How many words should be on a car magnet?

Less is more. A driver sees your car magnet for only three to five seconds, so keep the message to seven words or fewer plus your contact details.

• Include: your business name, one short service descriptor, and a phone number or website.
• Keep it to: seven words or fewer on the headline.
• Leave out: long taglines, service lists, and fine print that vanish at speed.
• Design tip: big, high-contrast type reads far better than a crowded layout.

Treat it like a billboard on wheels: one clear message and an easy way to reach you.
