Let’s talk real-world marketing. Not theory. Not guesswork. Just down-in-the-trenches, let’s git-‘er-done, make-your-phone-ring strategy.
Think about this: you already have vehicles on the road for your residential services business. BUT are you turning them into moving billboards that actually bring in jobs?
If not, you’re leaving money on the table—every time you pull up to a customer’s house or actually at every stop light! Here’s the deal:

A one-time investment in signage pays off day after day, mile after mile. Try getting that kind of long-term ROI from a social media ad! 🙄It Builds Your Brand
Your van is a rolling billboard. Why not use it to show off your logo, your colors, your residential service you offer and your professional image?You’ll FEEL More Professional (Which is priceless!)
It’s real: when you look like a legit pro, you’ll act like one—and sell like one too. 💰💰💰
Want Your Van to Actually Get Noticed?
Then don’t be an amateur and do your vehicle signage halfway. Here’s what works:
1. Hire a Pro Designer 🧠
This isn’t the place to DIY. A well-designed logo and layout will make your van unforgettable—and that’s the goal.
2. Pick ONE Bold Color and Own It! 🎨
Think about “Bring on the Blue” to full-on purple wraps or even (dare I say it?) HOT PINK! 🦩🦩🦩
Pro TIP: Residential services companies who dominate their market usually dominate a color too. Uniform branding makes you stand out like crazy.
3. Got a White Van? No Problem 💡
Use that blank canvas smartly. A bold logo and a partial wrap can still pack a punch. You don’t need to go full wrap if the funds are tight.
4. Less is WAY More ✂️
Nobody’s reading 14 bullet points while you're doing 45 MPH. Make your name, logo, and general service area pop. Keep the extras (like phone number and services) clean and minimal.
5. Yes, It’s Worth the Cost 💰
A clean, consistent, and pro-looking fleet makes a massive number of impressions every single day. You’re paying for visibility that actually works.
HINT: Doubt me on the above point? Then just for grins sometime Google the acronym “TOMA”!
Another ProTIP: Drill into your techs that HOW they drive your company’s vehicles will directly impact peoples’ opinion of your business.
Steve’s bottom line? Your vans aren’t just transportation—they are 24/7 marketing machines. Treat this opportunity like the gold it is!
Take each vehicle and letter it, brand it, and watch how many more people start Googling your name. Then sit back and…
Let your trucks help do the selling for you! 👏👏👏
