Featuring your car in Car Magazines can have many advantages for Car Owners.
First, it will give a good documentation of your modified Car for your effort and secondly, it
will give a good promotion for your car if you are thinking of selling 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 car?
Here are some tips and guides on How to Feature your car in magazines by a BMW car owner whose BMW M3 was featured in 3 Car Magazines.
1. BE the FIRST (NEWS SELLS)
Car magazines works like newspapers, they need new stories to sell their magazines, hence to get the magazines notice you, you need to make news for them. If your car has the first new modified parts from a tuner (a new prototype), that would be ideal as it will create news and curiosity and attention of readers.
2. BE DIFFERENT: CREATE a whole special car:
Your best bet is to start off with your mind to create something unique to your own liking, of course according to your taste. You don’t want to create a unique car only to hate it after the modifications. People want to see something special. “Extra Ordinary” always attracts attention. But remember to do it tastefully otherwise it will only attract negative feedback. Be creative, don’t limit yourself to accessories from 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 their readers and people 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 front cover of 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 YOUR LOCAL MAGAZINES:
Well you need initiate to let the magazines know that you have a special car to feature. Find a suitable car magazine that suit your car theme or make and contact them. If your car is modified by a tuning company, you may ask your tuner to call the Car Magazines as they will have direct contacts to the publishers.
If you have a special unique car, many car magazines are more than willing to feature it. Just think of it this way, Car magazines need new cars to feature in their magazines every month! (At least five cars in eash issue). How are they going to search for these cars? If you have one and feel like getting it featured, take some good photos now and email them. You just have to let Car publishers know of the existence of your Unique Car. Good Luck!
