Magnetic signs and logo design

Does anyone know were to get magnetic signs for my truck to advertise my detailing business? I heard of some companies on the internet, but do not know of any.

Also I have priced around to get my logo designed and was shocked. Prices range from $300 to 1000. I have an idea for the design, but would like some assistance if anyone can point me to someone who can create it for me at a cheaper cost.

Try a web search for "logo design". You could probably design your own with a photoshop type program, or get the company doing your signs or business cards to whip something simple up for you.

If you have already designed and/or printed your business cards, you could use the artwork from that and have it turned into your magnetic signs.

Don't automatically discount the usefulness of your local printing and sign shops. The printing company I went to for my business cards has turned out to be an excellent source of helpful information. This company produces a 6-8 page monthly flyer with so very useful business and marketing ideas. They're going to do my bulk mailing and send my flyers to targeted neighborhoods and businesses. This company is helping me get my business going way beyond just my printing needs, more than I could have ever imagined.

Professionals use Photoshop to design stuff, so theres no reason why you cant.

I get the program for 'not alot' and the books to explain how to use it are cheap too.

Youll be surprised what you can do with it.

PM me and I'll send you some stuff.
