How to Create a Business Magnet for a Car

Advertise your business with a car magnet.

Whether you own a landscaping business or run a daycare, a business car magnet allows you to advertise your products or services while driving through town. Creating a car magnet for your business takes just a few minutes if you choose from online predesigned templates. Or, you can upload your own custom design made using the design specifications provided by the car magnet vendor and software such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. Car magnets are available in a variety of sizes and prices. You can expect to pay $10 to $99 for a custom car magnet. Some vendors also charge a nominal fee for custom designs, others allow you to upload your designs at no extra charge.
