Mobile Economy Podcast

With a suspected snow storm on the horizon here in North Carolina we need to cover what systems you should have in place to assure your saftey in not only the snow, but also just the cold. In this episode we discuss the best practices with things like tires, saftey kits, and tips to try and draw more people out to your trucks. Overall, if we do wind up getting a bit of snow we hope that you all stay safe! If we missed any snow/winter tips that you think are extremely important please let us know!

Throughout the past few months we have been receiving questions about where and how you should start a podcast. In the beginning, it can be tough, but with ample planning and minimal investment you can be up and releasing your weekly podcasts in no time. Here at MOBLZ we have a very low budget podcast setup due to the fact that we are not aiming to make money from our episodes. Depending on what aim you want to take, you can spend thousands of dollars or you can spend no dollars. At the very least, if there is a topic that you are passionate about you should consider recording a podcast about it. Especially if there are no other podcasts like it. We would love to help you out so if you have any questions please let us know! Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Twitter

Now that the holidays and New Years are over it's time to focus on Valentine's Day! As a property manager there are plenty of ways to engage your tenants during this unique holiday. One thing that will make it stand out from the rest is by hosting a Food Truck Valentine's Day event. Invite small businesses as vendors, bring in Chocolate wizzards, and even a florist that can supply your love with a bouquet to last.  We would love to hear about your event ideas or about some events you have hosted in the past! What has worked? What hasn't? This way we can continue to share with you different ideas for your properties and how we can build this Mobile Economy!  Reach out to us at vendorsupport@moblz.com or by visiting any of our social media pages below or by visiting our website!

It's that time of the year where the grease is in the air, the fryers are boiling up, and we are ready to submerge ourselves into the state fair! Life is too short and the fair food is too yummy to resist the temptations. There are some none fried options that we defiantly recommend you give a try. Who knows when they may be available again. I personally love seeing what the food trucks create for the fair because I get to see their creativity at its finest. We apologize if you are not in the area to come to the North Carolina state fair. You could always stop on by and give it a try.

The transition from internal combustion engines to battery operated vehicles is not happening as fast as we anticipated. It still takes time and money to stop and fill up your tank. In this episode we discuss the rise of mobile fuel trucks that will travel to your location and fill up your vehicle. The current players in this market are Yoshi, Neighborhood Fuel, and Purple. Some of us may search for the lowest priced gas, but if the gas came to you would you pay a premium? Right now we are just seeing services like these in large/populated cities but who knows this could cause the death of the gas station. Just like Uber causing the death of the taxi cab.  To be featured in future podcasts please email podcast@moblz.com .
