One of the classified essential services was the automotive industry. It was pretty clear that we need transportation. Gas stations remained open; service joints stayed open. Even car dealerships were opening before restaurants. Regardless of how you might feel about the openings and closings, it’s undeniable that transportation is absolutely essential. We need transportation to function and live our lives.

If you’re feeling like Goldilocks and lightweight deal jackets are too fragile, but heavyweight deal jackets take up too much space, perhaps our color code sale jackets are the solution you’re looking for. These sale jackets are a medium weight, sturdier than lightweights and slimmer than heavyweights. These sale jackets are however specifically compatible with our color-code organizational system (Auto-filing system), which is its major difference from the heavy and lightweight deal jackets. The auto-filing system is a color coded organizational sticker system that matches letters, numbers, months, years, and makes with colored stickers, making for an easy, ready-made filing system. Light and Heavyweight deal jackets are not specifically designed to be used with the color-code auto-filing system, but are still compatible with them. These deal jackets can also be organized by simply writing information on the edges of the jacket. The information on the front of the deal jackets varies slightly, but all relevant information can be found on any of our selections. If you need specialized information, or none of these options sound quite right, custom deal jackets are also available. Custom deal jackets can be light or heavy weight, with any information you need printed on the front. Custom deal jackets can also be set up for use alongside the color-code auto-filing system.

• 1. Avoid cars with salvage titles. Salespeople may try to convince you the salvage title means nothing, and sometime it does, but more often than not, salvaged cars can have lasting frame and structural damage which can cause a plethora of issues, especially in the case of a new accident. Prior damage can cause the car to warp and crumple in odd ways if you get in another accident, which can cause the car to total out more easily, if not put your life in danger.
• 2. Have a professional take a look. Sometimes there are hidden issues with used cars, especially older ones. Before buying, have someone with knowledge of cars take a look at it and point out any pressing issues.
• 3. Get the Carfax. While it sounds stereotypical, Carfaxes contain a lot of vital information in an easily understood format. You won’t have to be a professional to understand the issues the car may have.
• 4. Check prior service records. If you can get ahold of the car’s prior service records, it will give you a great idea of the previous issues with the car, as well as any red flag issues.
• 5. Do your research. Research the make, model, and year of the car you’re considering. The internet is a fantastic resource. You can discover common issues, depreciation and value via a quick Google search. Know the Kelly bluebook value of the car you’re considering. Knowing what its worth will help you avoid being ripped off.
• 6. Test-drive the car. While this seems like common sense, test-driving the car gives you the experience that is so often necessary to your decision. Driving the car will show you firsthand if the pedals are sticky, the engine makes a funny noise, the steering pulls to the right or any other driving issues.
• 7. Certain issues are worse than others. Avoid cars with flood damage, airbag issues, and frame damage, as these are expensive to fix and are can often put your life in danger.
• 8. Avoid odometer rollback fraud. There are many ways to avoid be tricked by this classic fraud. Having a mechanic look at the car is the best method, as they will notice things you won’t about the condition of the car. The state of other parts can be used to determine how many miles should be on the car as well. If the odometer says 40,000 miles but the spark plugs need replacing, the mileage may be closer to 100,000.
• 9. If your gut says it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Doing your research is really helpful here, but if you feel the deal is too good, bordering on fishy, it’s okay to walk away, you’re probably right.
• 10. Avoid curbstoners. Curbstoning is the illegal practice of pretending to be a car’s owner to sell it while avoiding state regulations on auto dealerships. Curbstoners often rip off customers, profiting on each sale by cutting corners. These tactics include not obtaining the necessary insurance, licenses and permits, and pocketing money that should rightly go to city, state and federal government. It isn’t unusual for a successful curbstoner to sell three or four cars in the span of a few weeks by listing cars under the “for sale by owner” or “private party” sections of online classified listings. They may even invent elaborate excuses to explain why they are selling a car that they don’t have any records or history for, including the title.

Affixing a sleek, eye-catching plate emblazoned with your dealerships name, logos, slogans, and perhaps contact information, exposes thousands of drivers a day to your brand. Every time that fresh-off-the-lot vehicle zooms along the highway to work, drops the kids off at school, or parks downtown for a night out, countless drivers and pedestrians see your dealership’s name and information as they pass by. Every time a past or potential customer sees one of your custom license plates, your brand is reinforced in their brains. Greater exposure leads to a familiarity with your dealership that builds a trusting relationship, so that when these people are ready for a new vehicle, your name is the first one to visit.

Custom license plates can also play a huge role in facilitating word-of-mouth advertising. Imagine; a friend of yours has just bought a wonderful new or used vehicle. The two of you are standing outside admiring the shiny vehicle, while your friend rattles on about how smooth she drives and all the special features she’s loaded down with. You notice the license plate on the front of the car looks familiar; you’ve seen many cars driving down the road with them. Perhaps you’re in the market for a new car yourself. You ask your friend about the dealer, and they rave about the incredible service, pricing, and experience at the dealer. You decide to check it out next time you go car hunting. Providing custom license plates alongside your already fantastic service will provide an easy conversational transition to the amazing car buying experience that comes along with your brand.

Reusable Balloons are more durable than their disposable latex counterparts, because they are built to last anywhere from 6 months to a full year. They are specially designed to withstand temperature fluctuations with minimal sagging, and also fare better in windy environments, due to their sturdy composition. Another factor into the sturdiness of reusable balloons is the fiberglass rod that holds them up, preventing them from being viciously blown about in the wind. No special tools are required to install the fiberglass pole kit, and if you lack landscaping space, or wish to display reusable balloons indoors, there are specially made sand and water bases that can be ordered. The fiberglass rod also negates he need for helium, which is where you save the most money on reusable balloons. In most areas the average cost to fill a standard latex balloon with helium is over 1$ apiece. Because of this cost, reusable balloons generally pay for themselves within the first two weeks. Because they are made of plastic, not latex, reusable balloons can be completely deflated and stored in between uses. Reusable balloons do have to be replaced around every 6-12 months, when the colors begin to fade, especially bright colors, like red, tend to fade faster. Reusable balloons also should be cleaned when they start to show dirt and grime, as this will make the color and shine last longer.

Latex Balloons also have a distinct set of advantages and disadvantages associated with their use. Latex balloons are lighter weight, and more versatile. Because of their lighter weight and smaller size, latex balloons can be used in more contexts, for example latex balloons can be affixed to pennant strings, which can be seen from much further away than when reusable balloons are affixed to 2 or 4 foot poles. Latex balloons are lightweight and attached to string or ribbon, which makes them easy, convenient, and quick to set up. The convenience of a disposable product, that doesn’t require cleaning or storage after use can be attractive, especially in a busy atmosphere like an auto dealership. Latex balloons also tend to be oval or egg shaped, like a traditional balloon, than reusable balloons, which are generally more circular in shape. Latex balloons, however, tend to have more detrimental reactions to extreme weather and temperature shocks, and must be filled with expensive helium in order to float. Changes in temperature also cause the helium to change volume, which can make latex balloons sag, due to their supple surface.

Hopefully this breakdown has helped you determine if you need the durability and money saving ability of a reusable balloon, or if the versatility and convenience of a traditional latex balloon suits your dealership best.

One of the least expensive and most effective forms of advertisement is word-of-mouth advertising; when a customer tells other prospective consumers about a great company, great product, and great service. Custom license plate frames, keychains, decals, pens and apparel are all excellent ways to facilitate word-of-mouth advertising. When someone buys a new car fitted with a custom dealership license plate frame and dealer decal, which naturally directs the conversation towards your business and the service experienced by the consumer. A friend may notice the new car owner’s logo cap and ask about the dealership or buying experience, which gives the new car owner an opportunity to rave about the amazing service and hitch-free car buying experience provided.

Custom Promotional Products also provide multiple exposures for your brand. If a customer uses a promotional pen from your dealership to write every day, your brand is reinforced to them every single time they look at the pen. Effective frequency, an advertising term meaning amount of exposures to an advertising message that are required to achieve effective communication, is extremely high with Custom Promotional Items. The recognition of brands is also aided by the use of custom promotional items. By starting with a blank slate product, and adding in fun graphics, eye-catching colors, and dealership information, you can build a positive image of your brand. When your logo is included on custom promotional items and spread around, people begin to recognize the logo, and are more likely to buy from a company whose name and image they recognize. That is simply human nature, seeking the familiar. Custom promotional items come in many forms, which allows for easy, targeted advertising.

The best return on investment comes from concentrating on a specific audience that can either use your product or influence others to see it. For example, mailing pens marked with your dealership’s name to the employees that work in a prominent local investment company, where many may be in the market for a new car, or giving away t-shirts with a company logo to students in a college town.  Giving away custom promotional items or apparel is also a method of good-will advertising. Competing dealerships often sell the same cars at similar prices, so what sets you apart? Outstanding service, of course, but sometimes it can be as simple as giving a few canvas totes decorated with dealer logos, or a ball cap stitched with your brand name. These small gifts can set your dealership a cut above competitors.

It can be agreed that custom promotional items are an effective, low-cost method of advertising, considering all the ways these products reach current and potential accounts.

So when choosing who to buy these advertising aids from, wouldn’t you want to pick a company that understands your industry? With an Auto Dealership Supplier, that’s exactly what you’ll get.  Sales representatives at these specialized suppliers know the sales trends that affect dealerships, including regional and local trends.  They know what works and how to implement it. Because these types of companies work only with car dealerships, they always have the latest advertising aids ready to order, and keep the car dealership necessities in stock. Keeping a stock of these commonly ordered items, such as stock stickers and key tags, makes turn around and shipping time lightening quick.

Dealership suppliers work so closely with your dealerships that even your custom orders will take less time as we learn your orders, logos and product needs. Our insight and understanding of the dealership industry allows our reps to know what you need, even if you don’t. Working only with auto dealers allows dealership-specific suppliers to recognize products by their descriptions, and recommend products that would increase the effectiveness of your advertising.  As an added bonus, here at Carguys Promotional Inc., every dealership account has a designated and knowledgeable salesperson assigned for your account.

This allows your sales rep to learn your specific buying patterns, and alert you when you need to order more products. We know that car dealerships make their money in selling cars, and that spending hours upon hours, bogged down, trying to figure out which products need to be ordered can be detrimental to sales. By keeping track of your usage patterns and regularly ordered products, we make sure you don’t have to lose any valuable time on the sales floor.

Every dealership has some form of on-lot advertising. Every dealership should order their products for on-lot advertising in the most efficient manner possible.
