Marketing with Car Magnets

[Shaun Reilly]

Hey BiggerPockets marketing experts.

I would like to know people's thoughts on using car magnets to generate leads? I have some but just have never gotten over the "tacky" factor to put them on my car.

Stupid I know. Obviously part of the beauty of a magnet sign is I can take it off in a situation where that might be an issue.

Anyway I was curious what people thought the effectiveness of this type of marketing is vs. other types.

I'm also curious if there are seasonal differences. I'm in MA so it would be interesting to know if there are seasonal differences with them.

Like is their a dip in the winter when all the old people with equity in Massachusetts go the Florida or Phoenix to play golf for 6 months. :)

Thanks for any insights!

I have used a magnet on my truck for a year now. I have gotten a few calls but no real leads. I do it mainly for tax write off. my vehicle becomes 100% tax deductible instead of keeping mileage records. Gave me so much deductions last year my accountant couldn't even use them all because he said it could get me audited even though all my receipts are legit.
