    Ha ha, good question!





    This tactic has fostered new business, and even two regulars..... Which I feel is not to bad considering how ineffective flyering (which this basically is) can be and also considering I do not do this all that often.. BUT when I see a vehicle I would like to do, you bet it’ll get a car.





    I should add that I never place them on the windshield but right above the drivers side door handle...



    I agree that when placed on the windshield it is quite annoying to sit in the car, realize it`s there and then remove.



    I should also add that I do not place paper business cards on vehicles. I do this because in Michigan it may begin to rain at any moment (slight exaggeration) and that can create a mess on the vehicle.

    Actually, I buy my TN and my detailing business ones online at VistPrint. Then I tediously laminate them with a business card laminator I bought at OfficeMax. It`s my extra touch to my cards and helps show I`m detail oriented:2thumbs:

    The ones I get from VP are color and have a graphic of a speedometer in the background. There`s 4 colors on mine. (Silver, black, white, red). VP is the cheapest way and they are decent (and high if you pay a little more) qaulity.

    Thanks for posting this! I`m running out of my first batch of cards which don`t have my site on it, so I`ll look into this for printing my next batch of newer and better looking cards.
