Brochures can focus on specific auto shop services not found in any other shop. They can be used to highlight more value for money services and promos given current financial concerns.

Stickers – Car stickers have been consistently popular as marketing materials. Stickers are decorative, attractive and can deliver a message about a brand or service. Auto shop owners can use stickers as alternatives to expensive marketing campaigns. Stickers can be given out in malls, bars, restaurants, and sports clubs. Aside from an attractive design, stickers can include shop address, contact information and an internet site or email address. Stickers today can easily be printed and ordered online with the help of online printing services. Online printers have sizes, designs, and finishes on their website to choose from.

Posters – Posters are eye-catching promotional materials that can be used to decorate storefronts and shop interior walls.
