I would be interested, what does the wrap look like? Can it be done on a minivan?
Who pays for the wrap to be done?
Hello There,
Most companies spend their money on ad agencies, TV commercials, radio spots, and billboards to tell you how good their products are. At Monster we choose none of the above. Instead, we support car Wrap advertising. We back athletes so they can make a career out of their passion. We promote and sponsor concert tours, so our favorite bands can visit your home town. We celebrate with our fans and riders by throwing parties and making the coolest events we can think of a reality.
We are currently seeking to employ individuals worldwide, to help make our products known worldwide by simply branding your car with a Monster ad. It sure sounds cool driving your car with the Monster Energy Drink® ad and make money out of it for doing this.
How it works
Here’s the basic premise of the "paid to drive" concept: Monster Energy Drink seeks people -- regular citizens, professional drivers to go about their normal routine and work as they usually do, only with a big advert for "Monster Energy Drink" plastered on your car. The ads are typically vinyl decals, also known as "auto wraps," that almost seem to be painted on the vehicle, and which will cover any portion of your car's exterior surface.
What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy? Lots of exposure and awareness. The auto wraps tend to be colorful, eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of advertising with a captive audience, meaning people who are stuck in traffic can't avoid seeing the wrapped car alongside them. This program will last for 3 months and the minimum you can participate is 1 month.
You will be compensated with $300 per week which is essentially a "rental" payment for letting our company use the space. No fee is required from you, Monster Energy Drink shall provide experts that would handle the advert placing on your car. Adequate arrangements will be made as regards payment prior to making the ad visible on your car.
It is very easy and simple with no application fees required ,we look forward to reading from you soon. If the terms of the above works with you, do provide the information below:
