Business cards on your car
Discussion
Now, ive never been one to do this and after making a comment on another thread, i got to thinking. What would you think if a detailer, like myself, left a business card on your door/window or windscreen, where you could see it?
Would you think "oh, i didnt know about any detailers around here, i'll give him a call" or would you think "how dare he put that on my car. Even if i wanted it doing, im not going to use him..."?
Its a grey area and i guess each person is different. I know word of mouth is the best way and i would like to think that as a detailer, im well thought of on here, but there are people that are not in the know and something like that might be a good idea......What do you guys think?

Appreciate that mate. I think i have only put my card on two cars in all the time ive been a pro detailer, even though ive seen some supercars that need to be rescued.
However, i think this thread will be taken as a "help, i have no work thread" which isnt the case. I travel all over (mainly london and around here) detailing high end cars, mostly astons and the usual ferrari's and lambo's etc and im doing well. The winter months arent always the best though, but when you focus on the kind of cars i detail, come the winter, alot of clients put their toys away till the spring. Im busy, but every detailer out there will tell you its always good to have more work coming in, especially in the winter time. I was just curious about the card thing thats all.

I agree with whats been said so far, but not 100% with karl. I dont think someone that puts cards on your car would be using it to advertise their product, but rather to get your attention and yours alone. Its not as if they would put a sandwich board by your car or stick a poster on it advertising two for one pizza. I take your point though mate.
Now that i agree with 100% I think it looks dodgy if someone was to leaning over trying to put something under the wiper blade and personally, i would be very embarassed if the owner came back as i was doing it. I wouldnt ever put my card under a wiper blade, but instead, in the drivers door glass/rubber. Just enough to hold it there, but like i said, ive only ever done it twice in x amount of years.
