Tips to Feature Your Car in Magazines
Having your car featured in magazines can be beneficial.
First, it will give a good documentation of your modified Car for your effort and secondly, it
will provide you a good exposure for your car if you want to sell it.
However, since there are millions of cars out there on the road, how can one attract
the attention of Car Magazine to feature your modified car?
Here are some tips and guides on How to Feature your car in magazines by a BMW car owner whose BMW M3 Tuning was featured in 3 Car Magazines.
1. BE the FIRST (NEWS SELLS)
Car magazines works like newspapers, they need news to sell more magazines, hence to make the magazines notice you, you need to make and create news for them. If your car has the first new parts and accessories from a car tuner (a new prototype), that would be ideal as it will create news and curiosity and attention of readers.
2. BE UNIQUE: CREATE a whole extraordinary car:
Your best bet is to begin with a clear mind to create something different and unique to your own liking, of course according to your taste. You don’t want to create an unusual car only to hate it after the modifications. People want to see something unique. “Extra Ordinary” always catches attention. But remember to do it tastefully otherwise it will only attract negative comments. Be creative, don’t limit yourself to accessories or products from just one car tuner, you may mix and match with products of other car tuners or even from other makes of car tuners.
3. CUSTOMISED MODIFICATIONS: ATTENTION TO DETAIL:
Custom modifications attracts attention, it shows creativity and uniqueness too, that nobody else’s has. Car Magazines want to show customized parts to the world and readers will want to buy the magazines to read and to check out the new parts.
4. BRIGHT COLOURS:
Car magazines love BRIGHT colored car, so if your modified car is of that, you have a point ahead of other car owners. You may have noticed this in all other car cover magazines too. So if you plan to repaint your car, catch attention and make it to the cover, choose bright! (please note: choose a bright color that you can live with!)
5. CONTACT THE CAR MAGAZINES:
Well you need to let the magazines know that you have a unusual car for them to feature. Find a suitable car magazine that suit your car theme or make and contact them. If your car is modified by a tuner, you may want to ask your tuner to call the Car Magazines as they should have contacts to the Magazine publishers.
If you have a tastefully tuned unique car, many car magazines are more than willing to feature it. Just think of it this way, Car magazines need cars to feature in their magazines in every issue! (At least four feature cars in each issue). Where are they going to locate these cars? If you have a modified car and feel like getting it featured, get some photos now and email them. You need to inform Car magazine publishers and let them know of the existence of your special Car. Good Luck!
