Whatever characteristics you prefer, or if you select them all, you will find that just being behind the wheel of your new car is different than many cars on the market.

So since you live in (wherever you live lol) we'll say Los Angeles and you drive a hybrid. You could make a website called idk? and this is just off the top of the head.. www.HybridLAStickies.com hahahah (I don't know what I"m saying lol give me a break) just thought I'd add to the conversation a bit!

I know I'm over a year late on the conversation but I was just checking out your most popular posts and had to stop by when I saw the title of it. If you haven't already done it I'd say definitely do it! I mean what have you got to lose? That pixel guy was a great example, just $1 for some pixel space but reoccurring, could definitely work with yours. The only thing that he had the upper hand on is that his website was live for 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year year and had the potential to reach millions of viewers. Your idea on the downside would only be able to reach the people that are around. I'd say 3 to 5 thousand people per day depending on how much you drove and on how many people say it. One thing you do have over the pixel kid is that you could talk people into certain logos via word of mouth because you're right there. Kind of like a spokesperson except you're only telling them to visit the site and can't really give them too much information on it..that is unless you did tons of research for 700 bumper stickers lol (Information OVERLOAD AHH) All in all though it's a great idea, try it out and see what happens? Maybe start with local businesses first and get that $7 per month from that up front or monthly depending upon the agreement you come up with. Personally I think it would work better with local folks and their businesses since that's where you live and that's the immediate community they're going to want to reach. Plus it's always good to help grow your community and make it a better place :) Great idea though! cheers! -Chris Alta haha this is such a dope idea!

One point. If you're driving around all the time you're going to use a lot of fuel so you might want to factor running costs in to. However, you could always park it in prominent spots when you park up. HI Maren, I think this is a fab idea – it's basically taking what taxis have been doing for a long time. One point.

I am in Las Vegas but am a road trip junkie for work and pleasure. I travel all over the west coast frequently so it would be perfect for lots of eye balls :) I am getting the squeeze page for early sign ups ready because I've had a great response both off and online :) thanks again for commenting thanks for the vote of confidence Carol!

And they can put on their sites that they are on the bumper sticker mobile and link it to the GPS i would have always on the car.

I also read that your target market does not read billboards, so why does he read bumper stickers (or a hundred of them)? I like how you think though.

For $7 per month, $84 annual - count me in! What part of the country are you in - where will my new customers be coming from? I'm just getting started online by establishing several revenue streams, etc. and this would be great! Go for it - let me know when your ready to "roll" and how to get you the fee. $10K month? Can you show ME how to do that online for passive income? Brilliant! For $7 per month, $84 annual – count me in! What part of the country are you in – where will my new customers be coming from?
