Sure ... go with green thumb ... or zebra stripes ... a van? ... plenty of billboard space so why not use it? ... probably the lowest cost advertising avail ... lay in air airbrushed band of grass while you're at it.

I have found it easier to work from a van than a truck.
Equiptment is nice and safe inside while on the job, and I can hold more equiptment in there than in a truck.

I can't really use a trailer right now because of limited parking on my street.

I drew up a picture of a van and colored it in with a lime green crayon. It looked pretty cool.

Next step is to take a picture and do some creative stuff in Photoshop 7. This will give me a better idea of how it will look.

The whole idea is for people to take a double or triple look at the van.
There are so many plain white vans with lettering around that even I don't notice them anymore.

I just have to wait for the snow to go away before I can do any body work to it.
It's been snowing off and on here all week. We're supposed to get more on Mon. and Tues. It's also too cold for my taste to be outside for any length of time.

On that van ... after they see it they need to be left with a ... "what's in it for me to call this guy" ... otherwise the entertainment value may be lost on the message ... like those TV ads that were so funny you couldn't remember the product being "pushed" LOL ... so come up with a short one liner to go with that gig ... what short one liner ... will want to make them call you? Think on that real hard. Name recognition is cool but do you also need a (call to action) feature? maybe ... maybe not. Think about it. They WILL notice your rig ... now what? FREE is the powerful word ... not a free estimate ... no kidding a free estimate big deal what else is new?

A FREE what?
