How To Feature Your Car In Magazines

Featuring your car in Car Magazines can have many benefits for any Car Owners. First, it will give a good documentation of your modified automobile for your effort and secondly, it will give a good promotion for your car if you want to sell it.

However, since there are millions of automobiles 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 Modified BMW car owner whose BMW M3 Coupe 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 modifications from a car tuner (a new prototype), that would be ideal as it will create curiosity and attention of readers.

2. BE DIFFERENT: create a whole unique car:

Your best bet is to begin with a clear 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 dislike it after the modifications. People want to see something extra ordinary. "Specials" always attract attention. But remember to do it tastefully if not, it will only attract negative feedback. Be creative, don’t limit yourself to parts from one car tuner, you may mix with products of other car tuners or even from other makes of car tuning companies.

3. CUSTOMISED MODIFICATIONS: ATTENTION TO DETAIL:

Custom modifications attracts attention, it shows creativity and uniqueness too, that nobody else’s has. Car Magazines are enthuasistic to show 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 cover magazines too. So if you plan to repaint your car, catch attention and make it to the cover, choose bright! (special note: choose a bright color that You Can live with!)

5. CONTACT YOUR CAR MAGAZINES:

Well you need to let the magazines know that you have a unique car to feature. Find the best 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 special unique car, many car magazines are More Than willing to feature it. Think of it this way, Car magazines need 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 one and feel like getting it featured, take some good photos now and email them. You will have to let Car Magazines publishers and editors know of the existence of your Unique Car. Here are some pictures of modified BMW that you can get some ideas for your car tuning.
