Brand Your Entire Fleet with Our Custom Vehicle Wraps!

Here at ProDezigns, we don't just decorate your vehicle, we brand it with your business!  Our custom vehicle wraps at the Lake of the Ozarks, Jefferson City and Columbia are marketing tools that you can take with you everywhere you go.  If you have a fleet of vehicles, we can design a custom graphic to brand those vehicles and keep your marketing message consistent. Check out these Taxi Terry's vehicle wraps in Columbia, MO that we created for their fleet!

We have done a total of 8 vehicles recently for Taxi Terry's in Columbia, MO.  They are all different color vehicles from the factory; however, with a full wrap, they were able to brand the whole fleet to look the same! They were also able to protect their investment.  At the time they take them out of service, the paint under the wrap will still look like new and make the resale value higher.  Plus they won't be selling a yellow car that everyone knows as a taxi!

At Pro Dezigns we strive to give our clients the highest level of service, satisfaction and personal attention to detail with every project we do. From concept to completion our award winning designers work closely with you to create a HIGH-IMPACT, custom promotional solution that best suits your individual marketing needs.  Our custom vehicle wraps in Jefferson City, Columbia and Lake of the Ozarks make your business capital mobile!  Give us a call today at 573-392-0500 to get started on your graphics at Missouri's BEST wrap shop!

If you can drive it, ride it, pull it, fly it, or lift it, we can wrap it!

Using Demographics to Design Your Marketing Message

When it comes to creating a vehicle wrap at the Lake of the Ozarks, each client is different.  Each product or service can appeal to a different demographic. Demographics is the study of the traits of different groups for the purpose of targeting marketing messages.  These groups can include different races, political beliefs, age groups and more. Understanding your customer demographics will allow you to tailor your marketing to appeal to those customers.

Identify Your Target Market


Before designing your vehicle wrap in Jefferson City, Columbia or the Lake area, think about your target market.  Your product or service may have been designed with a particular demographic in mind or after some initial research you found that it appeals to a certain group more than others.  By gathering information about who is currently buying your product or service, you can attract similar customers in the future.

Create Your Message 


Different demographic groups respond to different types of messages, whether it be words or Missouri custom graphics.  If your product or service appeals to a specific group, it might be a good idea to run your ideas by them.  Be sure to avoid social and cultural stereotypes.  Being knowledgeable about your target demographic enables you to create an effective and appealing marketing message.  Our experienced staff here at ProDezigns is here to help you through this design process.

Beware of Limitations


Using demographics to help in your Lake of the Ozarks marketing can be an advantage, however it does have its limitations.  If you're selling a product with a potentially broad appeal, but limit your marketing message to attract a certain demographic, you may be losing out on those customers.  For example, if you use rap music to appeal to young adults, you many risk losing the business of older customers who stereotype rap music as violent and angry. Try to find a balance; what works for you, won't work for everyone.

At Pro Dezigns we strive to give our clients the highest level of service, satisfaction and personal attention to detail with every project we do. From concept to completion our award winning designers work closely with you to create a HIGH-IMPACT, custom promotional solution that best suits your individual marketing needs.  Imagine all the people you could reach with a custom vehicle wrap in Columbia, Jefferson City or Lake of the Ozarks!

Testimonials for a Job Well Done!

At ProDezigns, we strive to give our clients the highest level of service, satisfaction and personal attention to detail with every project we do.  Our custom vehicle wraps at the Lake of the Ozarks, Jefferson City and Columbia are "Better Than a Billboard" and our customers think so too!  Check out these testimonials from some of our clients:

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS


"In our business we often talk about the "WOW" factor, which is when someone goes above and beyond to make sure our customers are 100% satisfied. I recently picked up our 93.9 The Eagle station vehicle and was "WOWed" by it. The moment I pulled into their parking lot I was amazed by how much it just popped! Not only did it look great, but Jim and the crew kept reminding me that if the wrap gets scratched or anything to let them know so they can fix it. He emphasized how much pride they take in their work so they want their wraps to look their very best out in public. Thanks."

"Jim and Bob, I wanted to pass along my thanks for the great job that you guys did with the NASH vehicle. We are very happy with how it looks. Thank you very much for your work on it."

"I just wanted to take the time to thank you for being so great to work with and the trailer looks amazing! So many people have stopped and said how great it looks!!"

Success Bank of Iowa

"We have tried vehicle wraps for our company the first time this year. We have either partially or totally wrapped 4 vehicles this year (3 trucks and 1 boat).  We have been totally satisfied with our wraps and all the new business!  We sent one of our newly wrapped trucks to the east coast and you could tell where our truck was located on the US map based on all the email leads we received from people state to state. We sent the same driver in one of our other trucks two weeks earlier that just had black lettering on it and received zero email requests. People call us to be in parades instead of us calling them. I am going to have to put an automatic hand waver in my truck because everyone waves at me now. The response of my wraps and graphics really opens up a whole new line of marketing that I am seeing a huge return on investment! It has been the single best advertising investment we have ever made!! I am totally hooked and plan on wrapping lots more! Thank you ProDezigns!"

Thank You

"Recently Jim and his team at Pro Dezigns completed a project on our helicopter. He went above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. The craftsmanship was amazing, from the design to the final installation these guys are true professionals. So often it is hard to find anyone who will provide good quality work, not true with these guys. I trust Jim and his team to complete any and all future projects for us with no supervision what so ever. I tell him what I need, and I have all the confidence in the world that the completed project will be better than I expected. Thanks Pro Dezigns!!!"

Partnering for Design Success

In today’s marketplace, image is everything.  How your company looks to the outside world sets the tone for all of your interactions – with customers, partners, media and other key stakeholders. You cannot afford to present an unprofessional or inconsistent image in a competitive and crowded landscape.  Check out the 3 graphic design principles from Articulate.com that lead to design success!

Layout

The layout of your design should be used to convey meaning and relationships.  When you place text and graphics together, you can't assume that the viewer automatically understands what you mean. You need to create relationships and guide the viewer's understanding.  And with a vehicle wrap at the Lake of the Ozarks, layout is a huge key!

Patterns

Since you're introducing a new idea, you can assist the viewer by using repetitive elements and patterns in your advertising at the Lake of the Ozarks. This will help organize the content and bring a sense of unity.  By giving the viewer visual cues, they're able to follow the content and understand how it all fits together.  Bold headlines and underlined text will point the reader to important topics that might otherwise be overlooked.  This principle is not limited to text though; you can also use graphic elements to show relationships and organization.
 

Images 

Whether you use text, graphics or both in your Lake of the Ozarks marketing plan, everything needs to support your objectives.  Each element should contribute, rather than detract from those objectives.  This includes the visual style, fonts, colors and symbols.  Everything contributes to the communication process, so you want to make sure they are contributing in the right way.  Be sure not to put decorative fillers in to cover blank space, or use extra images to "jazz it up."  Some studies have actually shown that decorative graphics can negatively impact how your information is received by the viewer.  

Partnering with Pro DeZigns experienced graphic design team ensures that your organizational image achieves maximum positive impact on your target audiences. You need a partner that understands how to create or revitalize an organization’s visual identity standards and extend these frameworks into creative, project-specific approaches.  Give us a call today to get started on your custom car graphics at the Lake of the Ozarks!

If you can drive it, ride it, pull it, fly it, or lift it, we can wrap it!
