Bumper Stickers (effective or not)

13 years ago

In Aus there aern't many bumper sticker advertisements, however there are window advertisements where people put ads on their rear windows, they use a special type of sticker so that the image is fully visible from the outside yet they can still see out of the windows.

There's companies that even organise ordinary people to rent their window space out for businesses to advertise on so when they drive around it's like a mobile bill board

Bumper stickers would be pretty hard to read in traffic.

Thanks

I have the name of my side-line PC Repair company on my car. It works great and didn't cost me anything because I gave the guy running the vinyl sign-writing shop some marketing assistance.

I have gained around £500 of business fixing a couple of computers in just 30 days or so from adding them to my car. So yes, I think it does work - as long as you're not stuck on motorways/freeways where you're driving too fast for people to be able to notice and take in your message. I'm based in a city and I tend to do most of my driving in and around the city, thus plenty of opportunity for people to see it.

Oh and just remember - don't drive like an idiot if you get it done!

Bumper stickers and window decals have been effective for quite a few years; long before the internet was invented.

Recently though I've had my cars professionally wrapped which is extremely powerful in heavy traffic.

Great!!! I needed some re-assurance... does anyone here know of any online decal stores where you can buy in bulk? I know vistaprint offers great service but they are pretty pricy.

Signs on your car or bumper might work - why do you need a lot of them? Would other people be willing to put bumper sticker on their car to advertise your website?

Just asking because I knew an (idiot) marketer a few years ago who decided the best way to advertise his mlm was to put stickers on cars in shopping center parking lots. Big fine - big problem - really dumb guy.

Haha, I would never attempt something so stupid. I have 5 people interested and 2 reside in new york city so I can just imagine the traffic I can receive from them driving around in a busy city, my goals are much much bigger tho. I still have a lot of work to do before the launch but the pre-launch is somewhat ready. Wish I had the money to purchase a bunch of high quality stickers ready to ship. I am confident this will work.

MillionairePete,

You're saying you can't afford to buy the 7 stickers to test? They really are not very expensive.

I'm in debt at the moment, as much as I don't like throwing that word around due to bad energy, I am focusing on getting out of it and my priorities are somewhat different at the moment. My sticker program experiment is on hold for now, I chose stickers because they are least expensive but I was originally looking at window decals, and I am still thinking of going back to it. I believe people would much rather have a small sticker then take up their window for the price I will be charging them.

Thanks

Well, I can tell you that it ain't no big secret that bumper stickers and decals really do work. You can even print one for next to nothing from any word processor onto an inkjet printer and try it out yourself on your car bumper or rear window. Just use cardstock or clear adhesive sheets. I actually have done that.

I have done the same, used magnets but due to the cold winter here they fell off haha, proper printing paper to use as a sticker for outdoor use is also very hard to find, the water started dripping the ink - it was the best two options I found - purchased and tested from staples office store here in Canada.

I would suggest the window advertisement if you're putting it on others cars, effective and easily removable.

Rear Window Graphics, Truck Window Graphics - Window Decals - Signazon

First site on google for the search "Rear window advertising"

I've never done much with bumper stickers, but I have seen companies that focus on this. Essentially, they pay people a small amount per month to have a bumper sticker on their car, and then they sell the "advertising space" to business owners.

I would suspect in a large enough metro and with enough bumper stickers, you (or a business) could get some results.

My concept is pretty similar but it is one that I believe no one has attempted before. The operating costs are very low, people will pay me to be in the program and by them paying shows loyalty, also I will follow up with them to make sure they arent cheating

You can do the back windshield of your car with vinyl lettering for about $60. I have found success with this method. Today... I ride a motorcycle... So I have shirts with my company name.... offer.... contact info... and call to action across the back.

So people behind me in traffic can't help but see it. Also.... people in line at starbucks... or where ever I may be....

This has proven successful.

As Paul said... it has been working since way before the internet.

Bumper Stickers...... I don't know.... Unless you put them on Power Line Poles at busy intersections....

I did a marketing campaign with small signs... 18x24 and zip tied them to signs and light poles near busy intersections.... Got a bunch of calls immediately..... made a few deals.... then code enforcement made me take them down.

Was really worth the money though.... Even if you did it over the weekend.... when code enforcement is off work.... you can get some leads then take them down Monday morning before they come along and throw them away....

Vehicle Wrapping looks great and really gives you a professional image. Unfortunately they average around $3,000 to have done.

BUT.... it is totally worth it...

Of course I can't speak for all motorists... but I see plenty of bumper stickers... magnets... door signs... everybody does it here in Dallas/Fort Worth. ALOT of them are pretty clever in how they display their information... but if I'm driving I will not remember the URL or phone number to this business even if I really need them... nor will I be able to write their information down.

So my personal opinion is (and this is just me...) I don't think they're effective.

Thank you for your opinion, I believe that if the message is targeted at the consumer the consumer will remember. There is a company already doing something similar called eyeearn.com check them out.

Is there anyone who has had any luck with bumper stickers or decals, that can share their knowledge? I am looking at generating traffic to my website from bumper stickers.

The thing is you need to have plan how much you want to spend on your advertising. If you think its a best option for bill board and you think you can afford it then yes why no Go for it. The only problem with that is your add will stay on 1 place .
If you have low budget and want more traffic then i think stickers will be best for you.

Bumper stickers are very effective. When I sit in traffic and when Im in parking lots I cant help but to look at bumper stickers. Just remember we are creatures of habit and we remember what we want to. So if your sticker is catchy and is offering something Im interested in. Im already partially sold.

I've seen that 0.0 and laughed at it too. I live San Antonio and I see those marathon stickers all the time. I think stickers would work. I was thinking about starting with a magnet for my car and then working up to maybe something in my back window.

I knew a woman who put a nice image on the back of her window that said lose 3 inches in 3 minutes with her phone number and she got calls.
