We love our car wraps.  It's a great way to help branding.  We always are hearing about all the places they saw us.  It's a great reminder!

I do think Wraps bring in business, and think even having Mags can get you a second look, and someone who might ask questions Matt Berman.  I would prefer the Mags, because I can take them off.

Years ago, during the tech boom, I had my car done in a wrap and rode around in it (freeway) for two plus years. The value was in the morale of the company seeing their name in lights. Nothing else. Tacky and in your face dynamics if seen today. Has a desperation flavor to it

Matt Berman - good for branding.

However, some towns consider it to be a commercial vehicle so there are some restrictions when you park etc.

I am not a fan of having anything that makes my vehicle easier to spot in a crowd, for "other profession" reasons.  No stickers and a generic plate bracket (actually none at all right now, which probably isn't good).

Depends on your market.  Would you clientele want to see you pull up in front of their home wrapped?  

Only saw one wrapped car in Erie; new broker trying to attract business.  That was about nine years ago.  Gone!

I just reported an agent that keeps parking in a townhouse community with one. They are against the rules in many areas because it's considered advertising. No trucks, cars with named advertising on it.

See if that impacts your decision.
