I like the whole thing, including the back. A classy job. In the immortal words of the great Fonzie: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

@Schmidt, Looks like you have some miles on the old van! Only thing I would add is your web site. Other than that its clean and visible! I love vans for advertising!

We still have both. The last time I moved AT & T said I needed to get a new buisness number, so I have to pay to have the old number forwarded. Over the last five years as I have things printed I change over to the new number. We have had the old number for 25 years & don't see me ever getting rid of it entirely.

With todays VOIP's and cheep 800 numbers. It is easier to use an 800 number and it gets forwarded to what ever land line or cell phone you have.

I have elected to go this route and your calls get an Auto Attendant (think voice mail jail ) Not sure which service I will be using but here is one phone (dot) com


Also remember with vehicle graphics. Its more about brand recognition than lead generation. Every time the see the truck or ad its being drilled into their head. When they actually call you and you ask (I hope you ASK!) how did you hear about us? If there answerer is not I just say your ad, just saw your truck or got a flier in the mail...then it was due to repetitive brand image.

My sincere apologies and thanks to Tom R, his van lettering looked so nice I borrowed some ideas....

Thanks I must add. Pricing on the wraps and lettering has come down dramatically.

We are doing 2 vans 1 dump truck and 2 pickups for about 5K. We got a few quotes all were in the same price range.

So is this part of RBS or are you entering a new venture?
