Auto promotional products for dealers, repair shops and agents

Reach people where they spend their time

Drivers keep a few things in the car and use them again and again: a scraper for a frosty morning, a phone holder on the dash, a tag on the keys. Because those items live in the car, your name rides along on every trip, and passengers see it too.

That makes auto items a natural fit for dealers, repair and body shops, tire centers, car washes, insurance agents and anyone whose customers drive.

What to choose

A scraper is one of the most useful items you can give. It gets used on the coldest mornings, when people most want to find it, and it is kept in the car all winter. A good one is remembered.

Phone mounts and holders are used every day, and they sit in plain view on the dash. Key tags and keychains are small and inexpensive, and they are seen every time someone picks up their keys. For a service shop, a small item such as a tag or a magnet can double as a reminder of the next appointment.

Choose by how your business meets its customers. A dealership might give a keychain at delivery. A repair shop might leave a tag on the keys. An insurance agent might hand out a phone mount at a community event.

The message

People glance at the item quickly, so keep the imprint short. Your business name, a phone number and a website are plenty. If you serve a local area, say so. Plain, high-contrast colors read better in a car than a subtle design.

Think about when someone will need you: after an accident, when a warning light comes on, when it is time to renew. A phone number that is easy to see is the most useful thing you can print.

Check size and build

Look at the item's size and material on the product page. A scraper should feel sturdy in the hand. A mount should suit common phones. Read the description, and compare the imprint area with the size of your logo.

Think about the conditions. Items kept in a car face heat, cold and sunlight. Choose materials that suit that, and look at the product page for details.

How many to order

Count your customers for the season, and add some for walk-ins and events. Seasonal items are in demand when the season arrives, so plan ahead, and think about keeping a reserve.

Look at the price breaks listed on each product page. The price per item falls at each level, so if you are close to the next break, ordering a little more usually lowers the price on every piece. Each item has its own minimum, shown on its page.

Mistakes to avoid

Choosing something no one needs in a car. Think about what a driver actually reaches for.

Printing too much. A phone number and a name beat a paragraph.

Waiting until the season starts. Plan early, check the stock and leave room for the proof.

Forgetting the date. If you need the order for an event or a promotion, tell us the date, and we will plan the order backwards from it.

How ordering works here

Choose the item and set the quantity. At the cart you add your logo or text, give the job a name, and confirm your email with a six-digit code. There is no account to create.

At checkout you give the delivery address, choose a standard order or a hard in-hands date, pick a shipping speed and pay. You then receive a free e-proof of exactly what will be printed. Nothing prints until you approve it, and you can cancel for a full refund before you do.

Questions we hear
