Featuring your car in Magazines can have benefits to Car Owners.
First, it will give a good documentation of your modified Car for your effort and secondly, it
will give a good coverage of 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 3 series was featured in 3 Car Magazines.
1. BE the FIRST (NEWS SELLS)
Car magazines works like newspapers, they need news to sell their magazines, hence to make the magazines notice you, you need to 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 DIFFERENT: create a whole unique car:
The best thing to do is to start off with your mind to create something different and 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. “Uniqueness” always catches attention. But remember to do with good taste otherwise it will only attract negative feedback. Be creative, don’t limit yourself to parts from one car tuner, you can combine with accessories 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 new customized parts to the world and people will want to buy their 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 YOUR LOCAL Car MAGAZINES:
Well you need to let the magazines know that you have a unique 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 car tuner, you may ask your tuner to call the Car Magazines as they will have direct contacts to the publishers.
If you have a tastefully tuned unique car, many car magazines are more than willing to feature it in their magazines. 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 find these special cars? If you have a nicely tuned car and feel like getting it featured, get some good photos now and email them. You have to let Car magazine publishers know of the existence of your special unique car. Good Luck!
