im wondering the same thing, im about to buy a new enclosed and im not sure if i wanna letter it or get it wrapped.

 

In my opinion a wrapped trailer looks better but does it really bring in more jobs? We used enclosed trailers that were wrapped and it's really just an ego stroker. Ha Ha. In my experience send the crew out in a fancy enclosed trailer, doing 130 lawns a week , and in no time it's beat to heck. Been there done that. Nice lettering will do the trick.

 

In my experience building the business, if you are just a one man crew, the wrapping or even lettering isn't going to bring you in more jobs. You still have to get out and pound the pavement to get the jobs. However when you get bigger and run more crews, lettering and wrapping the truck plays an important part into branding.

wraps are significantly higher priced. My truck is lettered so I have held off on the trailer. Plain white and I try to keep it clean.

 

I had this wrap done on my box truck about a year ago. I have an open style isuzu also that cant be wrapped. I have had the other the open style one for 3 years. I show people pics of my wrapped truck and they say " I see that truck all over" then I show them the pic of the older truck and they say "I dont think I have ever seen that one". So the wrap definately works. I paid 2900.00 for both sides and the cab. I did not do the back door because its always up. Hope that helps.

 

Wow that is really nice. How much do you guys pay to have your enclosed trailer just lettered up, not wrapped?

 

I paid $350 to have this done. Both sides and rear ramp gate.

That's not bad and it looks nice

 

Im having both sides of mine done for $400.00 on a 7x14

 

I believe that it is worth the cost. I think branding in general is very important.

 

I would say that it is worth it, I spent $17 on some small decals for the back window of my truck and got a few calls off of it, so once I get and enclosed trailer, it will most likely be wrapped.

What part of LA. are you in, I have never heard of that town?

If we paid $3k for a wrap and kept the truck for 5 years, that works out to $50 per month. That's what we pay for a yellow page add, with the wrap no potential customers has to open the phone book to see it.

I think we will have our box truck wrapped when we get one.

 

Prairieville is just outside of Baton Rouge. I think its well worth the money in the long run. If something happens to the isuzu i will just remove the box and put it on another. I just bought a new white ford pickup for the landscape side of the business and having the same guy do a design to wrap the truck. i will post pics when its done. Moving billboards.

 

Have you seen the walker mower deal? Not sure about it all, your walker dealer does all the paperwork you just give him a pic. They say if you use thier graphics and take a pic intoo your dealer full refund. Worth checking. it's on thier website also.

 

And if the wrap doesn't work for your business. I've seen ads on craigslist that will pay you as a trailer billboard. You make money everymonth for someone elses name on there.

Who did your graphics?......I've seen you around town.

 

Pat I just talked to vitalsigns about wrapping my truck...$11.00/sqft...came out to be about 2500

 

I maintain my graphics designers lawn. They wrapped my truck at not cost to me. They just placed their logo on one side of my tailgate as payment. He somehow calculated that we both would have 10,000 "trademark impressions" daily. He gets calls weekly from my truck, as do I, and I rarely get out of my truck anywhere that somebody doesn't comment.

Big C- Cypress Graphics did my wrap. They are located behind Ascension Marine on Airline in Prairieville. Here is his website www.cyressgraphics.com I got rid of my yellow chevy and bought a white F250 and about to have that truck wrapped. Cant wait till spring. Im tired of sitting around with all this cold wet weather. What type of mowers are you using?

I have my tailgate wrapped on my truck and one crew has a wrapped enclosed.
