OUTDOOR ADVERTISING

(2)

At Mojebillboardy.cz you can in one place…you can compare the prices and the locations of billboards of many different agencies which have outdoor advertising in your city, you don’t have to call one by one and then negotiate on price, compare their different locations. You have it on one website. It’s something like an aggregator if…as if you are going to buy in e-shop, you also don’t go comparing and opening 20 e-shops, you also go for Heureka.cz or Zboží.cz to compare. So it’s like a comparison website like this one.

At the beginning, I was little bit afraid of starting my own company because I didn’t know anything about

programming, website design, I didn’t have all the time to do all the jobs that are necessary for the business, but it surprised me that you can easily buy or easily team up with people who know this…who know do this things or you can buy them on the market. And even you can buy…and the services from people you haven’t even seen before. For example, my programmer and graphic designers are from Plzeň. We are talking on Skype and using Google Docs. We have never seen each other, but the cooperation works and they have done a great job. I have a part-time assistant for the data entry for the website who lives in Přerov and she…I have never seen her, but she is working and I reward her based on the results of her work. For the entrepreneur competition I was in…I needed to do a video animation. And I said I don’t know anything about video animation, but I went to a different website and I put there an ad asking for an animator and, of course, I got an animator who is based in Brno. I didn’t go to Brno, but using Skype, Google Docs and everything, I had a video made just in time, in 48 hours when I needed. So, this is wonderful world of Internet and modern technology. You don’t need to do everything yourself. There are so many people who are ready to help you with that. At fist, I thought I will be helping big companies with huge budgets and I will become millionaire in a few months. But it proved that it was tougher, tougher than I thought and the big companies didn’t even want to talk to me. But when you start a website which provides something useful to the companies, the people will find you. So, instead of big companies, a lot of small companies wanted to talk to me about outdoor advertising and wanted to buy billboards from me. So, that’s the way I started, in different way, with the small companies instead of big ones. In the big companies, the buyers are not the owners of the companies, so they are not the most interested in the company’s profit and the prices, but they are more interested the benefits for themselves such as getting a free lunch, getting some kick-backs from the company or just saving time, just having a salesman do everything and give them whole package. So, they don’t even want to decide themselves. So, that’s why it’s little bit harder to sell to the big companies and selling by a website is more efficient for the small companies yet.

Na Mojebillboardy.cz můžete na jednom místě… můžete porovnávat ceny a umístění billboardů mnoha různých agentur, které provozují venkovní reklamu ve vašem městě. Nemusíte jim jednotlivě volat, smlouvat o ceně a porovnávat různá umístění. Vše je na jedněch webových stránkách. Funguje to na bázi agregátoru. Když chcete něco koupit v internetovém obchodu, také neporovnáváte a nenavštívíte 20 internetových obchodů. Půjdete na

Heureka.cz nebo ba Zboží.cz a budete porovnávat. Čili je to jako takovéto porovnávací stránky. Zpočátku jsem se trochu bál rozjet svůj vlastní podnik, protože jsem nevěděl nic o programování, o tvorbě webových stránek, neměl jsem čas dělat všechny potřebné práce, které se musí dělat ve firmě. Ale překvapilo mě, jak je jednoduché spojit se s lidmi, kteří to umějí… víte, tyto věci, nebo si je koupit na trhu. A dokonce si můžete koupit… služby lidí, kteří jste nikdy neviděli. Například, můj programátor a grafici jsou z Plzně. Bavíme se po Skypu a využíváme Google Docks. Nikdy jsme se neviděli, ale spolupráce funguje a oni odvedli dobrou práci. Mám asistentku na částečný úvazek pro zadávání dat na webové stránky, která bydlí v Přerově. Nikdy jsem ji neviděl, ale pracuje a odměňuji ji na základě výsledků její práce. Pro jednu podnikatelskou soutěž jsem potřeboval video animaci. Řekl jsem si, že o video animaci nic nevím a tak jsem se podíval na jedny webové stránky a zadal jsem si tam inzerát, že hledám programátora a samozřejmě jsem získal animátora z Brna. Do Brna jsem nejel, ale použili jsme Skype, Google Docs, apod. nechal jsem si to video udělat a do 48 hodin bylo hotové. Takže to je ten skvělý svět Internetu a moderních technologií. Nemusíte dělat všechno sami. Je tolik lidí, kteří jsou připraveni vám s tím pomoct. Nejprve jsem si myslel, že budu pomáhat velkým firmám s velkým rozpočtem a že za pár měsíců budu milionář. Ale ukázalo se, že to bude těžší, než jsem myslel. Velké firmy se mnou ani nechtěly mluvit. Ale když provozujete webovou stránku s něčím užitečným pro firmy, lidi si vás najdou. Takže místo velkých firem se mnou chtěla mluvit o venkovní reklamě spousta malých, které ode mne kupovaly billboardy. Takže takto jsem začal. Jinak, s malými firmami místo velkých. Ve velkých firmách nejsou nákupčí majiteli firem, takže je zisk firmy a ceny zas tak nezajímají. Zajímají se ale o vlastní prospěch, jako oběd zdarma, požitky, které mohou od firmy dostat anebo jen o ušetření času, kdy obchodník za ně vše udělá a dá jim hotový balíček. Takže ani nechtějí sami rozhodovat. Takže proto je těžké prodávat velkým firmám a prodej přes internet se lépe hodí zatím pro menší firmy.

EXERCISE 7

At Mojebillboardy.cz, in one place you can in one place…you can compare the prices and the locations of billboards of many different agencies which have outdoor advertising in your city. You don’t have to call one by one and then negotiate on a price, or compare their different locations. You have it on in one website. It’s something like an aggregator if…as if you are going to buy something in an e-shop, you also don’t go comparing and need to opening 20 e-shops either, you also go for to Heureka.cz or Zboží.cz to compare. So it’s like a comparison website like this these ones.

At the beginning, I was little a bit afraid of starting my own company because I didn’t know anything about programming, or website design, and I didn’t have all the time to do all the jobs that are necessary for developing the business. but It surprised me that you can easily buy or easily team up with people who know this …who know how to do this these things or you can buy them on in the market. And You can even you can buy…and the services from people you haven’t even ever seen before. For example, my programmer and graphic designers are from Plzeň. We are talking on Skype and using use Google Docs. We have never seen each other, but the cooperation works and they have done a great job. I have a part-time assistant for the data entry for the website who lives in Přerov and she…I have never seen her, but she is working and I reward her based on the results of her work.

For the an entrepreneur competition I was in…I needed to do a video animation. And I said I don’t know anything about video animation, but I went to a different website and I put an ad there an add asking for an animator and, of course, I got an animator who is based in Brno. I didn’t go to Brno, but using Skype, Google Docs and everything else we needed, I had a video made just in time, in 48 hours when I needed it. So, this is the wonderful world of the Internet and modern technology. You don’t need to do everything yourself. There are so many people who are ready to help you with that. At first, I thought I will be helping big companies with huge budgets and I will become a millionaire in a few months. But it proved that it was tougher, much tougher than I thought and the big companies didn’t even want to talk to me. But when you start a website which provides something useful to the companies, the people will find you. So, instead of big companies, a lot of small companies wanted to talk to me about outdoor advertising and wanted to buy billboards from me. So, that’s the way I started, in a different way, with the small companies instead of big ones.

In the big companies, the buyers are not the owners of the companies, so they are not the most very interested in the company’s profit and the prices, but they are more interested in the benefits for themselves such as getting a free lunch, getting some kick-backs from the company or just saving time, just or having a salesman do everything and give them the whole package. So, They don’t even want to decide for themselves. So, that’s why it’s a little bit harder to sell to the big companies and selling by via a website is still more efficient for the small companies yet.
