Pink is the new yellow

[Mikey P]

Fred, Tom King and my wife all think I'd be crazy to not go pink...


It certainly would stand out.


but all the kids are going to laugh at me..

phone number on the plastic trim and this on the back

Thoughts?

Take it from me.... Everyone knows who drives the Pink Lexus is300 here...... Just remember to put 2INTHE on the license plate.....

 

[Mikey P]

explain that for me and Marty.

 

[Nate The Great]

I got a hot pink with blue pearl in the clear coat on my car.... Everyone knows or seen my car... Pink is a real head turner.... It only sucks when it's a custom color that's hard to match if you got a scratch or dings.... I will guarantee you'll get noticed and remembered....

I remember reading awhile back about some ladies who had a pink van with pink hoses... They were featured in a magazine I believe...

 

[Art Kelley]

I don't know. I couldn't do it, but then again I don't have signs on my van and am not trying to restart my business from scratch. You will definitely be noticed and get business but you will probably get your ass kicked by ignorant homophobes. If you saw the end of Brokeback Mountain you'll know what I'm talking about. Looks really nice though!

 

[Scott S.]

rainbow colored shirts with your logo too?

 

[Scott S.]

how would a purple van look mikey?
can you hire a chick to work with you?
or make your wife work with you and drive the van.

 

[Mark Saiger]

You would definitely get noticed... Women would pay attention....

Men would pay attention...

It is definitely something to consider.

Could you imagine if you had 2 of us those following each other in a town! I thought my circus gets attention... You would get attention!

I think it is a bold move and a bold move is good.

You could also add another complimentary color if you decided, but it looks good and readable too...

Do it....new house, new market, you had your 50th birthday - why not shake things up a bit more. What the hell...a risk like this could pay off huge and be a lot of fun. You can always change out the wrap if you end up hating it!

Local barbecue joint has (2) pink vans and you do notice them.

 

[FredC]

LOL....I did it as a joke at first..............

but it looks good.......and there are examples of it being a successful

 

[Jim Pemberton]

I knew a company that used that format. I'm not sure that they are still in business, but if not, it wasn't because of the pink truck and company colors.

Even NFL stars wear pink right now....it surely shouldn't impact your perceived masculinity at this stage of the game.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I suggested pink to my son for many of the reasons cited.

I know it would be one of the few colors that would stand out like my green vans.

 

[Desk Jockey]

it surely shouldn't impact your perceived masculinity at this stage of the game.

Well.....maybe not in public but he sure will be easy pickin's here!

DO IT...the post counts will go through the roof.

 

[dgardner]

You'll need matching uniforms...

Seriously - I think it's a great idea!

 

[dealtimeman]

You better sign up with the Susan g komen foundation and forward a small percentage as people are going to ask repeatedly if you have any association at all.

You could raise a lot of money even at 1 percent going to the Susan g komen fund, and it would be less explaining that you just did it to bring attention to yourself or your company.

I could see it a bigger thing in Cali but might be a big deal in Nevada too.

 

[Desk Jockey]

The pink would drawn attention but so would dropping your pants.
Do we really want to do that....don't answer that!

Go with something tasteful that you feel comfortable with.I would NOT do pink.


We have a landscape business here that has dark blue and green. They look really sharp and the green could be used to promote "Green Cleaning".

 

[dgardner]

This guy is in California - he seems to use pink to his advantage...

 

[Desk Jockey]

Very professional!

Love the tag line too. "If its dirty or it stinks, call Pinks!"

The guy does look like he knows what he is doing cleaning wise. Hopefully his marketing doesn't detract from his cleaning skills.

 

[dgardner]

I was searching for pink themed carpet cleaning stuff and came across this - Google is slipping, this isn't pink:

 

[FredC]

the cadillac they ride around in probably is

 

[Jim Pemberton]

This guy is in California - he seems to use pink to his advantage...

This is a man who enjoys what he does, and is comfortable in his own skin.

He might scare one or twenty people away with his manic approach, but if he translates that confidence and high energy into great service and customer care habits, I don't doubt he has done well.

 

[GreenTechAgain]

When I see businesses feature Pink now I don't think of anything but Breast Cancer.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Delete that photo, bawb is in love with that gurl.

 

[Mikey P]

or a more natural approach..

 

[Desk Jockey]

Stealthy, come & go like the night.

 

[dealtimeman]

Now that looks good but need to see it with lettering.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Here Lockmyfookingmouffshut!

Purple has worked out pretty well for us!

 

[FredC]

Lots of pink plaid to choose from
