Volunteer to get a free carpet mat

Hey Guys, we are a factory now developing carpet car floor mats, so need BMW X3(American Standard, year 2011-2016) owner as a volunteer.
You can get a free good quality carpet floor mat, what you need to do is helping check the carpet, and offer some advices, feedback about the coverage, adaptability, etc, and send me pictures and videos

If you are interested and agree with the above, pls contact me(ywh0533@126.com) for more info, I will arrange the shipment

Thanks, and wish you guys a nice day!

those look nice.

How do you manage to get the driver mat in place ?

I also have custom one, and they eventually get onto the gas pedal.

its not dramatic since its a floor hinged pedal, but not ideal.

that's the most important point
our backside is strong non-slip material, plus the original suitable velcro,or plastic buckle for other brands, during our test, it never moves, we are also looking forward for more test results here

Not that you are asking for opinions, but I think that plastic section where the logo is located is too large, the logo itself is too large, the logo itself is not very good looking, and the name is sort of dumb. I realize things don't always translate perfectly from Chinese to English, but "TOP Design" will make people automatically think it is not a top design and is something cheap. It's like if your logo said "Super Amazing."

thanks man, for your opinion,
yes, we already make the logo and the panel smaller than the picuture
for the printing, dont want to steal the slogan from BMW so we just printed the logo, still designing what shall we print
for the brand name, sorry to hear that, but, it is already registered, so, guess don't have option at this moment, maybe we should print something else not the brand name....

Why do you need a logo at all? It's not like somebody will get in my car, see your logo and go buy a set for themselves. The dirty floor of a car is not a good place to advertise. The only reason to have a logo is to attract the car owner to buy them. A BMW owner may buy mats because they say "BMW" or "M Performance" because the logo is the REASON they buy the mats - for the logo. Why would anybody want their mats to say "TOP Design?" They won't. In other words, if you made identical mats with and without a TOP Design logo, I think almost everybody would buy the mats with no logo. What you need is not a logo nobody wants, but some way to say your mats are better than other mats people can buy on eBay. For example, the double red and blue stitching on the first mats is cool looking, but single white stitching is not, and will get dirty. If I were looking for replacement mats, I might buy some with red and blue double stitching over just plain black.

actually, we design the corner panel in order to make it differnt than traditional plain carpet, make it more like sport, athelete, youth, etc
however, point is, as you said, we are now still designing the printing on the panel, once work out, will show you and hope can get your opinion
that's black + white double stitching, however, cleaning is always a problem for carpet mats
the main products are black+black stitching, the rest will be like black+white, black+red, blue+red, green+red, etc

got the mats today! On first look they seem to be of good quality. Carpet feels nice and the stitching is damn good all things considered.

Going to try them out for a week, get some use on them and then give a proper update!

1. As others have said, get rid of the logo and replace it with something both smaller and more graphic than alpha-numeric to appeal to a wider audience. Consider offering in different colors.
2. Am I the only one who doesn't like carpet in a car? If it gets wet, it can smell. When it gets dirty, it has to be shampooed and dried out or else it will smell. That's why I prefer rubber mats and would remove all the carpeting if I had a good alternative.

Hey man, thanks for your reply
we are re-designing the printing, maybe something else or nothing
for the material, if environmental nylon like my sample, should not be smelt when gets wet
well, as material, it has to be personal choice, someone as you, like rubber, some people feel carpet more comfortable and luxury, but have to committ, it gets dirty easier and not strong as rubber
everything has advantage and disadvantage, point is which side you care more
thanks
