I know the list is endless and that is why i am asking for help. Our local places seem to be quite high but I am unsure of what online printers are reputable.

You can do some at www.TotalEstickers.com, but you may want to check out companies locally that do vehicle wrap. They may be able to make it for you as well.

As someone who is in the business and who is guessing you are only doing a few items, go and work with your local person. By the time you add in the online shipping you'll no doubt end up paying the same.

I was going to say the same thing, but Kat beat me to it.

Let's be honest. How many photographers do you know that have signage on their vehicles identifying themselves as a photographer?

I need a large number of small magnets, postcards, brochures, ect.

These are not for a photography business.

Anyone ever use gotprint.net?

Actually, I have seen quite a few in my area. I know a lot of other small business owners personally, who have ads on their vehicles as well, and none has ever been robbed.

I have a 6" x 24" magnet sign on each side of my car with my web page advertised (clearly says 'PIX'). They've been on there so long that you could probably see how the paint has faded around them compared to under them. I've had no problems and that includes traveling to and parking in most corners of the greater Chicago area. I also don't leave my gear laying out on the seats when I'm parked either.

It's great that you haven't had any problems (yet). People in the DC area get their car broken into because there is a suction cup ring mark left on the windshield from the GPS. If someone really wants to break into your car, nothing's going to stop them, but why give them an excuse?

That's funny. I'm in that area but have never heard of such a thing happening to anyone with advertisements on their vehicle.

I've got to agree with Neal on this one. I even taped over the Canon logo on my backpack so that it is not obvious that I have camera gear. I quit carrying a camera 'bag' for that reason. The backpack is not so obvious.

I just want to add... I know several photographers in this area. There's only one that I know of that does have his business name on his car. This particular guy isn't the most popular guy in town and I'll just leave it at that.

Also.... If you cut someone off, speed or other minor (or major) traffic violation, it reflects on you.

I must really be out of the loop. Not that it's unrealistic, paranoid or whatever. I know it happens. Just never heard of it happening around here. Makes me think about carrying my camera and equipment bags around too. No way would some of it fit into a backpack.

This is probably more concerning to me and was mentioned in a conversation I had with someone yesterday, who has adverts on her car. She said she has to be very aware of her driving while in that vehicle for the reason you just gave. I have to say, it made me rethink the whole thing. lol

Well, cover your license plates too then.

When I cover a sports event, I park my car in a nice place where it can be easily seen as the participants arrive: "Oh, Peloton-Pix is here!" To tell you the truth, more than once, on a real hot day, I've left my car windows wide open for hours at a time. No worries, no problems. It all depends upon what kind of neighborhoods you frequent I guess.

I agree on the theft issue, but also agree it depends on the area. I live in a great community and cars are very rarely robbed. Now if I drive about 20 minutes south to the city of Buffalo, there is no way I'd keep my camera equipment in my car. Parts of that area are just that type of area. I guess it's just up to personal preference on if they want to do it or not.

I would like to thank everyone for staying on topic :-)

Not long ago I got like 2K cards @ 2.99/500...the qctual offer was $2.99 for 250 + 250 free ...so I dd a single sided card and ordered 3 large window signs (7.95 ea.) all from Vista Print...there were no problems and everything looked great...........What I am doing with the window signs is......I am going to get 2 sheets of plexi glass (one clear and the backer will be white probably) amd samdwich the sign between them
drill 4 holes add eyebolts and strap around my spare tire on the back of my Isuzu Trooper......The other 2 will have to be applied to the rear side windows.......................

The above prices is waaaaaaay less expensive than any local retailer or local big box store..........
