How your truck can be your salesman…www.mytakeacard.com
Increase your sales with this addition to your marketing campaign
I have found a fantastic new product that I have to share with the green industry. Pictured to above is a clear plastic business card holder that affixes to your vehicle, store front, signs…you name it.
I received mine a week ago and installed it right away. It went on very easy using adhesive strips. I would recommend that you measure and level where you want it on your vehicle to avoid crooked placement. It also comes with a handy “Take A Card” vinyl graphic to go above or below your holder…I put mine above the holder.
The holders are made from durable plastic and are virtually water proof. They have a strong spring snap down lid that won’t let water in. Trust me we have had sever thunderstorms here in Central Ontario for the past week and my business cards are still bone dry. I would recommend that you take out the cards if you pressure wash your vehicle as the extreme water pressure will cause the flap to lift if you are not careful.
I’ll post a photo to show it on my work truck. I placed the holder on my rear door window for maximum visibility.

The card holder works for you when you are not around. At the jobsite, hardware store, buying groceries, the mall…it will hand out your business card for you 24/7, just as long as you keep it stocked up. I put 10 business cards in mine eight days ago now and refilled it up today…seven were missing, I am very pleased.
These card holders also come in different styles. One with different color lids to stand out. And if you really want an impact the round holder jumps off the page making sure potential clients take your card.

Just to let everyone know that this is not a sales pitch and I am not collecting any profits from sales here. This is just my honest opinion about a great product. It still amazes me that the simplest of products are usually the best ideas.
EDIT: About 15 minutes after I posted this I received my first phone call from a woman that took my card while I was shopping yesterday evening. I now think I need another one for the passenger side. Everyone that owns a business needs one of these. If you have any direct questions or comments please post them here or email us at office@thelawnblog.com

Nice innovation to promoting the lawncare business! But, isn’t it a costly idea to further promote the business?

Not too sure what you mean about that comment. Care to explain?

Seems to work for realtors selling houses. I’d think it’s a good idea, but I’m not sure how well it would catch people’s attention. A business card is a bit small to notice on the side of a truck.

It costs next to nothing, so why would you not do this?

We use an extra truck at a site some times as billboard if you will and the phone business increases for sure. Keep the innovation coming

Our son did this same basic thng on his vehicle for a window cleaning business, with either cards or flyers. And it definitely works, provided it’s waterproof in Oregon where there is plenty of mist, fog or rain to dampen cards.

Well here in Ontario, Canada the rain has been non stop for over 2 weeks now…and the cards are still dry and this thing just keeps on working! I have another one for the other side now too. I still recommend.

Good post. I too am going into the trucking business and finding out the recruiters are full of BS. I found prices ranging from $6900 to $2500 for truck driving school. Since I have had some experience with driving heavy trucks(concrete mixer) all I want is the license and endorsements. I am paying cash for my training so I won’t have to be beholden to any company. I’m still looking for a good company to start with. Any thoughts?

It is a handy tool. I use them for wrapped vehicles placed in trade shows.
