BMW Auto

Featuring your car in Car Magazines can have many advantages to Car Owners.

First, it will give a good documentation of your modified car for your effort and secondly, it
will give a good advertising media 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 modified car?

Here are some tips and guides on How to Feature your car in magazines by a BMW car owner whose BMW M3 manual 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 modifications from a car tuner, that would be ideal as it will create news 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 unusual but still to your own liking and your taste. You don’t want to create a special car only to hate it after the modifications. People want to see something unique. “Uniqueness” 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 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 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! (special note: choose a bright color that you can live with!)

5. CONTACT YOUR CAR MAGAZINES:

Well you need initiate to let the magazines know that you have a special car to feature. Find the best magazine that suit your car theme or make and contact them. If your car is modified by a tuning company, you may ask your tuner to call the Car Magazines as they will have direct contacts to the 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 every month! (At least 4 feature cars per month). How are they going to find these new cars? If you have one and feel like getting it featured, take some good photos now and email them. You just have to let Car publishers know of the existence of your Unique Car. Good Luck!
