YarisWorld Marketing Idea - Toyota Yaris Forums

*MAD DOG* · 03-17-2009, 09:39 AM

I know we've all thought of new designs for cards before. Some people made T shirts. Others have made stickers. But I have an original idea on how we could market this site. How about a front windscreen shade thingy with this design (design pinched from tinygiant)

So the above design on a shade thingy style below.

Would you buy one of these if someone was to make them? I know I would. Anyone got any idea on who could manufacture these and how much they would cost to make? I guess we would go two tone, either black on a white background or white on a black background to keep printing cheap.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions, comments anyone?

SIPNGAS · 03-17-2009, 09:44 AM

That IS a pretty neat idea.

*MAD DOG* · 03-17-2009, 09:44 AM

Maybe we could have sponsors on there too like Micro Image and or NST. With there permission of course. Totally up to them if they want to be a part of it or not.

I like it! would be darn useful in the heat of summer...

33OH · 03-17-2009, 09:55 AM

Good idea! I'd actually prefer a windshield decal of that though, would be awesome.

I don't use those shade things. =)

I'd go with the black on white background to help reflect as much sun as you can. If we can get a cut that actually fits the Yaris, I'd get one. Tired of getting rectangles that have to cover a trapezoid piece of glass.

TinyGiant · 03-17-2009, 10:56 AM

i'm to lazy to use one of those things.. sweet idea though

cali yaris · 03-17-2009, 11:32 AM

Good idea - I would be in as a sponsor.

NonStopTuning · 03-17-2009, 11:48 AM

I agree with Garm, good idea

Shroomster · 03-17-2009, 12:00 PM

my input is this.....

I know those collapsable shades are 'universal fitment'

what about that one that you stretch across the windshield and it has a spring to retract it, like a horizontal curtain?

EXCEPT HAVE IT MADE TO FIT THE YARIS WINDSHIELD?

*tomato* · 03-17-2009, 12:11 PM

Good idea, and really neat design!!

I don't use these things much but, I don't know if the price is right...

MadMax · 03-17-2009, 01:09 PM

I like it, but maybe a speedometer instead of a tach?

And of course it needs to fit the Yaris windshield!

And props to Garm for his support!

Cheers! M2

Would use one. I have my Junction Produce one, but that only came out for shows with my last car.

Thanks.

All we need now is someone to:

Make a design we all agree on
Get an estimate on how much they will be to produce
Make them
Sell them
Distribute them

Any takers?

Strange,

Most of you complain the Yaris does'nt have a tach. Now it does and all you want is a speedo.
