Advertising is something that every small business owner struggles with at one point or another and I am certainly among that crowd. Sr22quotes.com is a website that allows high-risk drivers to easily compare multiple sr22 insurance quotes. I was looking for a way to get local, regional, and national exposure for the website without the expense of television or radio.

Last year we purchased a Hummer H2 SUT specifically to become a mobile billboard. Auto Trim Design of Cape did a fantastic job of applying the vinyl graphics and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

The vehicle wrap on the Hummer has turned out to be a great investment. I must say that it was even cheaper than I originally thought it would be. Unlike a traditional billboard, the wrapped Hummer can be put about anywhere and generate some free advertising. We consistently make sales to new customers who have specifically responded to the truck graphics.

Strategically placing the truck at sporting events, rodeos, and shopping malls has been very productive. It gets people to the website and repeatedly serves as a conversation starter. When parked in front of our Cape Girardeau Insurance Agency, commuters even see the vehicle wrap before they see our actual building sign and I didn’t even need a city permit for my “Hummer mobile billboard”.

As our operation has grown, getting customers from outside of Cape Girardeau has become critical. Driving the sr22quotes.com Hummer to a Cardinals game, Six Flags, or the Memphis Zoo provides some great advertising opportunities in the city. I can always measure the immediate impact of such a trip by reviewing our website analytics.

The staff at Auto Trim was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. We are now looking forward to adding a second wrapped vehicle to our advertising strategy.

Unless you are my competitor, I would highly recommend getting a vehicle wrap from Auto Trim Design for your business. It has proven to be a very good decision for me.
