Featuring Your Car in Magazones

BMW M3 Car

Getting your car featured in magazine can be beneficial.

First, it will give a good documentation of your modified Car for your effort and secondly, it
will provide you 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 custom car?

Here are some tips and guides on How to Feature your car in magazines by a BMW car owner whose BMW M3 Tuning was featured in 3 Car Magazines.

1. BE the FIRST (NEWS SELLS)

Car magazines works like printed media, they need news to sell more of their magazines, hence attract their attention, you need to make news for them. If your car has the first new 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 unique 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 don’t want to create an unusual car only to hate it after the modifications. People want to see something unique. “Extra Ordinary” always catches attention. But remember to do it tastefully otherwise it will only attract negative comments. Be creative, don’t limit yourself to parts from one car tuner, you may mix and match with parts and accessories 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 special customized parts to their readers 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! (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 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 will have direct contacts to the editors.

If you have a tuned unique 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). How are they going to search for these cars? If you have one and want it to be featured, get some good photos now and email them. You just have to let Car publishers know of the existence of your Unique Car. Good Luck!
