IAPSC Marketing Tip #102  

Car

Is the car you drive giving clients a negative impression of you?

 

Your mode of transportation can speak volumes to potential clients and is part of the way you market your business. Think about it. If you see a cleaning service vehicle arrive in a dirty car to clean your house, what do you immediately think about the quality of the service they will provide?  You probably aren't very confident that they will do a good job. The same holds true in the world of security consulting. The car your client sees you driving can convey an impression about you and about whether you are someone to be trusted. A clean, powerful, and substantial car conveys a message about your ability to keep them safe and protected.  A dirty, old, weak-looking car can send the opposite message. Think about your wheels as an important part of marketing your business.
