    Paper Floor Mats

    I need to buy "Thank You" paper floor mats for when I return customer`s vehicles. I saw several deals on Am*zon.com, but still a bit pricey for paper! Any local stores (walmart,target,HD...etc.) sell these? Any ideas?

    Thanks Guys!!

    I broke down and bought the 3M ones from AG for around $35 bucks.. yeah quite expensive for 250 of them, but I only use them If I shampoo the carpets.. If need be I can post a pic of what they look like.

    This is a neat idea. Does anyone have pictures of these paper mats?

    I don`t use them. I think they look cheap and cheesy when someone pays top dollar to get their vehicle detailed. I always use an old terrycloth bath towel and just take it with me. People wanna see clean carpets not a throw away piece of paper that may be covering up something in the hardest area of an interior carpet to clean. JMO

    This...

    I cannot stand it when I take my car to a shop and they stick those little pieces of paper down on the ground that I end up crumpling up. If you want something that will last, then get some refridgerator magnets that say "Thank you".
    Get your shine on!

    Re: Paper Floor Mats

    I appreciate the comments fellas...

    - Colinpd137 I`ll check those out.
    - Mike, thanks so much man... If the current place I`m talking to doesnt work out I`ll definitely contact Eric.
    - As for not being a fan of the "paper mats" I can see your point guys, but I feel it`s another good way of saying thanks to your customers. I`ve actually been returning cars with the towel down and just taking it out, which does work fine, but expressing your appreciation on paper can go a long way...!

    I should mention also 90% of the time I don`t leave these mats inside the car when customer picks it up. I use the mats for myself when I have to re-enter the vehicle after its spic-&-span and don`t want to run the risk of leaving shoeprints on the mats or tracking dirt in. Also when delivering a Vehicle

    Re: Paper Floor Mats

    When I see the mats (as after a car service), I do think at least they half way seem to care about messing up the carpet however they are so flimsy and look cheap. If they were more substantial, it may change the impression.

    As a thank you gift, a magnet seems much more effective since people do not keep the throw away paper.

    While I use the paper mats for myself they are out of the car on delivery.
    I wanted something though in a clients hand so I had full color brochures and magnets made.

    It has helped on referrals they either give a friend one or the other.

    I ordered mine from a local Subaru dealership and paid about $35 for 500. They included my order when they ordered for the dealership.
