Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
I can't believe it's taken me quite so long but I finally pulled my finger out, got in touch with a local car graphics company and today picked up my little Toyota with my logo on it, it's not perfect but it's a great first attempt It's all vinyl cut and I was amazed at the detail on the logo, I didn't think it would come out. I was thinking about getting the GCF logo on there but perhaps less is more, it's a funny little car and now it's got my details on it I'm sure people will do a "double take", hopefully.

Looks good. I prefer the simplicity of the sides to the back.
What did you pay for it?

I know a framer in Singapore who also puts his details on the roof of his van.
Explaining.... many tall buildings and double decker buses from which people will see his ad.

Re: Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
Mention what you've done to your accountant next time you talk. I'm unsure of the rules, but ours bought it up a while ago.

Re: Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
Nice job. How about a blingy frame around the number plates? Can't touch ya for it. In fact if you got some poly moulding you could bend it around the wheel arches and windows.

Re: Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
Had vinyl wraps/signs put on our car and it has certainly drawn attention. Had people coming to us after taking a photo of car rear when following us in traffic and handed out loads of cards when parking the car; many of which have resulted in sales.
Our accountant needed no persuading to offset the cost against advertising.

Re: Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
Good thinking. What is a car but a mobile advertising hoarding. Billboards in Piccadilly circus cost an absolute bomb to rent. So have a drive round central London and get ya money's worth.

Re: Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
Offset the whole cost of the car? Maybe I need to stick a business card in the window and get back on to my accountant.
Re: Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
Just by a van, completely offset and you can also carry finished frames in it. It also has the advantage of the wife not borrowing it and no room for the kids

Re: Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
We have a van - you're right it is great for carrying frames (it's a long wheelbase VW Transporter), but funnily enough it's in my name not his (so in our case it's the husband borrowing it) and I happily carry the kids in it as it has 6 seats

Re: Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
I bought this car 2 years ago and I thought then that my logo would look good on the wide flat doors, not too sure why I left it so long though, it's a funny looking little car and people always do a double takepramsay13 wrote:Offset the whole cost of the car? Maybe I need to stick a business card in the window and get back on to my accountant.
Because of the low emissions of the car, my Accountant said it was 100 % deductible against the business but as of yet I haven't done so. I am no longer with an Accountant so was wondering if I can offset the price of the car against my 2013/2014 tax return ? I'm a Sole Trader and not VAT registered. I wouldn't offset the price I paid for it in 2012, just the depreciated value of it in 2013.
Has anyone had to do anything like this before ?
Any advice gratefully received,
Thanks, Adam

Re: Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
I would say get your self a good accountant it will save you in the long run. A good accountant is like a decent piece of kit in the workshop. I have seen to many friends and customers struggling to pay large tax bills because they didn't take the advice of a decent accountant.
