Most Common Car Advertising SCAMs and How to Avoid Them?

The scheme in general isn’t a scam but you need to be careful as you might catch up with a scammer easily.

If any car advertising company contacts you out of nowhere for running their ad campaign to make hell lot of money, that can most probably be a RED FLAG.

What adds up to the warning of getting scammed, if any company is asking for upfront payment to run their ad campaign, it’s not legit. They’ll more likely ask you to pay their vendors for a car wrapping fee.

So, be careful if you’ve passed by any such offers.

There is also another tricky scam in the form of FAKE CHECK.

What happens?

The SCAMMER car advertising companies will send you a check before running an ad campaign. That check will be an overpayment of car wrapping fee.

They’ll ask you to transfer the money to their car wrapping vendor and keep the extra for yourself.

But once, you’ll pay them, the fake check will bounce. You’ll simply lose the money you’ve transferred to their vendor.

So, what to do?

It’s simple! Don’t accept any such “check” related offers and if you’ve received the check, anyway, don’t pay any money to the vendor.

Just wait for the check to bounce before you make any payments to anyone. You can even report the company in this case.

But to file a case, you must check company details and keep track of them.

in short, to avoid scam in car advertising industry, the best step is to look into the details of advertising company’s details:

You can look for details as:

  • No Upfront Money: Company shouldn’t ask for any kind of upfront payment.
  • Car Wrapping Fee: Advertising company should pay the wrapping fee
  • Minimum Requirements: The company should ask you about your driving history, car’s make and model, minimum age limit, etc.
  • No Big Earning Claims: If the company is making huge earning claims through their advertising, that’s a SCAM for sure.

About the last point I’ve shared above, you must know the average amount of money you can make through your car advertising.

Let’s get to know more about it…

How Much Can You Get Paid to Advertise On Your Car? Is it Worth it! Let’s Find Out…

As I’ve said that not all the offers are scam, you’ll definitely make money by advertising.

BUT, how much you should expect to earn, is the real question.

Firstly, lemme tell you that it’s not a get rich quick scheme. In fact, almost all the get rich quick schemes are fake unless you’re already experienced in making money online or offline from different sources.

Further, it’s not a consistent money-making method.

Usually an ad campaign runs from 2 to 6 months. (some can be if a couple of years as well)

And, you might need to wait until a campaign matches your profile. This makes car advertising not recommended as a full-time earning source.

Even if you’re getting campaigns consistently, your monthly earning will depend on different factors such as:

  • The route where you drive your car
  • MAKE and MODEL of your car
  • Physical condition and paint of your car
  • The Ad Wrapping Category of the campaign (Full Car Body or any part of it)

Keeping in view all these factors, you’ll probably be earning anywhere from $200 to $1000 a month.

In short, this sum of money can’t bear your overall expenses. While it can definitely help you with your car’s maintenance and insurance etc.

Before we move to the next section in our today’s article, there is a bit more to consider:

“Getting paid to advertise on your car” isn’t any less than a commitment.

Yes!

Once you’re running a campaign, you must accept the type of ad, the company is offering. Further, you can’t sell your car as long as your campaign is running.

You also need to follow your mentioned driving patterns. If you’re not driving for long or as you had mentioned in your profile, you can be kicked out of the campaign.

By the way, you can opt out of a campaign if you think the ad isn’t appropriate for you.

Get Paid to advertise on your car: 5 best options

What makes any car advertising company stand as THE BEST?

It can’t simply be the amount of money you can make.

In fact, it depends on YOU.

YES! It’s more about the driver who wants to earn money by advertising on their car.

If you’ll generally want to assess the best company for you, I’ll suggest you look at what these companies are offering. You should simply look at the following things:

  • How much money you’re going to make?
  • If it’s easy to apply
  • If the company offers to choose the ad campaign
  • Do you want to wrap your full car or small body portion?
  • How long you can commit to complete the ad campaign
  • Can you qualify for ad campaign in your own area of living?

I have researched and experienced several companies and shortlisted top legit companies. I am going to share my review so you may decide which company is the most suitable for you.

Here are the five best car advertising companies you can opt for,

1. Wrapify

wrapify

Wrapify pays the driver for how far they drive. Depending the number of miles, you’ll be driving, you can earn from $180 to $450 per month.

Wrapify was founded in 2015 and accepts drivers from nationwide locations. So, you’ve got all the chances to qualify depending on their other requirements.

I’ve kept this on number one for the same reason as other registration requirements are almost the same for most of the companies.

Advertising Processes:

Walking through their process, you’ll be asked to download their app.

Next, install the app and complete the registration process. You can then start driving your car and let the company track your driving habits.

Wrapify tracks your car through their app to offer their connected brands with the best drivers within their target areas.

You’ll eventually match with your most suited ad campaigns. You’ll all be free to sort through the list of campaigns and get registered for the one you’re interested in.

Now, it’s time to get your car wrapped and start driving your routine. All you gotta do now, is drive within their target area which is usually around 50 miles.

Plus Points:

  • There are no long-term commitments As for some of you, long term commitment might be an issue. Wrapify solves the problem for you as their normal ad campaigns are 1 to 3 months long.
  • You’ll be getting paid quickly as they ensure direct deposit into your account every week.

Precautions:

  • Your car should have a clean history when talking about the incidents that happened in the last three years. This company requires their drivers to pass a background check. You shouldn’t have more than a couple of accidents in recent three years to qualify for their ad campaign.
  • You need to own a 2010 or an up-model car. They’ll not approve your registration if you’re driving an older car.
  • In case you get off from the campaign before it’s decided duration, you’ll be bound to pay an early termination fee.

This is all for today’s list of websites or companies that pay for putting ads on your car. But you must know further about finding the legit companies other than I’ve already shared.

You can even check the legitimacy of the companies by using the method I’ve shared below.

So, let’s get started:

How to Find Legitimate Car-Wrap Advertising Companies

Scammers are everywhere!

And the car advertising industry isn’t any different.

There can be a lot of companies looking to make quick bucks without any offer.

YES, through the FAKE CHECK method I’ve shared with you earlier.

So, before you’re ready to hit the road in your car with the ad on its body, you’ve got to make sure if the company you’re working with is legit or not.

For your ease, I’ve already listed legit car advertising companies in the previous section, but you should still explore on your own to find others as well. Of course, there are more legit companies than I’ve listed.

What i am gonna do here: I’ll help with the process -you can follow- to find legit car advertising companies.

You can do as:

  • Inspecting the Company’s Application Process: Legit companies will always have a well-defined process to register drivers. They’ll ask you to share your car’s MAKE and Model, year of registration, and your driving history etc. If no such details are being asked by the company, you should move on to find any other.
  • No Application Fee: Legit companies don’t demand any kind of application or registration fee. So, if anyone is asking the same, it should be a “no brainer” to join one. WARNING in short.
  • Car Insurance: A strong signal that the company is legit, they’ll ask you about the insurance status of your vehicle. They’ll also assess the physical condition of your car. if there is any kinda damage, you might not qualify to join the company.
  • Company Will Pay For Ad Wrapping on Your Car: If the company is paying the expense for ad wrapping on your car, it’s legit.
  • Good Reviews and Customer Services: Search the company profile on google and check reviews. You can further look at the response of their customer services. If they’re providing support through call or email, they’re a good option to consider. Also, the reviews from people and blogs on the internet should be positive about their legitimacy.

Once you’ve grabbed the knowledge about what you’re looking for you can simply run a google search to explore advertising companies in your area. Google will quickly show you the list and most probably their ratings/reviews as well.

Local newspapers and craigslist also serve the purpose pretty well. You can check ads and promotions on these platforms and may find the best opportunity.

Car Wrap Advertising Process: How It Works

Back in the 1920, some of the companies started promoting their products by displaying ads on the body of vehicles.

OKAY! You can’t ignore the red bull or coca cola ads on trucks and cars. A lot of other companies display their brand on their company vehicles as well.

This might be out of budget for some companies who don’t own any vehicle. These businesses then reach out to car advertising companies.

These companies work as a middleman to link businesses with the drivers who are willing to show their ads on personal cars.

The companies are further linked to ad wrapping vendors to get the services for running successful ad campaigns.

here the process starts as:

  1. You get registered with the advertising companies by filling in the required information. It’s a simple sign up as a driver stuff where you have to tell details of your vehicle and your daily driving duration. You also need to share the location and route you chose to drive normally. Next, your application goes into the company’s acceptance process.
  2. Company will add your details in their database once your application to register gets approved.
  3. Next, the advertising company starts looking for an ad match to your profile. on a suitable match, they’ll contact you to start advertising.
  4. They’ll share payment details for the ad campaign you’ve joined.
  5. Upon accepting the ad campaign, you’ll be guided to their car wrapping vendor. The vendor will wrap your car with decal vinyl. (it’s more like a simple paint job)
  6. You start driving and get paid according to the payment process of the ad campaign. You’ll normally be making $400 per month easily if you’re driving in their target customer’s area.
