Armored Car Service

One of the ways to help ensure the success of your business is to try and create as many revenue streams as possible. A company that does not experiment with multiple forms of income, especially those services that may seem out of the ordinary, runs the risk of becoming obsolete. Part of the imagination that moves industry forward is the desire to make money any way possible.

When you own an armored car service, you are going to start your business off with the standard service of transporting valuables and cash. Get out to as many banks, museums, jewelry stores, department stores and any place else that would have a need to transport valuables and cash, and provide them with a quote for your services.

One of the ways you can add a revenue stream to your cash and valuables business is to offer to do ATM support as well. In many cases, the armored car service companies that deliver cash to ATM machines also need to be able to support those machines and fix any problems. Hiring professional security agents that also have ATM support experience can help you to take on an entire line of business you may have had to forgo previously.

Thinking outside the box with an armored car service may seem like a difficult thing, but once you get your imagination flowing, it can become quite easy. One of the businesses you should consider is a novelty transport business. Rent your armored cars out to movie premiers where the producers want the movies to look important by having them transported by armored car. The same approach can be taken for album release parties thrown by rock bands, and the release of a highly anticipated video game.

Resurrecting Moby Dick’s Strength: the Armored SUV

No reader of the classical tale Moby Dick can doubt the strength of the book’s central character, a huge, sea dwelling mammal. Therefore, it seems only right to underscore the connection between that fearsome whale and the armored SUV. One factory in Russia has helped to highlight that connection.

The Dartz Factory turns out thousands of armored SUVs. Each of those vehicles has a grandissmus lining. The material in that lining comes from a part of the whale, a part often called the “cassock.” It happens to be the whale’s penis.
Dartz Factory Armored Vehicle
The unique lining in Dartz’ SUVs demonstrates the extent to which any of these large armored vehicles can be furnished with one or more accessories. Sometimes an armored SUV comes with a set of heavy duty racing brakes. Sometimes it has been supplied with a multi-tone siren or an impressive PA system. On occasion, such a vehicle might feature a set of LED strobe lights.

At other times it has other customized modifications. They might be modifications to the SUV’s interior, or they might represent refinements to the bullet proof windows. While every armored SUV should have bullet proof window, not every such vehicle has gold plated windows, such as those found on the products coming out of the Dartz Factory.

Armored Security Transport

The name of your company is one of the most important aspects of your marketing plan. You need your company name to not only give customers an understanding of what your company does, but it also needs to be memorable so clients will call you when they have a need. If you own an armored security transport company, then you will need to develop a name that tells the story of your company but is also something that customers will remember. An armored security transport company name can be something direct and unassuming. If you choose to use the name “Armored Security Transport,” for example, then you are definitely telling the story of what your company does in the name. But that kind of a phrase is also a bit generic. When you create a generic company name, it tends to be forgotten easily by customers. There are a couple of ways you can use a generic armored transport name for your company and still make it something that clients will remember.

Armored Security Transport

The best way to make a generic name memorable is to market it as an acronym. For example, the name “Armored Security Transport” may be more effective if marketed as “A.S.T.” Once again, you need to be careful not to get too generic with the acronym as well. People remember the F.B.I. because those initials are not common, the same goes for IBM. However, the acronym A.S.T. may be too common for people to remember. To solve that problem, you incorporate the second element of developing a good name for your armored security transport company; your personal name.
