Default Get paid by putting stickers on my box??????? PLEASE HELP!!

I have driven through town seeing other xB's with skins on their cars advertizing for various companies. I tried contacting one of the companies I saw being advertized and they wouldn't give me any information as to who I should contact, I also haven't been able to talk to any drivers either.
I was hoping that someone knew of the company I am reffering to and can point me in the right direction.
I was aproached by someone with the same idea offering me $200 a month to have his stickers on my box, he was a tiny company and it seemed too shady so I didn't go for it. I was hoping to get in with a bigger company that has signed contacts making it as legite as possible.

Thanks in advance,
Alex

the method of wrapping your car with advertisement is called "auto carwraps"

If you do a search of auto car wraps in google. You'll find a ton of advertisers looking for cars. Make sure to find the free sites. The paying one's just give you links to the free sites. The other thing about car wraps, depends on your location where you live, how much you communte, etc. Check out the printers that print out the car wraps, they may give you some leads. Hope this helps out some what!

Warning from an auto-wrap site:

At Car Wraps, we believe in being fair
and honest with our customers and adhere to the highest ethical standards. As such, we are not affiliated with, nor do we support, organizations that promise consumers they can drive a free car or be paid to drive in exchange for placing an ad on their car. Many companies advertise this promotion on the internet and elsewhere. Generally, they’re middlemen who charge a service fee for providing consumers with a list containing companies like ours. Unfortunately, consumers almost never see results. We encourage you not to take part in such activities.

Default HOW DOES ENERGY DRINKS AND DECALS SOUND?

I'm marketing an excellent product called "XS Energy Drink"

Right now I'm looking for XB's to Sponsor.

I will send you decals (2) for your car, 12 cans of Energy Drinks, and my business cards.

There is no selling involved!

All you have to do is pass out the Energy Drinks with my business cards and place the decals on your XB!

If your interested in this great offer, either post a reply and send me an E-Mail with a good mailing address.

This is a great way to obtain a sponsor and try a great product!

XS and XB make a Great Combination!

Happy Driving!

If you're paying, I'll do it

All the xB's I see here around atlanta are either Airport shuttles, taxis, or delivery services of some kind...there are a bunch that are fully wrapped for places like Mama fus, and that whole chain or places...

for $300 a month I would put ___ **** on my car...thats alot of money for nothing.

This guy my girl knows offered to wrap my box for $500/mo. plus they pay for the cost of gas. As broke as I am with a kid I think that is a good deal. I don't know all the details yet, but when I find them out I'll post.
