van sign writing

[townfanjon]

Sorry to hijack. How much roughly should one expect to pay for a sign written van??

It depends on if the price incorporates a design, mine ended up costing around £300.
I ended up paying to much because I ended up doing the design / dimensions etc .

if you go in with your own design expect to pay £ 180/£ 250

If you are really tight, you can get magnetic signs, so when you change vehicles, the sign comes with you.

That's what I did as I was thinking of doing a bit of subbing work. I think I paid £70 for 2 signs so when I was starting out it was brilliant now I just want the van properly done as I think it will look smarter.

A spark's van in Coventry has a massive screwdriver on top going the full length of his van with details on the screwdriver handle. Looks great.

Ive seen a van like that round mine, it looked good but id just forget about it and drive into a car park or under a low bridge

I was told by a marketing guy in a previous role that if you list bullet points on any advertising or van, the customer views that sub consciously as an absolute list. For example if you list boiler repairs, boiler servicing on your van, customers do not associate you with anything else. I stick with company name, contact details and any accreditation i want to promote such as gas safe etc.

I was thinking of going simple and clean on the front and sides
And maybe listing a few things on the back doors that I do other than plumbing like
Tiling Flooring Kitchens and such?

Go steady. Eight words maximum is a good rule of thumb for effective outdoor advertising. People do lose interest after that and they don’t have much time to read it. Keep it simple.
Here’s a bit an eye full:
