Printed decal strips with web address?
A reasonably naff idea but how about decal strips with a property's web address for car bumpers and suitcases?
Vistaprint don't have strips as far as I can see. Anyone found a good source?

www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk do a good range of printables so you can customise your own.
I've printed unbleached cotton bags with web addresses, pictures etc with laser heat transfer paper from them. It gives a nice finish and is long lasting, unlike ink jet tshirt transfers. I leave the bags hanging up for shopping. The local craft gallery also stocks my bags with vintage postcard prints of the village on and they sell quite well.
CCC also do inkjet and laser waterslip decal paper. Inkjet is a bit of a bind as you have to spray it with varnish. Laser is great, you just print it off, cut around, soak it then slide it onto whatever project you want. It also works on candles and soaps.
The clear laser adhesive papers can also be used for your own custom sized labels.
Lots of guidance on their site and they have a Facebook page with an offer on for mailing list members.
I can totally recommend their products as I've used them for many years.

The bags I bought are heavyweight cotton (almost a canvas) and fare okay. Both the bag and the transfer are fully washable. I have the transfers on tshirts and they have withstood many washes and not faded or budged. (As long as you don't tumble dry or iron the transfer directly).
PM me if I can help with anything else. I currently have a room full of customised candles, bags, cards, bookmarks awaiting sale at a craft fair this weekend so you can learn by my mistakes!

Well I'm hoping to learn a lot from you Sue!!!!
Our move to the newly renovated second floor is well under way and I now have a sewing/craft corner (a little bird tells me there is a snazzy new sewing machine waiting for my 60th birthday in a couple of weeks!!!).
I know that you have a lot of experience in the craft world so I hope you won't mind me pestering you for even more good ideas!!!???

I'll post more later but here are some I did for a scarecrow festival. I put local scenes on the books and give them as gifts to return visitors. I leave a couple of bags in the cottage for folk to shop with (and advertise my web address!)
I'm making a new visitor book with a pic of the cottage on the front. There is a notebook available for guests which has a pic of the street on from 1910's. (ebay post card scans).
The candles can have a pic of your property or local scene and are nice little giveaways too.

The idea of the decal is something I ahve been thinking about for a while now but... In Italy you should pay taxes! You should pay to the comune where the car's owner is resident. And the more the adhesive is large, the more you pay. I did not find anything now on the web but, as far as I can remember, you are only allowed to do this if the society you are advertising for is also the onwer of the car. It might look complicated if you are not Italian but, those living here...
