Hi Marlon, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for sharing your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
I got started through the billboard company I was dealing with, and I told them that I wanted to get into the business, so they coached me and coached me until I got it down-packed. Now I’m The Billboard Goat! I also do celebrity billboards, so I’m successful in the billboard business. I’ve had over 100 clients and haven’t been in business for a year. God is Good!
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Nothing is ever going to go smoothly, lol. It’s easy and cool, but the struggles come when we have a system glitch. A company buying us out of all slots is a struggle, especially when the people who booked that day can’t see their billboard then. So that is the struggle for me cause some things are out of my control.
I appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Billboards By MQJ?
My business is Digital Billboards (Marketing); I put promotional ads on billboards throughout the United States. I’m known for being an Actor, Mental Health Advocate, and now Billboards. What sets me apart from others is that others who do billboards don’t have the same clientele as me. I have clientele in about 10 states, and I do billboards for more people in other states than my own, so I’m winning! I’m most proud that I don’t have to work a 9-5 cause the billboards have changed my life. My brand offers Digital Billboards in every city/state in the United States or nearby cities!
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is that when business isn’t going as planned, be ready to give a refund or ensure the customer is satisfied!
