What are the advantages to use SkyBoard in the advertising market ?
The advantages of our dynamic advertising tools are that you and your clients can choose freely where and when they want to display giant banners, not depending on free advertising spaces or the existence of buildings or scaffolds for banners in the requested area.
With SkyBoard you can open a new market for giant banners at high rental rates, because the temporally and geographically independent and targeted tactical advertising with big dimensioned banners will enable you to offer new advertising spaces and to break through the today’s media clutter with high impact and a big monetary surplus.

When I buy a SkyBoard is the truck included ?
No, SkyBoard can be transported with common towing trucks. Soon we will offer also the purchase of trucks.

What if I want to order more than 2 SkyBoards , is there a discount ?
SkyBoards are manufactured in serial production and depending if you order 2 or more units at once or in a period of may be 1 or 2 years we offer you a special quantity discounts.

Can I have exclusivity within my territory ?
We don’t offer protected territories and we are not a franchise. You can freely operate anywhere without territory restriction. Furthermore, we do not charge any royalties or on-going fees. Our profit margin comes from the sales of our SkyBoards and when you purchase additional ones.
However, your questions of protected areas or exclusivity are fair, because there is in fact a certain advantage if someone is the first and only operator in his area. Other potential buyers may refuse to buy SkyBoards if there is already a number of SkyBoards in their market. But please consider that in the advertising market are many different mobile advertising solutions and as SkyBoard could be transported easily we can not guarantee any protection. That’s why we are convinced that offering protected areas is misleading the client. Not to have protected areas will be your benefit, because you can freely operate with the SkyBoards without any territory restriction. Moreover a better market-coverage with more SkyBoards will achieve a higher acceptance of a new media by the media buyers and advertisers.

If I purchase a SkyBoard and then someone comes in and buys 10 and starts renting them for less ?
Even if someone buys 10 SkyBoards at once it is not realistic to make offers at very low charter prices, because the amortization of the purchase, transport, service and banner production got its price and this makes it impossible to offer rentals at big discount rates. Furthermore the rates are always depending on the quality of locations, the events you can realize and on the budget of the advertisers.
However the market of SkyBoards is far away from any saturation and the first purchasers got the big chance to develop a new advertising media in any territory they want. Depending on their marketing concept and at the base of their early experiences with this new media the first owners can achieve a central position in the advertising and event market, which is the biggest advantage against possible later competitors.
As your SkyBoards can not be everywhere at once and neither the ones of other owners, it also can be a large advantage that there are more SkyBoards in an area to satisfy the advertising and event market with their special requirements. That’s why we encourage SkyBoard owners to take part in our network, where each owner can generate revenues for himself by cross selling advertising campaigns on each other’s SkyBoards. Our network of SkyBoard owners offers to the advertisers the choice to select SkyBoards operating cooperatively together or in different areas and countries.

How long have you been working with SkyBoard and in the advertising business ?
Skyboard is a Dutch invention and exists in the European advertising and event market since more than 5 years, starting in 2002. Our stuff is working in outdoor advertising with giant banners on scaffolds and wallscapes since about 15 years. In former times European advertising companies have been searching for dynamic advertising tools to display big banners, which are mobile, safe, fast and easy to use, but most of these tools, as for example inflatables or little trailers, have been a size too small, were not usable in an easy way or under hard weather conditions.
We made our experiences with SkyBoards all over Europe, especially in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. After now 5 years of experiences improving and introducing this media in the advertising and event market the business is growing more and more. As the transport of SkyBoard to far countries is too expensive that a rental service could be done only from one country all over Europe or the whole world we decided to sell our outstanding products worldwide.

There are any competitors in the market ?
There are no real competitors of MSB International in the market, because until today other companies didn’t achieve our high technical standard to display giant banners with a size of 13,1 m H x 12 m W. However all advertising tools which may are comparable don’t achieve the elegance, versatility and safety of SkyBoard with its innovative technology. We don’t want to slander possible competitors in any way but we have 100% confidence in our product and our advantage of experience.

How long does it take to manufacture and to deliver SkyBoard ?
If there are no SkyBoards in our stock it takes 10-12 weeks after order confirmation to manufacture a new SkyBoard. Our production site is able to produce up to 10 units at the same time.
Inside Europe the delivery will be done in approx. 7 days. The delivery to countries outside of Europe could be longer, because there are some uncontrollable variables in international shipping as unpredictable port authorities and the worldwide high occupancy rate of international ports that the shipment could have an delay for as long as additional 4 weeks. We do our best to deliver in the shortest time possible and we will inform you about every step of production and shipping.


Will you deliver SkyBoard to my location ?
We deliver Ex Works but the transport to your location in Europe or to an international port in Europe (FOB) could be done by our stuff at cost price.

Is it possible to talk to companies which already purchased SkyBoard ?
We don’t impose such requirements to companies, which purchased a SkyBoard and all the current owners made their decision to buy it based solely on the high quality of our advertising tool. Most of your questions will be related to the buyer’s insecurities to start with such a new advertising tool as: “How much money you can earn by renting SkyBoard?” or “Can I see your business plan?” Please acknowledge that most of the owners don’t want to talk about their individual earnings and plans. Other potential purchasers may want to test their market before making their decision to purchase, but even if we can understand this request it could be contra-productive, when clients show a big interest and want to book it, but you are not able to deliver the service. A lot of clients are seeking for experiences with a new media before booking it – they want to see SkyBoard working and existing in their market and then they will book it. To get an impression how much you could earn with SkyBoard it helps to investigate the prices of static giant banner sites on wallscapes and scaffolds in your market and to calculate a margin on top of the daily price, because of the tactical and more targeted possibilities to use SkyBoard. The most important question is how to run the business and how to sell the rental service of SkyBoard and this depends mostly on your concept and the management skills of you and your stuff. In any case we will inform you about the different concepts and market opportunities at the base of our experiences.

How can we make arrangements to see SkyBoard ?
As it is a new product still there are no SkyBoards all over world. You are welcome in the Netherlands, Italy or at another place in Europe where SkyBoards are working. We would like to invite you to see how SkyBoard is manufactured and how it works. May it is a long way, but it makes sense to visit us, because this new advertising tool gives you the chance to develop a new market in your country with big benefits.
You will be impressed to see SkyBoard with your own eyes and we will do our best to make your trip unforgettable. For the European customers there is also the possibility to rent it for a promotional event. Please ask for more information.
