Using Your Car in Network Marketing

If you have a car, you have a way to advertise your network marketing business. Advertising means letting others know about you and your products. I'd like to share some ways you can use your car to promote your business:

1. Personalized license plates - I remember a game show many years ago where the whole idea of the show was to guess the personal license plate sayings. Think of ways you can promote your own business on your license plate. If you sell kitchen products, what about KCHNLDY or KCHNFUN? If you sell health care products, what about VITMN or HELTHY? Think about what you do and think about how you could promote that on your license plate.

2. License plate frames - I have a frame around my license plate that that says, "To buy or sell" on the top along with the company name and then on the bottom is my phone number. If you do a Google search for "personalized license plate frames" you'll find several companies that make these products. You can choose the color of the frame, the color of the paint and the color of the lettering.

3. Vinyl lettering - Company cars and trucks often have vinyl lettering on the doors of their cars. You can order vinyl lettering fairly inexpensively. If your company allows it, use the company name and your phone number. Or consider vinyl lettering that says, "I sell _____" and put that on your car door.

4. Magnetic signs - I've seen many companies offer these as incentives. Magnetic signs can be transferred from car to car if you own multiple cars. The signs are large enough that you can put a mini ad on the sign along with your contact information.

5. Window signs - Make sure your sign meets your state laws of not blocking your vision. You can hand-make signs that are mini ads with your name and contact information or you can just put your company name and your phone number on window signs.

If you choose to use company names and phone numbers, make sure your company name is a well known brand name. There is nothing wrong with being a distributor for a lesser known company, but when you market, you need to do something other than use the company name. Instead, use phrases such as "I sell health care products" or "I sell cosmetic products".

Build your customer base and team base in network marketing by using your car to advertise your company and your products.
