DaytonaJae Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I was at my mechanic getting scheduled service yesterday and a lady that was in the waiting room had the same car as me, so we struck up a conversation. In short, she told me "My neighbors think I'm crazy, washing my car every week out in my driveway." and how she has to "scrub HARD to get those darn bugs off the front bumper each time" Ouch! I almost cringed. I gently suggested she try some sort of all purpose cleaner along with a boar's hair brush to deal with the bugs. I asked her what she used for chemicals, and she wasn't too sure, "something like A**** A**" So my suggestion is to create some sort of business card template or PDF that we can all download, print out a couple of them and keep them in our cars, wallets, etc for situations like this? I would have loved to give her a card or something to direct her to Adam's more than something scribbled on a napkin or written in the corner of some receipt she was carrying. I'm sure that once she watches the videos she will be hooked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodmanXX3 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm sure that once she watches the videos she will be hooked! i've given out volume 7 dvd's to two coworkers who showed genuine interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I have a couple DVDs ready to hand out.. just gotta clean up my car and take it to some shows.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LQ9SS Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I put the new Adam's catalog in the lunch room at work to spark up some interest. I already have two guys buying Adam's products and a some others showed plenty interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savi01 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 A different forum I used to visit had a similar thing; flyer available to download and print, users would place them on other cars they wanted to "tag". I saw a nice Z06 the other day, really needed a good wash, and was wishing I had something of this type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golf for Life Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Sounds like a good idea something that we could down load and print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormChaser Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I love this idea. We had tbssowners.com cards and its so much easier. I'd be down to buying some and giving them out I don't have a cool cell signature.....I just use tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kustom_FX Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Could really make them at home with a printer, card stock and an approved Adam's Template. Avery has a really cool online Design & Print free software for their card stocks. Works really well and is extremely easy. I use it from time to time when I do designs for customers to print out test cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonaJae Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 We just need Adam's to officially approve a template, make it downloadable for us to print out. I'm sure there would be a legal issue somewhere if we started making our own Adam's referral cards. Dylan, that's your weekend project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golf for Life Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 :bump: Want to keep this thread alive. I know that the Adams crew is busy with clinics. Also want to remind everyone about the Adams banners . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonaJae Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 The one thing I would want more than an Adam's banner for my garage would be poster-sized prints of Lynn and Ashley's avatar pictures, autographed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 While I think its a decent idea whats wrong with the DVD's? You guys are always saying how many of them you have... handing a guy an educational DVD is probably going to be far more effective than just a business card. Plus DVD's are free with every order so if you need one (or a few) grab some with each order and you've got plenty on hand. Thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf for Life Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Nothing wrong with handing out the DVDs Dylan, just thought a business card that can be down loaded and printed would be good. My next order I will request a couple of DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hslager69 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Dvd's don't fit in your wallet very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatevah Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Dvd's don't fit in your wallet very well. I just thought that while reading the thread and figured that I could keep one in my glove box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianT Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I have a business card that Adam gave me at the NJ clinic and I think it would be better to give out a DVD. It's easier to just pop in a DVD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hslager69 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I pick up my Adams supplies at trade shows or car shows and don't get extra Dvd's.Most times i'm at a car show and get asked where to get Adams products. I usually tell them to do a internet search to get contact info. Now thinking about it i should get business cards from my supplier here in Canada to hand out to those who ask.

Golf for Life Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 At times a DVD and business card will be the way to go. Other times a business card would be better. As long as a prospective customer can easily find the web sight, mission accomplished. Putting a DVD under someones wiper blade is a bad idea.

LDM Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 At times a DVD and business card will be the way to go. Other times a business card would be better. As long as a prospective customer can easily find the web sight, mission accomplished. Putting a DVD under someones wiper blade is a bad idea. Personally I think putting anything under someone's wiper blade is a bad idea. Maybe it's just a pet peeve of mine, but if they've done that, then it means they've touched my car without my permission, and it would turn me off from whatever they're trying to sell. I think business cards would be good though for like in the OP's case, where you happen to strike up a conversation with someone unexpectedly, you can just pull one out of your wallet. As stated before, business cards are a lot easier to carry around than DVDs. Now for something like a car show where you expect these types of discussions, you could easily bring a stack of DVDs and if people ask you could hand them out.

Team Adam's Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Personally I think putting anything under someone's wiper blade is a bad idea. And thats where my thought process was going. While good natured in intention, I'm sure some people with access to these cards would drop them under wiper blades, stuff them in door jambs, etc. Personally when I find ANYTHING on my car after its been parked I'm immediately ticked off. Generally I throw whatever it is in the garbage, and if its obvious what company it is I'm already forming a negative opinion of them. I'd hate for someone, with good intentions, to drop an Adam's card under someones wiper and that car owner think less of our brand b/c of it. Keep a couple extra catalogs in your trunk (they're free with every order and we'll happily include more if you ask) or a DVD or 2 in the glove box for times when people ask... but placing anything under someone elses wiper isn't something we want to get into. I get the thought process, and while a DVD or catalog don't fit in your wallet the times when you're not near your car the odds of striking up a convo related to how you got your finish to look so good are pretty slim. In todays world everyone has their cell phones on them anyways... program our toll free number into your address book (866.965.0400) and when you don't have a DVD or Catalog to hand someone on the spot, give them the number and tell them to call and order one or both - we'll happily send them out for free.
