I will get this bad boy back on topic!
My van is covered with my logo and graphics it cost around £300 and has paid for itself 5 times over. Strangely enough I've quoted 2 jobs on my road this week from them seeing my van parked outside. Well worth it

Blimey change the last a to an e and that's my name on that one (AJ O'hare). Spooky.

No ad on my van. Busy enough to be wasting time quoting job I don't really want.

I think thieves probably can work out what might be inside my van..

So I am careful how and where I park it when on the road to ToolShows.

Ive always had van signage especially these days as I work outside london a lot. It also reduces your insurance as its less likely to get nicked with signage.
