message to the world with a memorable image or graphic. There are some car wrap mistakes that you should avoid before investing in one. 

GNS Wraps has seen tons of different wraps and wants to let you know how to avoid some common mistakes and get the most out of your car wrap.

No Target Audience

Defining a target audience is a crucial step in making sure your car wrap works successfully. If you fail to do this beforehand, you’ll be wasting money on the wrong type of car wrap. 

For example, if your company sells sports uniforms to children, you need a design that will display that. Consider images of kids playing sports or throwing a ball or putting your company name so they know who you are. It’s important your target audience can see what type of brand your company is. 

Using the Right Car Wrap Company

Sadly, not all companies are the same. You need a company that will guide you through the process and ensure the work they are doing is with an experienced team.

Before choosing a company, make sure to do some research about them to make sure they are the right choice for you. Look for reviews online and see how long they have been in business. You want a company with experience and has everything you need from design to printing. 

Getting the Wrong Wrap

You need to have the right vehicle for your business needs. It should be durable and withstand every type of weather. 

Ask GNS Wraps about different vehicle types for your business and we can lead you in the right direction.

No Marketing Strategy

Once you’ve decided on a car wrap, it’s important to have a marketing plan as well. No marketing plan can result in wasted money. Your plan should outline goals, target audience, budget, timeline, and timeframe. 

Rushed Job

Getting a vehicle wrapped takes time and some people don’t know that. They think it will take a day at most and they’ll be back on the road in no time. It’s important to talk to the company first to see how long it will take.

Vehicle graphics are known for their long-lasting life span and amazing durability. They will, after some time, begin to fade away and peel off. On average, you can expect a vehicle graphic to last about five years, although if they are taken care of properly they may last up to ten years. The length of a vehicle graphic also depends on the quality of the adhesive and the vehicle they’re applied to.

GNS Wraps has been supplying premium vehicle graphics in the South Florida area for years and wants to help your graphics stand out. GNS Wraps wants to give you some advice on keeping your vehicle graphics as clean as possible.

When is Professional Services Needed?

If you decide to use a professional service to clean or restore your graphics, make sure to do some research first. A company that has only been in business for a short period of time can sometimes do spotty work. You should also see how they go about their cleaning method. A reputable company, like GNS Wraps, will use environmentally friendly products that are sure to make your graphics look incredible. 

How Can I Keep My Vehicle Graphics Looking Good?

When trying to keep your vehicle graphics fresh, there are a few ways you can do it:

Make sure to clean the graphics properly, especially if they have had long exposure to heat or sunlight. If there is dried mud or dirt on the graphics, use a soft, non-abrasive cleaner, and a soft-bristled brush. If the graphic has begun to peel, a professional service can either repair it or remove it without causing any damage to your vehicle. 

The less time your vehicle graphics are exposed to the sun, the longer they will retain their color. Dirt and grime on a graphic can cause the adhesive surface to become brittle and crack, resulting in damage to not only the graphic but also the vehicle.

Refrain from using a pressure sprayer when cleaning your vehicle. The intense pressure can cause your wraps to peel, fade, or crack.

A Temporary Fix for Vehicle Graphics

GNS Wraps can help make your graphic look crisp for longer. We can apply a temporary decal, paint over the graphic, or apply an overlay. If the graphic is severely damaged, a temporary fix may not be enough to fix it.

Car wrap damage is affected by both hot and cold weather, so it’s important to take the right precautions to protect your car wrap.

As the temperatures continue to drop, you might be curious about how to protect your car wrap from the colder weather. Thankfully, protecting your car wrap from cold weather isn’t very difficult. Only a few steps have to be taken and you can rest easy knowing that your wrap will be in perfect condition after the weather rises again and the snow (if your area gets it) has melted away. 

 

Scraping Causes Car Wrap Damage

It’s common knowledge but when it gets, frost will often build on the surfaces of cars. When this happens, our first instinct is to grab an ice scrapper and start scraping away at it. While effective, it can often damage your car and, more specifically, your vehicle wrap. A typically vinyl car wrap will last on average five to seven years if taken care of properly. Just like the paint on a car, vinyl will become damaged if continually scratched and scrapped.

 

Clean Your Wrap

With the winter season, you’re more likely to experience rain, wind, and snow. These are the perfect conditions for your vehicle wrap to become dirty. It may not be the ideal temperature, but cleaning your car wrap will ensure that it lasts a long time. Waiting too long to clear your car from dirt and debris will result in it becoming thicker and harder to remove. This debris will cause you to scrub harder and longer which can leave damage to your wrap. By keeping your vehicle clean, you avoid the trouble of having to scrub more which in turn keeps your wrap from peeling and becoming damaged.

 

Clear the Snow

When snow is left on a surface, especially the surface of a car, it can turn into ice which is even harder to remove. It’s best to try and clear the snow as often as you can to prevent a further headache in the future. Ice will stick to the vinyl wrapping, making it very difficult to clean and can result in damage to your wrap. Snow is much easier to brush off compared to the hard nature of ice.

 

Keep it Covered

Covered parking may not be available to everyone, but if it is, make sure to use it. This is the most effective way to keep a car wrap from being damaged by winter conditions. Garages, carports, or any other sort of covering, even a tarp, will help prevent damage to the vinyl. It’s also a good idea to take notice where you park your car. Parking under a tree can result in snow pouring down on your car or branches breaking off and scraping your wrap. The worst thing that can happen is a heavy branch breaking off and leaving even more damage than just a wrap.

The decision has been made to wrap your next round of business vehicles. Now comes the difficult decision of what it should look like. The next big decision you have to overcome is whether or not you should get a full or partial car wrap. While both decisions can help transform your fleet of vehicles, there are a few things that should be taken into consideration before deciding whether or not a full or partial car wrap is the right choice.

 

Type of Vehicle

The first thing that needs to be considered is the type of vehicle you’ll be wrapping. The most important aspect to be looking at is the size and shape of the vehicle the wrap is going to be installed on. A full or partial car wrap can often depend on these as different form factors play a role in price and finer detail. A vehicle that has large expanses of space often plays well with partial car wraps. These types of vehicles often include large trucks or vans. If it’s a smaller car a full wrap offers the best value as well as more of an impact for the design that you decide to go with.

 

Color of Vehicle

You may think that the color of the car wouldn’t matter since it’s being wrapped, however, the color can sometimes play well with the logo or wrap that you’re going with. If you’re thinking about a full or partial car wrap, try comparing it to the color of the vehicle. If it goes well, let some of the colors shine through with a partial wrap. On the other hand, if you’re wrapping an entire fleet of vehicles with mismatched colors or the original color just doesn’t pair well, a full wrap is always the way to go. To a business, image is everything, and having a group of vehicles that don’t match doesn’t leave a good impression.

 

Budget

When deciding between a full or partial car wrap, the budget can often play an important role, especially for a fleet of business vehicles. Partial wraps will obviously be less expensive compared to full wraps, but other factors must be considered such as type of vehicle, design needs, and if any assistance is required with coming up with a design. Contact the GNS Wrap team to help with any assistance on budget.

While there are tons of different reasons to invest in a vehicle wrap, there are a few things that should always be included to make sure you get the most out of your vehicle wrap. You don’t want to rush your design as there are a lot of important details you could miss. Make sure your color scheme is correct and your message is clearly important, but there could be some smaller details that you’re missing. GNS Wraps wants you to be happy and proud about the vehicle wrap you go with, which is why we wanted to show you some details you could be missing.

 

Logo

Before you submit your design, make sure your logo is present on your vehicle wrap. A logo is one of the most important assets a business has. It’s the logo that people remember when they think of your business so you want it to stand out. Your logo being recognizable will allow people to remember what it is and will display a clear message about who you are and what you do.

 

Bullet Points

While the logo will give people a way to remember what you do, some bullet points with the logo can help people further understand the exact services you provide. You want these bullet points to be concise and easy to read. People driving by you won’t have time to read long sentences or small font, so make sure it’ll be easy to read quickly while also getting the message across. 

 

Contact Information

Now that people know your business and exactly what it is you do, you’ll need a way for people to get in contact with you. This can be a business phone number, email, website, or any other easy way to reach you. Your phone number should be the highest priority as they can often be hidden and hard to find. It should be easy to locate and easy to read.

 

QR Code

QR codes are a newer trend so it makes sense if you haven’t seen many on vehicle wraps. These codes are extremely helpful for getting all the information you want someone to have in an instant. All it requires is a quick scan rather than trying to type in all the different information.

 

Social Media

Lastly, you want to include all of your social media handles. The world of social media is growing exponentially, so it’s important to have that information included as well. These handles can help you connect with people more than ever before.

What Are Vehicle Wraps?

Are They Effective? 

 

In the world of marketing, there’s no end to the number of things you can do to promote yourself and your business, so it makes sense that vehicle wraps may not be the first thing you think of. Based on the following stats, however, you may want to put more thought into getting a vehicle wrap. 

  • Vehicle wraps generate anywhere from 30,000 – 70,000 impressions a day on the road
  • Mobile advertising, like vehicle wraps, generates 2.5 times more leads than a standard billboard.

Based on these numbers, it’s easy to see why small businesses would want to invest in vehicle wraps. 

 

Only For Large Businesses?

 

Many small businesses owners will be turned off by the idea of vehicle wraps as they think they are only meant for large companies with large vehicle fleets. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Even if your business doesn’t own a company vehicle, you can still wrap a personal vehicle with your business’s name or slogan. 

Not taking advantage of vehicle wraps for your small business is a mistake as it helps legitimize and show the local area your business and logo.

 

How Do Vehicle Wraps Compare?

 

According to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America, vehicle wraps are a form of “outdoor advertising”. This form of advertising is considered to be the most effective and efficient way of advertising outside of the home. Vehicle wraps reach more consumers at a much lower price than any other form of outdoor advertising.

On average, you’ll be paying four cents for every thousand impressions. Compared to billboards, signs, and other forms of advertising, this is an extremely valued way of advertising.
