What the Big Players Do with Fleet Graphics

What the big players do with fleet graphics is no secret. Just look around. Let’s say  you manage or own a small business with a growing fleet of vehicles. It may be 50 delivery box trucks, 20 service vans, or 10 Class 8 tractor-trailers. Your business may be construction, HVAC, or computer technology. You may be a local delivery service or over the road LTL trucking company. It doesn’t matter—it’s hard to compete with the big guys and gals advertising. National corporations have marketing budgets that are beyond your means. They advertise on TV, radio, and in print. They have in-house or hire outside Public Relations firms to get their names mentioned in the press. How can a small business compete with that? It’s difficult. However, there is one way you can be just like the big players—fleet graphics. With fleet graphics what the big players do you can too.

What the Big Players Do with Fleet Graphics

Playing with the big kids

Vehicle graphics is one of the most effective and cost saving forms of advertisement. Why haven’t you wrapped your company vehicles? It’s also one form of advertising where a small business can compete with larger players. You may not have as many vehicles on the road as the top companies in your field, but your fleet can look as professional and send a message the same as the biggest organizations in the world. So how do the big shots do it?

Red Gold Go Big and Bold

Red Golds fleet is big and bold. Their tractor-trailers are hard to miss. Covered with tomatoes, product labels, children, and sometimes even butterflies, they get their message across.  “Exceptional quality and operational excellence are the shared values that contributed to the employee-created mission statement: ‘To produce the freshest, best tasting tomato products in the world.’ ” How big are they? Red Gold doesn’t publish earnings; however industry insiders guesstimate revenues of more than $500,000,000. That’s big in our book.  Fleet Graphics Lesson: If it fits your business don’t be afraid to go big and bold.

Quest Global They got it covered

The Quest Global tractor trailer combo is covered front to back and top to bottom. The Quest logo is featured on the cab in red and the trailer in white. The red and white stripes sweep down to the trailer skirt and back up to the trailer. It’s striking and memorable. Quest Global has more than 400 refrigerated trailers shipping delicate cargo from coast to coast. The trailers average more than 250,000 miles a year each, for a total of 100,000,000 miles. That’s a lot of miles.  Fleet Graphics Lesson: Cover as much of your vehicle as needed to send your message.

Knight Transportation It’s fit for a king!

Knight Transportation tractor- trailers are regal. It oozes royalty; it’s the knight of the road. My wife and I recently drove from Indianapolis to Orlando and back and I don’t think we missed one of these trailers. They are easy to recognize, and they stand out. They’re the King of the road. Knight has grown from humble beginnings to more than 4,000 tractors, 8,000 trailers, and 5,000 associates. Fleet Graphics Lesson: Share a positive Image that fits your brand.

Bar Keepers Friend Simple is Elegant

Bar Keepers Friend fleet graphic says it all with a logo and a name. Simple, yet there’s more to it. The design, colors, font, and logo all blend leaving a lasting positive impression. The Bar Keepers Friend trailer wrap is hard to miss. Wrapped from top to bottom in sky blue with a wide darker blue stripe fading into the lighter blue, it grabs your attention. Once someone is drawn to the wrap, they can’t help but notice the Bar Keepers Friend branded logo. The tagline “Once Tried, Always Used” leads the eye to the images of BKF products. Fleet Graphics Lesson: Keep it simple.
