PDodson Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 i am starting a side business hauling cars, right now i have a single hauler but i want to upgrade to a 2-3 car hauler in the future, I am based out of Denham Springs, Louisianahttp://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e394/XLR8N/Mobile%20Uploads/20150724_180706_zpsnyhfpwcv.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malykaii Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 ^i agree. Most people won't catch the reference as "conquest" (noun) and see it as it being an action. Sounds inapropriate and weird. I say keep it professional such as yourname@gmail.com or companyname@gmail.com The image is cool and appropriate, but the background fails you. Its a green truck against a green backdrop. It's transport your advertising, not classic car sales and all that stands out is a blue car. Maybe, say spin it around so the truck is in the front with the trailer in the back, making your point very clear. For example, moving company's usually will use a picture of a box truck, not a group shot of their sweaty employees (which would be weird). However, a pic of 6 muscular guys in front of a box truck really drives the point home. Make sense? I also think your not saying enough. "Hauling" can mean almost anything. I say you need an angle, cause as a customer I see a dude with a uhaul trailer. I don't know the industry, but if your insured to carry a $500,000 car, anounce that so people will trust you with their toy. If your not, but your cheap, also make that known. For example,when I'd borrow my mom's e250 on weekends, my Craig's list ad said "man with van" and didn't imply I was a pro yet made it clear that, in turn, I was the cheapest in town.

Malykaii Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Congrats on the cards. Malikaii, you make so much sense. I never think of things that way. You never look at advertising the same once you date someone in marketing... I swear that truck looks green lol. Must be that you took a photo,then my phone display, and it gets lost in translation. Those rigs look good in grey. I thought that was the test printing of the card... Hence the paragraph. Enjoy and good luck with business. When I finally find that rust free triumph roller, I'll be a callin ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One lost haul due to the email inference could cost you that I bet. Boy you guys sure do know how to make a person feel real good, just cause I used a conquest on a trailer you guys are saying change your email, most people don't even know what a conquest is, I used that pic because it was me "hauling" something on a trailer hence the name of my side business "DODSON HAULERS" so thank you guys, have a nice day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntercooledFlatty Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 people being people bra, it ain't no thang no matter WHAT you do SOMEONE will :mad: cuz day be like sippin' onda hateraid yO roll yo shizzle PDawg, u got this mang I D G A F cuz ah keep bellin' ... straight outta Conquest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malykaii Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 ^ I don't think anyone has anything against the conquest (noun)... Your email address sounds "non strait" and seeing as your in a state that isn't NY (where NYC pride turnout might just outnumber the population in some counties in your state) I agree it can hurt business. What do you think a very proud fire work launching, Budweiser drinking American is going to think of your email when he needs his corvette moved? It's sound advice and if a bunch of people thought it here, even more will out in the real world. It's not about making you feel good... I think people on here are really looking to see a fellow member succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G54Bstore Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 That's the difference when you live in the south. We don't give a ship about your email address. It's about getting the company name out there. Word of mouth will keep him busy. Most of the time it takes around a year or more to get rolling real good with a new business.If he's got affordable rates I have no doubt he'll succeed. No matter what the card looks like. Hey Paul .. Get some of those magnetic signs for your truck man that'll get you some calls I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntercooledFlatty Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 i'm not pointing at anyone just saying in general that people are people. that said, i think PDawg is going for a captured audience to get rolling ( pun intended ) and letting the word of mouth along with great service take it from there. i don't think he plans on spreading this operation nation wide with 20+ trucks hauling bulk vehicles, no sir, just more of a one ( or 3 with the new trailer ) at a time with great turn around time and that great customer service that was mentioned just a moment ago. roll on PDawg .......................................................

Funky Phil Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 i think everyone loves the conquest in the pic. That is not the reason for the the recommendation. As thats what it was. Hotmail is free as are most email services. As you said, no one knows what a conquest is. So when you say Conquest4him it sounds a wee bit strange. It was a recommendation. If you didnt want input, you should know better than to make a post dedicated to it. Its the B.S. section. Were bull$hittin about your business card.Everyone wishes you success and was offering advice to help you. Regardless, good luck. BTW I can help with the magnetic signs if you would like.

I saw your post stating you had too much invested and I just wanted to share that you could get cards redone cheaply if that was what was holding you back. My intent was only to be helpful and offer a solution to something I thought you were presenting as a barrier, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
