All You Need to Feature Your Car in Magazine

BMW M3 Car

Featuring your car in Magazines can be beneficial to Car Owners.

First, it will give a good documentation of your modified Car for your effort and secondly, it
will provide you with a good exposure for 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 M3 was featured in 3 Car Magazines.

1. BE the FIRST (NEWS SELLS)


Car magazines works like an printed media, they need news to sell their magazines, hence to make the magazines notice you, you need to make news for them. If your car has the first new tuning parts 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 special car:


Your best bet is to start off with your mind to create something special but still to your own liking, of course according to your taste. You do not 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 with great taste otherwise it will only attract negative feedback. Be creative, don’t limit yourself to parts from one car tuner, you may mix and match with partsof other car tuning companies 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 are eager to showcase new customized parts to the world 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 car cover magazines too. So if you plan to repaint your car, catch attention and make it to the cover, choose bright! (important note: choose a bright color that you are comfortable with!)

5. CONTACT THE CAR MAGAZINES:


Well you need to let the magazines know that you have a unusual car for them to feature. Find a suitable magazine that suit your car theme or make and contact them. If your car is modified by a tuner, you may want to ask your tuner to call the Car Magazines as they should have contacts to the Magazine publishers.

If you have a tastefully tuned car, many car magazines are more than willing to feature it. Just think of it this way, Car magazines need cars to feature in their magazines in every issue! (At least four feature cars in each issue). Where 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 will need to inform and let Car magazine publishers know of the existence of your Unique Car. Good Luck!
