5 Innovative Mobile Business Concepts

Nowadays, the traditional brick and mortar locations for businesses are slowly becoming relics of the past as more and more consumers purchase products and services online instead of visiting a location in person. Retail, e-commerce and certain service related industries have benefited from the prominence of their online presence, however certain businesses require in person communication with their consumers when offering products or services. With the immediacy of being online, consumers are less patient, arguably lazier, and busier than ever before, therefore consumers lack the time to visit a grounded location to make purchases of goods and services.

In the face of consumers becoming increasingly resilient to conventional forms of marketing, entrepreneurs and business owners seek to offer potential consumers a fresher take on the purchasing experience that is free from the traditional forms of bias incurred upon  a product/service.Furthermore, some businesses are embracing developments with consumer trends and pivoting their business to become mobile, and specifically on wheels via the use of either a custom a van or truck. Entrepreneurs and business owners are capitalizing on the low upfront required for mobile businesses, in order to hit the road to meet with their consumers face-to-face and watching them experience their products / services first hand. While some businesses use their mobile business as their prime location, some use them as extensions of their business’ services, while others have a whole fleet of custom SUVs or vans, as all have witnessed their clientele base and earnings grow by hopping onto the mobile trend.

At HQ Custom Design, we pride ourselves in finding the mobile solution to assist in growing and expanding your business to new waves of consumers and new heights. Below see our countdown, in particular order, of what we here at HQ believe to be 5 mobile business concepts that are truly extraordinary.  

Mobile Hair Salon / Barbershop

Going to the hair salon or barbershop, is one of those services that we have automatically accepted must be done by visiting a physical location, although mobile hair salons and barbershops are proving that these shops can come to us. Including all of the equipment and offering all of the same services as those found in traditional locations, these mobile salons / barbershops are capable of visiting a booked client’s home, business or preferred meetup location, as well as station themselves in a busy commercial area to offer walk in appointments on demand to passerby patrons. For customers, the convenience factor is obvious although the customer experience demonstrates improvement as well with a more intimate hair cutting or styling experience in an elegant travel experience.

Mobile Movie Production Studio

When filming footage for film or TV Show, having a dedicated station for the directors, producers, editors and other supervisors and crew members to review incoming recorded footage is essential. Having such a location proves to be rather difficult when shooting in a somewhat remote location or busy commercial areas, therefore having a dedicated mobile production station with is capable of hauling both equipment and crew members is becoming now the go to solution for the industry. With a rear lift for unloading heavy camera equipment, TV monitors and workstation desks / tables for crew members, WiFi connectivity, among other features these mobile production studios can even function as mobile command centers, depending upon need and usage.

Mobile Command Center

This concept features a fully loaded corporate office command center that is outfitted with a number of workstation desk with computer monitors and rolling chairs, whiteboards, multiple TV security monitors, overhead and side cabinets, specialized equipment, among other interior components. When in use, these vans are outfitted with a professional team that is capable of coordinating onsite operations or transferring data  with on-the-ground personnel or with team members at an offsite location respectively.

Marketing Corporate Mobile Office

While it may not be the conventional practice, a number of banks, financial firms insurance companies, among others are using mobile offices as a means of performing community outreach to their clients and neighborhoods in general to offer onsite assistance and information regarding their products and services. Rather than speaking with a phone representative, these mobile offices will provide most of the functions that can be performed when visiting a traditional branch with the convenience of coming direct. Mobile office spaces are built to be sophisticated and inviting for consumers to create an environment that is a bit more intimate than that found in brick and mortar store.

Mobile Automotive Repair / Service Shop

There is a growing trend of mobile windshield repair, oil changing, detailing, and as of now mobile tire and wheel servicing, it is apparent that an increasing number of consumers and businesses are realizing a lesser need of visiting a traditional brick and mortar auto body / repair shop when servicing their basic automotive needs. These mobile auto shops are coming direct to consumers / businesses as means of servicing their automotive needs on their client’s schedule, in order to ensure minimal downtime and to get the vehicles back on the road as soon as possible.
