Hey all! This is what my new decal looks like on the back of my Sportage. I got the PC part of it from Merrill, and the rest from JeriSigns.com I am really hoping to get leads from this....just another way to get my name out there!

It looks great!! Be sure to keep lots of catalogs in your car for when you are parked somewhere and approached by customers!!
 
Wow, that looks great. Was it hard to apply?

No!! In fact, I was so excited to put it on, that the day I applied them it was quite windy and I am probably lucky that I got them on straight!! I was like a kid on Christmas morning and I didn't want to wait! LOL
 
That's great. I wasn't sure if we were allowed to advertise like that. I might have to do something like this.
 
I love that Kelly, it looks great. Is that done from the inside or outside?
Good luck with it, hope you get lots of business! I may have to do it as well.
 
We are allowed to advertise like that- you should see my director's PC-mobile!!!

BTW, my decal from JeriSigns.com WITH shipping was less than $12...and the Merrill decal (not including their outrageous shipping...I ordered other things on that order...)was $10!

So, for less than $25 I have a pretty darn nice looking decal on my vehicle! I am VERY happy!

It's on the outside! If it was inside, I don't think you could see it due to the fact that my side/back windows are all pretty dark!

We just can't use the PC logo except through a licensed vendor. So, since I ordered the logo through Merrill, I am fine!
 
I thought about a decal but my back window (Ford Focus) is at such an angle that I don't think you would be able to see it real well
 
Hey Kelly, that looks AWESOME!! I'm gonna get me one. :D

On the Merrill site, where did you find the logo so BIG? The one I ordered from Merrill is like 5 inches across. Hmm.
 
Is it a Cling or Vinyl Lettering??
 
Looks great! I've been trying to decide it I want to do this to my car too.
 
I was wondering if we could write off our car payment as advertisement? I have a PC friend who has permanent pc info on both sides and back of her SUV. Her tax girl saw no problem writing it all off as advertisement. I just purchased a new SUV (Outlander!!!) and spoke to my tax man about adding the PC info and he said no way.

We both live in the same state. She got a killer refund.

Does anyone know?
 
That's what I was thinking...I thought that was why Realtors and such put their logo on their cars....doesn't it then become like a business vehicle? I am not good at this kind of stuff but I thought you could...definately worth looking into..
 
She wrote off more than $400 a month. Her husband and her had over a $10,000 refund! I am thinking $391 times 12 would ROCK!! Because, right now, that payment is kind of scaring me.

Buyers Remorse is what they call it. It only lasts until I get in it and love the sweet ride!!

On Merrills site, it says Window Decal and it's 4" tall x 11" long
Here's the item number: 714000500
It is an actual clear sticker that stick directly onto the window. Honestly, the lettering that Jeri made me looks like they will stay on better than the PC logo. I think the logo will stay on for a long time, but not years and years...the lettering looks/seems like it will NOT come off till I purposely TAKE it off!
 
and could we still claim our miles?
 
That looks great!!! Please keep up posted on the responses/leads you get from your marketing strategy.
 
Kelly, which did you order from Jeri Signs.com? The cling on or the vinly lettering & how did you get it so cheap? The one I saw wasn't bad but it was $17.50..unless I am looking at the wrong thing. Sorry for all the questions...

Don't be sorry for the questions! Here is what my order says...

1 ea. Vinyl Lettering By The Sq. Ft.
Color 1 - White
Sign Information - www.PamperedChef.biz/KellysPage
330-877-6370

This is what I wrote in the "comments" section when I ordered.
(If you order from her, you can tell her you want it the same as she made mine, which was order #1360) I have a decal for The Pampered Chef (4 inches tall x 11 inches long) from one of our authorized vendors. I would like to get the vinyl stick on letters to place under my logo sticker. It can be a total of 2 feet long and 4 inches tall. I would like my website listed on the first line (centered) and then my phone number on the second line (centered.) Do you have a font that would "match" the Pampered Chef logo font? Thanks!
 
Thanks Kelly!

Krissy~

Thanks for the compliment! Hope to meet you at conference, too! I am so excited with this company how much everyone wants to SHARE and help one another! If I found a good deal, I just want to pass it along to others so their business can benefit too!
 
Just a word of caution re: advertising on your vehicle -

In Michigan, if you advertise on your vehicle, it automatically becomes a Business Vehicle, and your insurance rates SKYROCKET!!!! You might want to check w/ your insurance company before putting decals on your car!

The PC one is fine, it's only when you start listing contact info, etc......(at least in Michigan - I/m sure it differs by state.)
 
Woohoo! I just ordered mine, exactly like you said. Thanks a bunch for the suggestion, Kelly!
