22 October 2008 – Smart cars get a style-over
Smart is one of only a few cars that stands out on today’s increasingly crowded roads. One of the smallest cars in the UK it has the biggest personality and a persona all of its own. With smart enjoying record sales this year though there are increasing numbers of coupes, cabrios and BRABUS on the roads. Your smart may not be the only car in town for long.
So if you want to make your smart car even more individual and give it an original new look all of its own, vinyl graphics could be just the thing.
Businesses and private owners are using vinyl graphics to make their smart cars really stand out. Forget the clumsy lettering and wonky company logos of a few years ago, advances in print technology mean literally anything can be printed onto self-adhesive vinyl. Full colour high-resolution images, product shots, corporate branding, the possibilities are endless.
Vinyl graphics are a low-cost way to promote your business in and around your local area. A specialist company can easily apply and remove them, so you can update your marketing message as frequently as you like.
Full vehicle wrapping is popular with smart car owners and there are several companies that specialise in designing graphics that cover your smart from head to toe for a bold and eye-catching effect.
For businesses this means great marketing benefits. Vinyl graphics can be effective for:
Product launches
New business opening
Special event or promotion
Brand awareness
Corporate identity
Staff motivation
You can be as bold as you like, choosing to completely wrap your smart car, covering all the original bodywork, or go for something a little more subtle like a graphic or logo on the doors or bonnet. You could even use vinyl graphics to completely change the colour of your smart car.
A far cheaper option than a professional respray, provided the condition of your paintwork is pristine when the graphics are applied, the vinyl acts as a protective skin to shield your bodywork from minor scuffs, scratches and fading. When you’re ready to change the design again or want to remove the graphics altogether they can be carefully removed to restore your smart to its original colour and condition.
This means contract hire and car leasing vehicles can also be branded up with your company’s promotional message or corporate livery. Providing the vinyl graphics are professionally applied and removed, rather than causing damage to the contract hire car, they could actually protect the bodywork from tear and wear that may otherwise result in an expensive repair bill at the end of the contract hire agreement.
