Should your car "SCREAM" the message, REALTOR on board?

I think I know where you are headed with this. Although we want to brand ourselves as much as we can. Do we really want to to do it in the same vein as plumbers, electricians, and the like. You make a good point doctors and lawyers don't do it. We expect those other professionals to brand themselves the way they do. We are dealing with a higher end product than the vast majority of businesses out there. I feel the value we have to offer is not just our name and picture on the side of our vehicle. It's in what we can do for our clients, putting that on the side of your vehicle, just does'nt make sense to me.

That's a good one. I for one never had any signs on the car. Thought about it a lot, but decided against. I still think that tis could be done, tere is a south florida realtor, who also has a sign company and a truck, so when he did not need the truck for business, he would put the truck in the parking lot of a mall, so that people see it. He claimed this worked, and I have no reason not to believe him. However, magent signs on the door are cheap stuff/

I have a tailgate wrap.  It gets noticed.  Brand-building.

I also have a car with only a Keller Williams license plate on the front and a personal license plate frame, and that is all I will likely put on the car.

I have considered paying folks a monthly fee to wrap THEIR cars.

The Pennsylvania Realtor monthly magazine had an article about personalized advertising on cars this month. A buddy of mine's decked out PT Cruiser was one of the 3 featured vehicles with pictures.

The only problem is that he lost his third transmission in the PT back in June and the car has been parked in his company's parking lot since then (he's the broker) and he purchased a new SUV that hasn't been personalized yet.

While I have never received a call from it, it is effective for branding and name recognition.  While interviewing with another broker after only a year in business he nearly fell out of the chair.  You see, I drive by his neighborhood almost daily and he has been seeing that darn thing for a year straight almost daily and it was pounded in his head that he saw it more than that:  for years and years and years.

Tacky?  Maybe.  Psychologically effective?  Most definitely! 

Your cardiologist went to four years of college, four years of med school, and then did a two-four year residency.  Realtors got to school for one week. 

I'm a college graduate as well, but if putting my company's contact information on my car gets me one sale a decade, I'm going to do it.  I'm not that proud.
