How to carry out a 100 million dollar "one-man show" through a severe crisis? Where to invest when others fail? How to give the market exactly what it needs with your own brand? How does the largest Czech snowboard e-shop plan to expand into the EU?
We apologize, but due to serious reasons, the June meeting with Eshopista was moved to September. We will inform you about the exact date, thank you for your understanding.
The boom is over, but we keep selling!
The largest domestic e-shop with equipment for snowboards has experienced a sharp free-ride in its history.
14 years ago, Roman Blažek caught the snowboarding boom. He opened a brick-and-mortar store and was the first in the country to start online sales of sporting goods at Snowboards.cz. He was doing well. He brought to the market what there was a hunger for - affordable snowboards, under his own brand Westig. Snowboards.cz soon became a hundred million dollar business. Four years ago, however, sales slowed down due to the crisis, Czechs began to try adrenaline sports and the demand for snowboards weakened. At a time when the competition was collapsing, Blažek started to invest – in warehouses, logistics, products – and weathered the market crisis. It now has representation in 11 countries and plans to expand throughout the EU with an investor.
Do not hesitate and come to the second meeting with the e-shop, which will take place on June 5 in Prague. To apply the 20% discount, use the code acomware-02-mnb. You can register here: https://www.eshopista.cz/akce/roman-blazek-snowboards-cz-64
Roman Blazek
The former snowboard competitor opened a brick-and-mortar shop for snowboards and snowboarding supplies in Vrchlabí in the millennium year 2000 as a "fandom". Two years later, he offered something unattainable to enthusiasts of the sport - affordable snowboards - under his own new Westige brand.
When the brick-and-mortar store and its own brand of snowboards were supplemented by the possibility to buy goods on the Internet, the first Czech online seller of snowboarding equipment was born.
Roman Blažek headed the largest Czech snowboarding e-shop Snowboards.cz for over 13 years, although - as he says - he is no marketing expert, he managed to build an e-shop from his "100 million one-man show" that has the ambition to conquer the EU.
