It's a wrap!

In the high-speed digital age, images zoom in and out of our perceptive lens at breakneck speed. For companies looking to boost their brand and attract attention, traditional advertising can be hit or miss and cost-prohibitive.

For these reasons and more, vehicle wrapping has grown exponentially the past several years. 

Kim Hoffmann, who owns FastSigns of Mentor, attests that wrapping has become the fastest growing segment of her business.

“Our process starts with a thorough discussion to understand your needs,” she says. “We then create a detailed design proof, ensuring the final high-definition car graphics are exactly as you imagined. Once approved, we move forward with production and preparing the vehicle for installation.”

From start to finish, everything is created and installed within the Mentor location.

“Our design team can propose a creative new design for one small vehicle graphic or meet your brand guidelines and raise your visibility or we can match your existing design,” she says.

Mind-Blowing Statistics

Kim knows her numbers, and rattles off a few interesting statistics:

• Fleet vehicle advertising boosts name recognition 15 times greater than other advertising media.
• A single vehicle wrap can generate 30,000-80,000 impressions daily.
• The average delivery truck makes 16 million visual impressions per year. 

“It seems that the other forms of media—newspaper, radio and television—have become prohibitively expensive for what they produce,” she says. “Vehicle wraps are an affordable way to connect with potential customers, especially for those businesses that are not brick and mortar.”

She notes that customers can pay as little as $150 for a smaller graphic, up to several thousand for a completely wrapped vehicle.

“Our installer is Avery Dennison trained, which is important in our industry,” she says. “Our vinyl is top quality and meant to last in punishing Ohio weather. A wrap can last for seven to eight years.”

Not Just for Vehicles

In addition to cars, vans, busses and golf carts, Kim reports the sky’s nearly the limit in what they can wrap in vinyl.

“We’ve done a lot of industrial work tapping into the wrap technology,” she says. “Face it, there’s nothing sexy about industrial equipment. We can brighten up the workplace by wrapping anything from garage doors to heavy equipment to tool chests, in company colors and bold graphics.”

Vinyl wrapping is just one of this company’s specialties. Kim and her crew also offer a variety of high-tech marketing and graphics solutions, from business cards to brochures, logo creation, exterior signage, promotional products, and trade show signage for tabletop and behind tables.

What Customers are Saying

The litany of five-star reviews for FastSigns of Mentor mention a dedication to customer service.

Steven O. used them for a car decal, door decal and wall decal for his facility. “We knew we had to take advantage of their great service, pricing and products,” he says. “We were 120% satisfied. I had initially walked into their shop with no understanding of what we needed, and they walked me through the process from start to finish. Easy to work with, professional and the pricing and turnaround time was impressive.”

And Lyndsey B. says they, “turned around two vinyl logo designs and installs for use very quickly! We were impressed with their quality, response time and professionalism and plan to continue doing business together for our office and production environment needs.”
