Speaker 1: (00:02)
Hey guys. Thanks for joining us. This is the highway man signs podcast, and this is your host, Kenny, I’m the owner and co-founder of highway man signs. This is the highway man signs podcast, your best Tulsa sign company in the Tulsa, Bartlesville, skiatook and surrounding areas here in Oklahoma.Yeah. Thanks for joining us. Uh, last time we talked about window graphics and, uh, all the different things we can do, uh, on windows of your business. So homework church, and, uh, yeah, we can talk about vehicle graphics and you may think didn’t, we already talk about vehicle graphics. We talked about, well, we talked about vehicle wraps. Um, those are graphics on a vehicle, obviously. Um, but no, we actually do kind of a subset and because, uh, there is a difference between just vehicle graphics and that’s a wrap and kind of where we’re going with that is a lot of people want to come in to talk about in wrap, but, you know, they just want a logo on their doors. Speaker 1: (01:05) You know, they don’t want to get a full rap and that’s okay. You know, uh, whatever your budget is, we can make it work. And, um, so here’s the cool part, uh, w basically what vehicle graphics are, and this is just a smaller version. It’s not a full coverage. Wrapper wrap is for full coverage, it’s for doing the entire vehicle, or we’re doing very large areas on a vehicle. Um, but yeah, the graphics are, uh, I mean, th that can be anything, but basically they start with kind of like your standard. Do you have a service truck or something like that? You want to get your logo on your doors, your truck, that’s a bit crap. It, uh, you’ve got a box truck. You want to put a big logo on the box of the truck, that’s vehicle graphics. Um, it doesn’t really classify as a wrap because you’re not doing full coverage. This is the highway man signs podcast, your best sign company in the Tulsa, Bartlesville, skiatook and surrounding areas here in Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: (01:47)
You’re not doing really large areas, but, you know, it’s different types of, of, um, you know, just different terms for, for certain things. So that’s just leave a little easier to, uh, make sure that we are communicating to you kind of, uh, the vernacular. So that way it’s easier for you to communicate to us what you’re needing, you know, because that’s what we want to do. We always want to make sure we set expectations. We want to make sure that we’re listening to you, the customer, and that we’re educating you the customer. So we are all on the same page and we can go when we’re done, you’ll be happy. And, and, uh, know that we’ve, uh, that we’ve done a good job. So, yeah. So if you just joining us, uh, uh, my name is Kenny, and This is the highway man signs podcast, your best Tulsa sign company in the Tulsa, Bartlesville, skiatook and surrounding areas here in Oklahoma. Speaker 1: (02:41)
So thanks for joining us. We’re talking about vehicle graphics and kind of the main, uh, or the most common thing, obviously for businesses is to get vehicle graphics on their company, trucks, doing logos on the, like the front doors or back doors of the trucks. Very common. That’s just a classic look. You know, normally it’ll put, you know, only put your logo, put, um, name of your company, put the phone number and, um, if a website has got it, um, and that’s really about all you want to put on there. If you’ve got a big area on the back of your vehicle, you might put some services on there. You know, obviously if you’re a landscaping company, people usually kind of understand what that is, but if you’ve got something that you do that you think nobody else does, you know, where put that on there, and I want to say big Al’s landscaping, um, you know, mowing, um, maybe do haul off.
This is the highway man signs podcast, your best sign company in the Tulsa, Bartlesville, skiatook and surrounding areas here in Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: (03:34)
Do you want to put that on there? Hey, we clean, we clean up, uh, you know, we haul off, um, you know, junk from people’s yard and things like that. Uh, you could put something like that in there. Um, maybe do lawn treatments, you know, not a lot of, a lot of places do it. A lot of places, just mostly just weedy, you know? So you might want to put something like the special kind of things that you do on there just to show, Hey, this is what I do. Um, but you don’t want to put a whole lot of wording on your vehicle, and here’s why it’s not a business card. A business card is great. You put everything on there that you possibly can because you can hand that to somebody, they grab it, they take a look at it. You’re like, okay, I can see everything you’re doing.
This is the highway man signs podcast, your best Tulsa sign company in the Tulsa, Bartlesville, skiatook and surrounding areas here in Oklahoma. Speaker 1: (04:18) They’re holding it. They got time to read it on a vehicle. A vehicle is not a business card. You’re thinking, well, it’s huge. It’s got way more room for that stuff. Yes. But you’ve got about two seconds to read everything you think about that. You’re going to see that in traffic, you’re going to see it driving by. You need to make sure that they know who you are, what you do and how to get ahold of you. And that is it. That is it. You don’t need any other things on there. You don’t need a thousand different surfaces on there. Like I said, two or three, and I only ever recommend putting those, like on the bag, on the tailgate of a truck on the back of a box truck, a backdoor, a van or something like that. And the only reason I say that is because on the back door, it’s great. This is the highway man signs podcast, your best Tulsa sign company in the Tulsa, Bartlesville, skiatook and surrounding areas here in Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: (04:57)
Because if you’re sitting in traffic, you’re sitting in a stoplight, somebody pulls up behind you, you got a captive audience, and they’ve got time to look at that vehicle and, uh, read everything on there. They’re sitting there a lot of times, your boards, didn’t other stuff, while you’re just ready to go, you’re reading whatever. And you’ve got, you got prime real estate right there. You’ve got a prospective new customer right behind you. Looking at that. Now also been said, you know, we can’t drive like idiots. If we’ve got, if we get signs all over vehicles, uh, you know, we need to drive, well, we need to make sure that we’re, uh, you know, observing the rules of the road road and we’re paying attention. And, uh, I had a funny story. I had that happened to me today. I was driving my truck. It’s wrapped. This is the highway man signs podcast, your best Tulsa sign company in the Tulsa, Bartlesville, skiatook and surrounding areas here in Oklahoma. Speaker 1: (05:41) It’s got how many signs right in the side of it. And there was a bike race going on in my hometown. And I had to sit at a stoplight, no kidding for almost an hour and a half. And I was starting to lose it. But I had to remember, I’m driving my company truck, have my company signs in there. I can’t make, you know, I can’t be a jerk. I can’t make an of myself because everyone will know who it is. So always keep that in mind. How much, how might you want to put on your vehicle as just a little funny story, but Hey, you know, uh, vehicle craft is, again, you can put that on the side of your truck and put that stuff on the bag or different services or whatever. And also, I mean, there’s so many different things we can do pinstriping we can do, um, my dad wanted some, some cool American flag themed striped on the side of his car, so he could pick it out. This is the highway man signs podcast, your best Tulsa sign company in the Tulsa, Bartlesville, skiatook and surrounding areas here in Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: (06:36)
You got white car and he wanted to make sure that he could find it in the parking lot, you know? Um, cause you know how it is, you, you buy a new car and next thing you know, you look around and you see them everywhere. And you’re like, oh my gosh, I had no idea. This many people drove this car and it’s kind of like, okay, I want my car to, because you know, we can do stuff like that. Um, we can also do, um, we can do partial wraps. I mean, obviously that’s, we’re talking about things that aren’t wraps right now, but a lot of partial wraps are, are basically the same thing. We’re just doing a bigger area. Um, like I said, I just wanted to kind of educate people on kind of the difference. Cause some, I, I, I get it all the time somebody comes in like, yeah, I want to rap.
This is the highway man signs podcast, your best Tulsa sign company in the Tulsa, Bartlesville, skiatook and surrounding areas here in Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: (07:18)
He started talking about wrapping her whole truck and I just go glossy eyed and they’re like, oh, I can’t afford it. That are, or that’s not what I was looking for. And they’re like, yeah, I just want to put it on the door here. And like, oh, okay. You know, vehicle? Correct. That’s what that is. You know, Hey, we’re going to do decals on the side of your vehicle. We can also do license numbers. We can do, um, we do a lot of semis. So you can do your VIN numbers, your MC numbers, your USD, T numbers, all that kind of stuff that would keep you legal. But then all of a sudden you’re kind of, and we know, I mean all the rules. So if you come in, we know what’s, you know, what’s, um, what’s approved by the state, what can be on there, um, and kind of go through that a little bit.
This is the highway man signs podcast, your best sign company in the Tulsa, Bartlesville, skiatook and surrounding areas here in Oklahoma. Speaker 1: (07:59) Um, they used to mandate a size, basically it needs to be easily readable from 50 feet away so they can drive up next to you and see that, um, generally it’s two inch letters or bigger. So we used to do everything on two inch letters. Now we also do boat decals, boat stickers. Um, that’s kind of fallen into that too as well. Um, you know, you’ve got, gotta have, and that license number, uh, for your boat, he can’t go out of the leg. It will, it will ruin a good time real quick when lake patrol shows up. Um, and generally in the state of Oklahoma, those are supposed to be mandated at three inches, Paul, uh, for a boat. Um, and they have special placement for your, um, for your state sticker as well. Huh. Um, but yeah, there’s just so many, there’s so many different things we can do on a vehicle. This is the highway man signs podcast, your best sign company in the Tulsa, Bartlesville, skiatook and surrounding areas here in Oklahoma. Speaker 1: (08:46) Um, and again, I said this during the, uh, the podcast about auto wraps, but, um, you know, vehicles are the best type of advertisement. I don’t care what anybody says. I’m telling you, they are the best. Everyone looks for vehicles. You’re used to because you’re driving, you’re trying to pay attention. A lot of people like cars, so they see a cool design. They see that they see your trucks driving around town, and they’re going to remember you. I promise you. Um, and, and also it’s the best value you can possibly get. Um, so yeah, keep that in mind. Thanks for listening.
