After being in this wrap game for over a year now I have learned that NO MATTER WHAT the design is the most Important, Time consuming, and Expensive part of the VEHICLE WRAP process. From concept to getting the images that the client will have the WOW factor from to making the wrap design fit correct on the vehicle. We like to keep things BIG and SIMPLE because don't forget a vehicle is usually moving so your message needs to be sent to the potential customer FAST and CLEAR. I always say less equals more. Big clear digital photo images with a quick message, company name, phone number, web address, and that's about it.                                                                                                                                   Yesterday We here at Apple Graphics met with a client to get a design complete. We try to do our best to get a feel for the clients personality, what stimulates them visually, and also put our input as well. (After all this is what we do. WRAP VEHICLES. Sometimes it is difficult to come to a happy medium between Me, owner of Apple Graphics, the designer, and the client but we seem to get the job done every time. Doing things through e-mail is ok but to really get on the same page it is always better to set up an appointment and do the design in person here at Apple Graphics philadelphisvehiclewraps.com. If we do not have a template of the vehicle being wrapped is also best to bring your vehicle to our shop for photos and physical measurements.                                                                                                                                                           Logo design is also something that comes into play when the company getting the wrap is new in business. We have in house and freelance designers that specialize in logo designs and  concepts. If you have any questions about the design process or vehicle wraps feel free to call 215-322-WRAP(9727). We specialize in getting you noticed with car wraps, van wraps, suv wraps, box truck wraps, wall wraps, race car wraps, signs, banners, and more. Thanks for checkin in and a shout out to Jay from 609 who stopped in last night(Vehicle Wraps run through this guys veins) hope to do a project with you.

No matter what size your business is you should look uniform and professional. weather you are just starting out with only one truck or a van or a giant business thats been around a long time you can make your business look uniform with vehicle graphics, lawn signs, magnets, business cards, banners, and more. It is not a huge investment to look so good. Did you know 81% of consumers buy something from someone just from the the way the company's truck looks ? Thats a huge stat. I just completed a job for a siding and roofing company who without the graphics you would never even know what they do.

Now the truck is now lettered, he has matching lawn signs, they got matching magnets on there other van, and we designed and ordered matching business cards also. Now when a potential customer sees signs, and a matching truck they have a much better chance or getting some new work. The investment was under $ 2,000 and I predict that they will make that back quick with there new outdoor advertisements. Here at Apple Graphics Inc. we prefer to do wraps because they are so cool and very effective but when called on to just do vinyl cut letters we can do so. This is what will make your business look uniform. Thanks for checkin in. and a shout out to Sherri for keepin up with the blogs. Thanks philadelphiavehiclewraps.com

Hi. I'm at a friends car lot today looking at the property and taking photos so we can drive some customers in for auto repair and sales. This place is on rt. 611 and blair Mill Rd. in Horsham next to Willow Grove PA. Thw name of the dealership is B. London Auto Sales and service. We are working on a deal also to park a wrapped trailer in this corner. So if you live in the area keep your eyes peeled for the makeover we are going to do here with banners, signs, and vehicle graphics.

Apple Graphics Inc. Will also have an oppertunity to do installs in one of the bays in this shop for the local business. The garage door here is 10 ft. high so we will be limited to car wraps, van wraps, suv wraps. pick up truck wraps, and some box truck wraps under the 10 ft. to clear the door. The design on the trailer that will be parked here is getting under way this afternoon. Brian At apple will be doing the design. Apple Graphics Inc. will keep you up on the progress of this prodject in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for checkin in.

I'm looking for some cold hard facts. Apple Graphics Inc. has a presentation at BNI network group on Feb. 4th for 10 minutes and wants to be able to give some true stories on how effective vehicle wrap advertising really is.

Me as a first example in my old business spent $ 4,000 on vehicle wraps with a truck and trailer and within 6 months sold $ 18,000 in business and $ 8,000 was profit.

Mastercraft Landscaping got a tailgate wrap done by us and within 3 months he sold a $ 6,000 paver job from someone who asked for a card from looking at the wrap at a gas station. He could have easily used that tailgate wrap money and put an ad in a paper but at least he owns the wrapped tailgate and is still advertising every time he drives and its not costing him any more to rerun the ad.

Tigersharks bar and grill told me they got catering jobs from people who saw the wrap.      Here at Apple Graphics we know its the most effective because 90% of the wraps are from company,s that called us from the trailer wrap.

So if you have  a wrapped vehicle or another vehicle wrap company want to e-mail some cold hard facts about vehicle wrap effectiveness please respond to this blog (not just some stat sheet. a real story) like I do wrap installs for a local sign shop and a wrap story he told me was a customer was going down the AC expressway with the vehicle he wrapped got a contract with a casino for his services (huge contract now he is set)  get me some cold hard facts. Thanks for checking in. AG                                                     

Thanks to my clients from 08 and the start of 09 We have been in business for about a year now. I remember this time last year the 64 in. Mutoh (highest quality printer) was still in the box.

Man I was so excited  to get the thing installed. Made some mistakes along the way with some misprints, laminating, design, but seem to always get the job done. I almost always make my deadlines or communicate with the client on any delays for a smooth business transaction. The last thing I want to do is over promise and under deliver. As I head into the second year of this vehicle wrap industry I am just as excited as I was at first. We have lot's of new and upcoming jobs and events on the horizon. Internet Marketing being one of them. Its fun and I'm giving it a real shot trying to learn something new every day.

Also we are having the open house sometime in March (we will keep you posted with an exact date) that should be a fun day. Everyone is invited from friends, neighbors, clients, business relations, and my BNI Ivyland group. The vehicle wrap training is something we are focusing on also. The people that got the training so far all had a great experience, learned a lot, had delicious food, and are probably wrapping as you are reading this because I know I showed them enough to do a full wrap no problem. So thanks for checkin in and we will keep on keepin on with the vehicle wraps, Truck wraps, we want to get into fleet wraps this year, motorcycle wraps, interior wall wraps, trailer wraps, you name it and we will wrap it. Serving philadelphia counties, Bucks County, Main Line Area, South Jersey, Delaware County, Berks County, Atlantic County NJ, and will travel farther if needed.

We finished the partial wrap for one of our clients at Fosters Mechanical. It came out really nice, we will be posting a 360 degree video also. Here are some photos we took yesterday:

   Here at Apple Graphics we are constantly trying to wrap something. I brought a bar that was being built in my garage at home to the shop. I am going to wrap the entire bar from the step to the counter top. Also we are going to wrap a wall in the shop. I hope to have all of this done by the time of the open house. I will keep you posted on this blog of the exact date of the open house. We will be asking all of our customers with any kind of graphics or vehicle wraps to stop by and check out our wall wraps, take some photos, have something to eat, a beer and wine if you choose, or just hang out and talk business for a while.

Apple Graphics belongs to BNI which is a network group and all BNI members will be invited so there will be almost every kind of business owner or rep. ranging from house painters to accountants and lawyers. So if you are looking into vehicle wraps,wall graphics, magnets, signs, banners, logo design, digital posters, vehicle wrap training, feel free to stop at the open house. thanks for checkin us out.

Today I talked to quite a few people about vehicle wrap training. I am trying to book up Wednesday's for February. I have wrap jobs for a few weeks so here is an opportunity for some people who want to learn how to wrap to get it done. Wednesdays consist of 45 minute discussions then about two and a half hours of hands on training on flat surfaces like trailer wraps and box truck wraps.

Then a catered lunch another 45 minute Qs & As and another two and a half or three hours of wrap training on a more difficult surface with some compound curves on a car, truck or van. the cost for the day is $ 650 and at the end of the day you will work on a live wrap that will come out of our wrap shop. call 215-322-WRAP(9727) or on the web at www.philadelphiavehiclewraps.com you can ask for Neal Owner and operator of Apple Graphics Inc. We try to get some of every part of the vehicle wrap process into one day. Tools, Prep, Materials, Removal, Mistakes, Finishing, and Eating. Thanks for checkin us out.

I was on the Atlantic City expressway today and a guy in a huge new Benz drove up next to me then slowed down and got behind me ( I hope he took my phone number) then speeded up next to me again and gave me a thumbs up. When you drive with such custom graphics like my truck people just stare at you. Sometimes I forget about the wrap and I think the person is looking at me like they know me.

Then I remember and say to myself (they are looking at the wrap). Here at Apple we offer custom design not just for advertising but also for customization of your vehicle, boat, trailer, race car, and more. We offer 3-D design that is unbelievable like the skull on my hood of the f-150 pick up. you can always call 215-322-WRAP(9727) to discuss any custom graphics for any type of project you art considering.
