Autonerdz forums

Hello Picogroup,

I would like your input on a marketing project we're working on.

In the pictures below you will find an example of a postcard. This postcard would be sent out to the auto repair facilities in my local area.

The purpose behind this postcard is for my neighbors to become more acquainted with us, what we do and how we can help them.

My questions for you is this, If you received this postcard in the mail at your shop would you be inspired to connect with us?

Let me know your thoughts.

Good idea with postcards, but I thought the first image was a little busy, most shops would know what a scope is these days, maybe just a simple image of a waveform or image of Pico scope?

Also awhile back you mentioned a large poster or flag of Autonerdz logo, to show the public this shop belongs to a "organization" think people like that stuff, may it should be at any shop that has a Picoscope

Thank you Sam. I like all of your suggestions and will add them to my notes.

(I have no idea why I edited your post directly the other day but I fixed it.) I don't know that every shop that owns a Pico but... The Autonerdz Lab Scope Diagnostician  certification comes with a lobby worthy certificate though. https://www.autonerdz.com/cgi/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1353105597/0

We also have our flag. But very few people would know what its for. https://autonerdz.com/index.php/product/nerd-flag/

The quote is something the design guy grabbed from the website on his own. Its a testimonial that has been on the website since before I took over. I think I remember being told it was Mr. Fanslow that originally sent Tom the testimonial. At this point its just a placeholder.

Before it goes to print the testimonial will be verified and we will have permission or we will anonymized.

For posterity, some input I got privately included...

"Appealing to a shop owners mission to fix their clients cars the first time directly instead of  just the implication."

"Mention the longevity of Autonerdz."

"Move the statement about in person training and demos out of the Picogroup perks section."

I appreciate all the input. It certainly helps to bounce something off others. Its obvious now that some of this is a matter of not being able to see the forest from the trees.

Looks great! The flyer will accomplish the objectives for sure!

Yup.  (6 x 2) x 2 = 24

I know* there is some lost print area due the barcode area but the real benefit I see is the size itself.  I don't know how things are where you live but I receive an abundance of junk mail that is right around that 6x9 size. When I receive the larger size cards they stick out of the mail stack physically which means I'm forced to look at it.

Lookin Good
