Sign Writing on vans

[Jock Spanners]

Good afternoon eveyone,

I've never bothered to have my vans sign written - mainly because I know so many tradesmen who've had them broken into. I feel (rightly or wrongly) that it's like painting "Rob Me!" on the side. Possibly I'm being paranoid. Can anyone persuade me it's a good idea?

Depends if you want people phoning you up for work it's free advertising

And tbh any van these days are targeted esp if you have a ford

Erm , Its swings and roundabouts pal , you look professional turning up in one , it may get you work , but yes little scrotes love bending your doors and nicking your gear .
Mines signwritten , but on the next swap , I probably wont bother.

I would not agree that it makes you look professional. the work that you do ensures that

The key word there is LOOK, people in general make their mind up about other people within the first two minutes, that is a proven fact.

I find it does create work as the neighbours get nosy when you're working next door to them, my one piece of advice is never put your land line number on it or expect phone calls late Sunday nights! Magnets are good, removable and transferable so if you get a new van you wont have to fork out on new signage.
