KickCharge Creative markets its wrap-design services
using client revenue-growth after rebranding.
OW do you market your
shop's vehicle-wrapping
services? I'll bet you post
photos of each wrap you
finish - the ones you're proud of,
anyway. Maybe you hold the photo
shoot somewhere more inspiring
than your shop parking lot. And if
you're really savvy, no doubt you
also share videos on Instagram and
YouTube. What if I told you someone
has thought of a completely different
angle? What if your marketing were
not organized solely around pictures,
videos and likes?

brand-building for small businesses
two decades ago. Dan is scheduled to
lead an educational seminar on the
business of vehicle wrapping design
at the 2020 ISA Expo, now rescheduled for August. At last year's show,
he shared, in part, "Six Simple Rules"
for making your designs stand out
(see ST, June 2019, page 24). This year,
Dan will focus again on rebranding
- before and after wraps - but with
a new twist: touting your customers'
sales increases after the rebrand.

REMAKING THE IMAGE
Dan has worked with hundreds of
clients (maybe thousands by now) and
has collected sales-increase data
from many of them; he uses it to
market his own firm's services. For
example, nine years after rebranding,
one of KickCharge's most successful
clients ever, Timo's Air Conditioning &
Heating (Thousand Palms, CA), has
enjoyed an increase in revenue of
1,114% - that's like going from $1 million to $11.14 million in nine years!
Nearly a decade ago, when, according
to Dan, mascot branding for service
businesses was not nearly as prevalent
as it is today, his company's work
