It has come to our attention that a campaign is coming to the Northwest by way of Las Vegas, NV promoting an adult entertainment establishment on a mobile billboard vehicle. Although we respect the right to freedom of expression, we at GoMobile want to make it impeccably clear to our clients as well as the public that we are in no way affiliated with this campaign, its vehicle, or the company behind it. The vehicle is not a GoMobile Network vehicle, and it is in no way associated with GoMobile and any of its 60 affiliate markets across the country.
For over four years we have been no strangers to pushing the envelope with our signature glass-walled 3D mobile showroom vehicles, however we at GoMobile are held by a strong set of uncompromising moral standards that dictate what we put in front of the public. We will continue to be led by these morals in the future in everything we do, and thank you for your continued support of GoMobile, our clients, and our work!
You may be able to save even more on a brand new mobile advertising truck from GoMobile Ad Vehicles. Tax incentives for 2009 could help you start this business with the capital you need.
U.S. Tax Code Offers Opportunity for up to $250,000 Tax Deduction for Work Truck Purchases.
Internal Revenue Code, Section 179, may allow an immediate deduction of the cost of certain capital machinery and equipment, including work trucks.
Logan Township, N.J. — According to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC), Section 179, a taxpayer may elect to treat the cost of any qualifying property as an expense, rather than a depreciable capital asset. Using this tax code provision, business owners may be able to deduct the full purchase cost of a qualifying work truck (GVWR = 14,000 lb. or more), up to the $250,000 limit applicable to tax years 2008 and 2009. The deduction must be taken in the year the vehicle is placed in service. For tax year 2010, the maximum deduction is scheduled to revert to the 2007-level of $125,000.
Time is short, but the potential benefit is large. Those considering the purchase of a new commercial truck should certainly consider the tax implications of buying this year versus postponing the purchase until next year or later.
IRC Section 179 contains a number of limitations and provisions that may affect the extent to which any business can deduct any specific purchase. Consequently, business owners should consult their own tax advisers and accountants regarding their individual situation and the applicability of IRC 179 to it.

The GoMobile Advertising Network is the primary value for all operators who purchase a GoMobile Ad Vehicle.
Anyone can sell a truck, but few can offer the training and support that comes from four years of owning and operating a non-traditional mobile advertising business. This is what makes us different. I’ve said a thousand times that we are not here to make a quick buck, we’re here because we believe in this medium. And we believe that our national campaigns, awards and growing network are proof that we are here for the long haul. There is no other name more recognized in America or abroad for being the experts in mobile advertising.
Other manufacturer’s of billboard trucks have said the same and we’ve seen them come and go, but as we approach the celebration of our 4th year in business, we proudly point to our successful affiliates and the clients who believe in something more than a truck with moving signs. We point to those who believe that national awareness and visibility of mobile advertising has value in the long run and working together will increase our success.
We’re still here, because a “lure” doesn’t last a lifetime and doesn’t consider the establishment of brand awareness, award-winning campaigns, and a “say what we’ll do when and how” mentality. For further validation of the medium see our testimonies page. Our affiliates and clients have no problem telling you how they feel about working with GoMobile.
Give me a call today. We’d love to have you on the team.
I speak to people all the time who ask if they should pre-sell their billboards before the advertising truck is in their possession. Sure! It certainly doesn’t hurt. But keep in mind that not every client will be interested in committing to advertising on a vehicle they have yet to see.
Unless that client has been working with GoMobile headquarters.
What we like to do here in Seattle is promote all of you out there who have joined the GoMobile Network. So, when you purchase from us, you join this great affiliation that is connected to ad agencies big and small across the United States. And sometimes those agencies call us and ask for multi-city campaigns: and lucky you, you might be running your advertising truck in the market of their choice. Before you know it, you’re making money and all you had to do was find a driver.
Can we guarantee this scenario? No. But it can happen. In fact, one of our newest affiliates had the pleasure of purchasing a vehicle in mid-July and straight out of the gate, we put Sprite on his truck for the month of August.
“Launching my business with a national account such as Sprite, is a sweet way to get our business underway,” said R. Tibbetts.
Its just another benefit of joining the network. Contact us today to find out more!
Durability and dependability are terms that have become synonymous with the GoMobile name, but we think it’s about time another word is added to the mix: sustainability. Our green efforts are not something we parade around, but we like our affiliates, potential affiliates & clients to know what we’re up to on the green front.
Since day one, we’ve offered mobile advertising vehicles that run on BioDiesel fuel. If you’re unfamiliar with the difference between BioDiesel and regular gasoline, take a look at this:
A study done by the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that BioDiesel reduced net CO2 emissions by 78%. This is in part due to the fact that the raw materials (plants) used to produce BioDiesel help to recycle the CO2 emissions from the finished product. In addition, the exhaust emissions of sulfur oxides and sulfates (major components of acid rain) from BioDiesel are essentially eliminated compared to traditional diesel. Source.
A staggering fact: Americans throw away over 195 million tons of trash per year. When a campaign is over, we store old billboards in our warehouse to recycle for future campaigns instead of tossing them. In addition, we work with the leader in billboard and banner production, BannerGalaxy and their PriorLife program, which recycles campaign billboards into custom tote bags, wallets and messenger bags. We’re always researching new and innovative ways to continue to operate using sustainable practices and encourage our affiliates to do the same. Stay tuned for more upcoming projects that do just that.
Sorry its been so long since we’ve given you an update!
Between the snow, the holidays and running hard in to the New Year, we’ve been pretty busy. However, we wanted to take the time to let you know that we are still here. Still forging ahead with new ideas, creative campaigns and looking positively in to the future of mobile outdoor advertising.
Check out our latest video on YouTube. Maybe 2009 is your year to join this Revolution!
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.

Happy New Year from GoMobile Advertising! May 2009 bring you continued happiness and success!
Though cliché, the ‘strength in numbers’ ideology has much to be realized in the mobile advertising truck world. As the GoMobile Advertising Network grows consistently year after year we see that working together has made all the difference in the success of our affiliates.
In a perfect world, everyone who has started a mobile advertising truck business with us would be hitting homerun after homerun; and many are. However, mobile advertising trucks are still an ‘out there’ concept for many businesses and advertising agencies. This is the very reason that the GoMobile Advertising Network is a life-saver: We’ve been there, done that and continue to dive headfirst into the unknown so you don’t have to.
Training, business tools and templates, photos from campaigns all over the country, conference calls, newsletters and unbeatable customer service combine with new people, the sharing of new ideas, new technology and a ‘sky is the limit’ mentality to make up this nationally recognized team. We’ve spent the money on Bluetooth research and we’ll tell you our findings. We’re spending the time now on LED truck research. We know how to run national campaigns over and over again. We’ve run a mile so you can start this business with the confidence and assurance that you have expertise to back you up.
Join the only Mobile Advertising Truck Network in the nation and begin this business with the strength of the numbers who have gone before you.
There’s little I hate more than finding out I made the same stupid mistake as someone else doing the same thing I am. But someone has to go first; someone has to play the fool initially so the rest of us can learn from their wisdom. This is what we like to call the ‘stupid tax’. It’s a common phrase passed around our office posing as a reminder that none of us would repeat the same stupid mistakes as the person in the cubicle next to us.
Whether it be life or business lessons, the stupid tax is relative to anyone trying to figure out what to do next.
We started this business taking a big risk…traveling the road untraveled. What procedures should a driver go through before they get in to one of these trucks, but more than that, what type of driver should I have? A teenager? Should I recruit current truck drivers? How long can one person drive without crashing our truck?
Or what about pitching this cutting edge advertising medium to ad agencies who may think we’re crazy… what do we say? How do we present? Okay… how do we even get our foot in the door, let alone get connected to the right guy.
Stupid Tax, stupid tax, stupid tax… we walked the line of ignorance so you don’t have to.
For the second year in a row, the GoMobile Network was graced with the privilege of having Nancy Juetten provide a wealth of knowledge and publicity know-how to our National affiliate group. It’s true that, without a doubt, each of us can and will use her invaluable and effective tools to grow our business nationwide.
“Nancy provided real life examples and a simple way to use blogging and technology to promote my business. Fantastic presentation!”
Bernie Montoya – Bay Area Mobile Media
Nancy’s presentation was full of straightforward information that was easy to understand and simple to implement. Her Media-Savvy-To-Go Publicity Kit was also a real winner with our group, allowing the opportunity to execute her tips of the trade back at the office or on the go. We are excited to apply her media-savvy methods to gain us better coverage from our media contacts.
Thanks again, Nancy for your informative and entertaining presentation!
