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.
GoMobile® Lowers Mobile Billboard Vehicle Costs By Reaching Dynamic Partnership
GoMobile® Ad Vehicles, the leader in mobile scrolling billboard trucks, is continuing to break barriers in the out-of-home advertising industry. After four years of providing high-quality scrolling ad vehicles and unmatched business support to entrepreneurs in the out-of-home advertising industry, GoMobile® is excited to announce its partnership with Billboards 2 Go, a premier mobile billboard manufacturer known for its quality, affordability and reliability in the industry.
Not only will GoMobile® offer new advertising truck models, 510 GMAV and 610 GMAV, but trailers have been added to the product line. Clients can also utilize their existing chassis to convert to a mobile billboard vehicle by purchasing the 510 or 610 Module. With the added ability to retrofit any existing scrolling billboard truck with GoMobile’s adaptable scrolling system, this new partnership has something for everyone.
“By partnering with Billboards 2 Go, we’re able to provide vehicles to the marketplace at a significant decrease in cost,” said Chris Schuler, President of GoMobile®. “This will bridge the financial gap for entrepreneurs looking to enter this business and additionally enable our existing GoMobile® Affiliate Network to increase their fleet for far less investment than before.” In addition to its affordability, GoMobile® hand-inspected the Billboards 2 Go product before partnering. “Our recent visit with the President of Billboards 2 Go, Rick Vasquez, gave me the opportunity to see their product first hand. I am impressed with their vehicle and with Rick’s willingness to produce ad vehicles for GoMobile that meet our high standards.”
Rick Vasquez said of the partnership, “We were very excited when Chris approached us with this partnership. We have always strived to be leaders in the mobile billboard industry by bringing an affordable, quality product to market. With GoMobile’s expertise and brand awareness, I am proud to say that we have achieved this goal. We look forward to continuing our manufacturing of quality ad vehicles for the GoMobile® brand.”
Billboards 2 Go has been engineering and manufacturing mobile billboard vehicles for over 3 1/2 years, and with their unmatched engineering capabilities and the affordability of their product line, both parties expect a long and dynamic relationship.
With over 110 vehicles in the United States and a National Affiliate Network in over 60 markets, GoMobile® is the only national affiliate network of mobile scrolling billboard operators in the world. The network has executed non-traditional and mobile advertising campaigns for Sprite, Hitachi, Miller Chill, Dos Equis, KFC, Dunkin’ Donuts and AT&T, among others.
Out-of-home advertising is expected to grow faster than any other advertising medium, from 7.6 billion in 2007 to 10.2 billion in 2011 (eMarketer, 2009.)

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!
What do we base purchase decisions on? Personal preference, family consideration, compulsive thought, good deal…
We live in a world where the choices are endless and the task of choosing is more complicated than ever. We are forced to take the time to consider all the options and take the time to do our due diligence. Here at the office, we can understand that. When choosing a mobile advertising truck we flew all over the country looking at a variety of options: Trivisions, Chinese built options, and trucks that almost hit the mark but when looking at the details were deceptive in their build.
We nearly settled for what we thought was the best we could find, but in the 11th hour found Motionadz which had it all: experience, reputation, excellence, passion and a desire to work for the customer.
We almost ended up in the same situation we see so many other advertising truck owners: looking back at their decision full of regret. I can’t tell you how often we have miserable advertising truck owners call us. Nearly every week we have someone who has regretted their buying decision in purchasing from a competitor and then coming to us, hoping they can still join the network or have their vehicle retrofitted with our scrolling system? Why?
Well, there are a number of reasons, but the number one is that what these customers are being told is not actually true. So whether you’re speaking with us or speaking with one of our competitors, call references. And don’t just call one or two, call several. Ask them if the company does what it says.
Hindsight is always 20/20. Doing your research now and choosing the best the first time can give you the confidence you need to start (and keep doing) business. Come join the GoMobile Advertising Network: it really is better over here.
