Car Wrapping

Have you ever wondered who is sporting the vehicles with the giant advertisements all over them? Have you ever wondered if that person driving the car thinks he’s cool with all of those stickers plastered everywhere? Well he might be more than cool.  He might even be smart, and he might not even work for the company that’s advertising on the side of his car.   How is he smart you ask? He may have found a company that’s willing to pay him to drive around in his car.  So what makes him so smart? Read this to find out.

Vehicle wrapping is a new form of advertisement that allows 3M vinyl wraps to cover a large portion if not the whole thing to the exterior of the car.  But there are some rules to consider. 

·      You need to be over 18

·      You must carry insurance

·      You must drive in a populated area

·      You need to park in a populated area

·      You need to drive more than 800 miles per month

If you think you have all those rules down and would like to learn more about car wrapping there are several websites that can tell you how to turn those stickers into cash.  Although we do not endorse these companies in any way, check out paidtowrap.com or just do a Google search on car wrapping.

You can check out some websites to find out more.  Most websites will guide you through the requirements. They can also help you locate advertisers that are looking for you to help spread the word and brand them.

If it all works out you might be able to drive your car for next to nothing.
