It has been exciting start to 2010 for GoMobile and our affiliates and it is with great expectation that we look forward to 2011. Here’s a quick recap of why we’re so eager to see what the year holds:
Duvel Beer We wrapped up a 3 market campaign for Duvel Beer and hope to see it expand in to a market near you. Check out our recap video.
New Vehicles Last week we completed delivery of a new 610 GMAV to Nashville, Tennessee. We’ll see another 610 GMAV heading to Lubbock, Texas this week. GoMobile also wrapped up training this week for a new affiliate from Atlanta, Georgia.
Manufacturing has two 2009 ISUZU NPR Diesel Chassis’. These chassis’ typically run at a $6,000 increase to the base price of an advertising truck, but by purchasing these in advance we have realized a savings that we can pass on to you. We also have a 2009 ISUZU NPR Gas Chassis in stock. We are processing orders now for March deliveries, so give us a call.
Used Vehicles Some of you have inquired about used advertising trucks. We have one unit in inventory,: a 2006 ISUZU NPR Diesel manufactured by Motionadz. This vehicle has 50,000 miles and asking price is $45,000. Contact us for more images.
As always, GoMobile is here to answer your questions and find solutions for how you can start a new mobile advertising business in 2010. We look forward to hearing from you and having you be a part of a very exciting year to come.
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.

Not all individuals qualify and you’ll need to do your due diligence. Please see section179.org for more on how you could reap the benefits of this great offer!
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!
At GoMobile we certainly feel that the more business owners added to the GoMobile Network, the merrier the ad campaigns, conference calls and sharing of ideas. So we’re excited to have more representation added to the West Coast.
Two new operators have joined the mobile advertising team in San Francisco and Portland markets. Congratulations to the mobile billboard companies and we wish you all the best in your new business ventures.
Come join the fun! Call us at 877.727.6551 or contact us via our website.
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!
