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 Car 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 (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 start off with your mind to create something really special to your own liking, of course according to your taste. You don’t want to create a special car only to hate it after the modifications. People want to see something special. “Specials” always catches attention. But always remember to do it tastefully otherwise it will only attract negative feedback. Be creative, you don’t have to limit yourself to parts from one car tuner, you can mix and match with products of other car tuners 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 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 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 car 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 unique car, many car magazines are more than willing to feature it in their magazines. Just think of it this way, all Car magazines need unique cars to feature in their magazines every month! (At least six feature cars per issue). Where are they going to get hold of these special cars? If you have one 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!
