go to car shows and automobile gatherings and pass out cards and talk to some people there. Go to car dealerships and stereo shops in your area and make a deal with them to do thier customers cars who want tint aswell. there are alot of things you could do just depends on how motivated you are.

o I hear you there, I've already done that. I was the main tinter from the business I left. I put it on the map because the owner didn't tint windows, it left everything pretty much on my shoulders. But after a pretty bad fall out, I decided to open my own business, and a lot of my previous customers have my phone #, and continue to come to me. Plus any dealer or speed shop I already dealt with has been notified. So the car show thing is a great idea, I used to do that using infact the car in my avatar. Although I'm looking for even more ideas on written advertising.

Thanks though for the heads up and response.

FE...which papers, phone books would be the most productive?

I wouldnt waste alot of money on phonebook, alot of people use the internet now. Just get a one liner in the phonebook and then make a web page and you could advertise on yer myspace account if you have one.

Don't count the yellow pages as obsolete just yet...

I get a lot of work from the yellow pages, and I have a pretty nice ad. However, Internet searching is starting to become the prominent method, so DEFINITELY get a website.

I make my own and use Yahoo web hosting for 12 bucks a month and it's a bargain.

Today's Internet is fast replacing yesterday's Yellow Pages. The key is to take the time and have your website optimized so that your prospective clients can find you!

We are a very, very, very new company and yet we are already getting calls and installations simply with Internet and a very modest pay per click budget.

You might also explore various coupon and mailer services like Val-Pak. Inexpensive yet the call to action- -like 15% off complete car may bring them to your door.

If you want to see how your competition is using the net. .do a Google search on window film window tinting your city, USA :eyebrows

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
