8 Ways a Custom Mobile Vessel Works For Your Business

Mobile businesses are popping up everywhere and they’re not just food trucks these days. These mobile vessels can range anywhere from mobile healthcare, military and U.S. government units, mobile retail shops/popups, moving hair salons and barbershops, food trucks and much more. 

Where a storefront offers a solid location for patrons to easily locate you, adding or even eliminating the brick and mortar can offer many benefits such as mobile advertising, hosting different locations/events, more flexible and comfortable hours, etc. With the list below we dive into the top ways a custom mobile vessel can work for your business, give it a read and let’s start strategizing! 

  1. Gain a new customer base, some customers live for the food truck scene and opt out of the same ole sit down restaurants - this is a great opportunity for a local brick and mortar business to branch out in a cost effective manner for a second location, and to appeal to a whole new audience.

  2. Living in the New and the Now, a mobile business allows owners to change up their offerings, location, hours, marketing, etc.

  3. Participate in Community events, get more involved with the community, festivals, gatherings and more to target a bigger audience.

  4. Utilizing social media, if you are moving around quite a bit this is a great way to advertise and build a following to let customers know your branding and what’s available today/this week/etc.

  5. Creatively thinking outside the box, mobile businesses are meant to stand out, utilize this opportunity to channel your creativity to draw customers in.

  6. Travel to new heights, move around to different areas where your business may not be known -remember, mobile businesses are moving advertisements!

  7. Cultivate comfort, being comfortable at work everyday is not a luxury for everyone, being a mobile business operator means you have the ability to make your days more comfortable, fun and exciting.

  8. Cost effective expansion, when starting or expanding a mobile business it is a proven cost effective approach to starting/expanding a business, and here’s how: inventory costs are low, startup costs are lower than a brick and mortar in comparison to leasing a building there is high monthly overhead, whereas a mobile unit can be paid off and owned in a timely manner.

With all of these great benefits a mobile unit has to offer a business, an important element to consider is the unit itself. These days the mobile business scene is becoming more competitive and creating a stand out vessel is crucial to drawing your audience in for the wow factor.
