Bus Branding & Advertising | Frequently Asked Questions

Our work wouldn’t be complete without you having a firm understanding of what we do and the benefits your fleet branding efforts deliver. Here are answers to some of the many questions we receive about our nationwide bus graphic design and installation services.

A bus wrap (i.e., bus vehicle graphics) is a graphic design on vinyl material that’s partially or fully applied to the exterior of a private or public bus. This application, in effect, creates a mobile billboard that helps build awareness around a brand, product, or service. Assets are designed by professionals or delivered to the company; these are configured and transferred to vinyl material through high-quality printers. Once printed, the graphics can be applied and tailored to the bus. The final result is impactful bus branding and advertising that reaches thousands of people each day!

Fleet graphics are not a “one size fits all” model. There are several factors that contribute to the cost of a bus wrap, including the material type, square footage of the print, quantity of buses in the transit fleet, anticipated durability, turnaround time, location, and more. That said – Signature Graphics strives to provide a fair and affordable bus wrap pricing model that fits your budget and goals. We provide a customized solution that can include simple designs to cover windows and partial elements or complete wraps that totally transform the aesthetics of the exterior. The best way to get an idea of the cost of a bus wrap is to contact one of our representatives and get a detailed bus graphics quote.

Custom bus graphics provide a colorful, smart way to sell your business to local customers. Whether you want to build brand recognition, boost product sales, or increase service leads, bus advertising, and marketing through a wrap can help you achieve these goals.

There are several amazing benefits of professionally designed and installed bus graphics:

Eye-catching Design – The vibrant, colorful, unique graphics are eye-catching and in-your-face. They make a statement and continually place your brand top-of-mind to those in the area whenever they see private or public buses cruise through.
Cost Effective – Compared to other advertising and marketing efforts like TV ads, social media ads, and more, bus graphics are incredibly cost-effective. Though calculating the return on investment (ROI) of transportation graphics can be difficult, its cost per impression is very favorable. Recurring costs are also at play, often cheaper than other forms of ads and marketing because it’s an ‘apply once, let it run’ type of continual exposure.
Build Brand Awareness – Bus fleet graphics can greatly increase exposure to your brand. Through regular bus routes in-town/city or when applied to private buses that traverse the highways, your brand will create direct conversions and spark conversion. When strategically parked, it’s like having a billboard at peak trafficked areas. You’re sure to make a lasting impression on your potential customers.
Added Protection – Protecting the exterior is a bonus when applying bus graphics. The vinyl bus wrap keeps the paint looking its best while also protecting it from the effects of weather.
Increase Credibility – Having your brand on the side of a bus brings the company into the big leagues. You’ve made it because you’re now advertising on the same level as the biggest brands in the country. This authority by association can have a strong impact on a person’s perception of your brand and what it offers. You can leverage this to stand out, outdo the competition, and elevate your efforts to the next level.

Transit media presents a myriad of benefits and opportunities for those targeting geographic areas where desired customers congregate. You will reach a diverse audience when using a bus wrap to promote your brand. Those who benefit from transit advertising are, really, any business. However, those who benefit most are often those who offer direct-to-consumer services. Whether it’s an awareness campaign, sponsorship, local event, product launch, or something else, if your company can strike a chord during its daily commute, then it can greatly leverage this marketing format.

The vehicle wrap timeline varies by the size of the bus, type of wrap, number of vehicles in the fleet, and specialty requests. Wraps can take a few days if something simple like a partial design, decals, or lettering. Or, it may take a week or more per vehicle if it’s a complete graphics branding application. To minimize fleet downtime, we recommend early summer due to its ideal temperature and conditions. We operate throughout the country, providing easy access to our team and installers.

Sure, you could. However, a lot can go wrong when attempting a DIY bus wrap due to the sheer size of the project and other factors. Doing it yourself can lead to a less-than-spectacular finish. It can be quite costly if you make a mistake and have to completely redo it, too. Finally, you may want to consider how long it will take and whether that’s the best use of your time vs keeping up with the important parts of your operations.

Certainly, vinyl graphics are meant to be temporary and replaceable. Feel free to swap them out when you see fit, such as during a new product launch, event, or when reaching a business milestone. We also provide changeable graphics for mobile advertising that lets you refresh damaged or old fleet graphics.
