I have picked up new clients simply from the magnetic car sign I have on the back of my car.  I've performed notarizations in parking lots... one person went to local UPS store and their notary wasn't in, this person just happened to spot my sign and came running over to me.  Fellow notary Paul Williamson sells the magnetic signs in his webstore.

Another great way to advertise is on clothing.  I have 3 sweatshirts I wear to the grandkids soccer and baseball games (and around town on the weekends).  I have a huge logo on the back of them (covers the whole back) and I've received new customers from that.  I had them made at Queensboro Shirt Co.  I also have an embroidered canvas attache that hold everything really well - also from Queensboro.

I've often though about bodypainting "a car" - something like a VW to match my logo, and then put a big red feather on the antenna (or on the roof of the car like the Truly Nolan mice???)  Can't you just picture it?

I have a Notary Public Badge I wear all the time.  I got the badge from www.notaryclasses.com ( I work with them teaching students to pass the CA State Exam and Loan Signing Classes) for $17.95. I have gotten work from just wearing this badge.

I also have PAW auto signs on my car and have gotten business from the public.

I like the sweatshirt idea.

Thanks for the tip, Barbara. I'm going to order a couple of badges from Office Depot this weekend and when I get a new picture I'll order the one from Notary Classes.

Barbara, it's amazing isn't it, how the low technology methods can spread the word about your business?

Old fashion grassroots marketing works.  It is great to hear that the tried and true still pays dividends.

Continued success to you!

That has always amazed me since I did that several years ago, but I have certainly gotten enough business to pay for it as well!
