Bring more drivers to GenVibe with you

Hi Vibers,When you see other Vibes in your town do you want to know who's driving them? I do.I wanted to share an idea/experiment with all of you to bring more Vibe Drivers to this WONDERFUL website/resource. There are 3 other Vibes that park in the garage at work but I don't know the drivers. I get there before them and often leave before they do so I've never seen the drivers either. I always see their cars when I go to lunch or a meeting. One is Lava red, the other two are Moonstone, there is another parked in the lot at the mall parked by the video store.Here's the EXPERIMENT: During the next month I'm going to park near them one at a time and leave my business card and email (so they know I'm legit) with a note about the GenVibe website inviting them here and then see what happens. I'll let you know if I get any responses. Has anybody else tried this kind of outreach?Making Friends Everywhere we go,

I see lots of Vibes... but usually driving down the road... not somewhere that I could talk to anyone about the site. There is one in my town that I do drive by a lot. looks just like mine. I might write them a note sometime, I probably know them.My boyfriend teaches at a high school and one of his students drives a vibe. I told him to tell the student about genvibe... but I doubt he will.

I've got some flyers that I stick under wipers (along with an extra Pontiac Performance mag when I got 'em).See this thread for the flyers.

ZubenElGenubi,Thanks for the link to your Vibe flyer! I REALLY like it and just printed some out for tomorrow. Maybe somebody should print some for the rally this summer (I can't go).I parked over where the Lava Red Vibe is usually and then looked for the car at lunch and again at quittin time but they weren't there today-bummer. Maybe they are home doing their income taxes so they'll get some money back to pay for mods. It's for the best cause now I have this cool flyer to leave for them.

Made some new fliers as well, both a color and a black and white version. Used the hoody graphic on these ones. Enjoy.

Blanco Diablo and VforVibe,TGIF! Thanks for sharing your awesome graphic talents with the Vibedom! I do not have that skill. I printed both of your flyers and saved them for the future too. I put some in my car but still have not spotted the other Vibes at work - where did they go? Whenever they come back I will be ready with these flyers. THANKS!

I'm still using these fliers that V made. But, I don't know if anyone has yet visited GV because of it. The biz card idea is great too, although I suspect they would be harder to see.

Isn't acrobat free?? Acrobat reader is free, for sure. I have 8.0 installed.

reader is free... but the full version of acrobat isn't. full version(which is what i have) alows you to modify a pdf and make changes with out going back to a customer for them to reset it in the orig. file.

I just got the Genvibe.com decal from Grafxwerks to advertize the site. I have wanted to leave notes on cars though or get a sign for my ack window that reads, "Follow me to the Epic GenVibe Rally!" or some such.

Moongdss,The GenVibe decal is a good idea, I might order one too. Yes, it would be great if you could get all the local Vibes to follow you to the rally.Well I've been having fun putting flyers on other Vibe cars but I still have not actually talked with any of them. I really wanna meet the Vibe drivers who park in my garage at work.
