Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Erik Simmons. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Erik, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
I always wanted to see myself on a billboard growing up because that was a sign that you made it big! So once I became an entrepreneur and had businesses to promote on billboards I wanted to get one asap. I learned quickly how expensive it was and then I understood why only big companies were on billboards. So I learned the game and started purchasing my own billboard slots on major billboards so I can promote my businesses which lead me being able to start my own billboard company to allow small businesses to promote their brands along side the other major companies. I know this would be major cause its a opportunity a lot of small businesses wouldn’t get. Now I offer billboards nationwide!
Erik, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My business is called E&J Media and we specialize in putting businesses on digital billboards nationwide. The Difference with us versus other billboards companies is how flexible we are. We offer daily and hourly slots, multiple locations, multiple ads all for affordable pricing and even Afterpay. Which is major for business with marketing budgets so they can grow while not spending all of their cash. We also offer drone services with video editing and social media managing to help grow across the board.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Simply doing good business. Once you delivery on the job, the client will show their friends, and family and followers and then they will reach out to you to get the same great service as well. Which is important for my business because we are one of the few who offer digital billboard placements so its important to show we do good business.
How did you build your audience on social media?
I started by offering major influencers free digital billboards to grow their brands. In return grow my brand on social media because now everybody who wanted a digital billboard knows where to go to get it at.
