They met at uni.At first the company wasn't called bq outsourcedWell economic situation by that time in Spain and they took advantage of that They grow up at certain point they werent able to accomplish the delivery times

bq: The history of spanish companyElectronic bookLuarna Ediciones, owned by Antonio Quirs, ask the company for a collaboration.They founded Mundo Reader S.L.Their first product: booq Classicbooq" - oo" bq

How star tic innovation became bq. It was thanks to this man: Antonio Quiros, the owner of Luarna ediciones. They were the first ones to get the distribution rights of digital books in pdf but there werent many devices to read them. So Antonio Quirs, father of one of the main partners of Star TIC Innovation, asked them to do a collaboration. That was the beginning of the new association of this two companies. Together they created Mundo Reader S.L. Their first product, an electronic book, was named booq Classic. The company got an important part of the electronic books market. In 2010, they aimed to new products, the tablets. They change the name of the brand to bq

bq: The history of spanish companySmartphonesIn the summer of 2012 bq began working on their first smartphone In 2013 the bq Aquaris 4.5 was launched Features:ARM Dual Core Cortex A9 1GHz1 GB RAM1,600 mAh of battery

In the summer of 2012 .The company wanted to aim to this new market because the main telephone operators were starting to remove their terminals subvention programs and the interest among the users of having a good cheap smartphone grew. In Spain there weren't an important competition in this market because companies such as Huawei and ZTE hadnt an important presence in the country yet. bq had a lot of experience seeing tabletsThey release in 2013 the aquaria 4.5 featuresbq: The history of spanish companybq factory tests

bq: The history of spanish companynowdaysTwo main values:Good price quality ratio Great customer servicebq doesnt advertise

In order to compete with the biggest brands in the market, bq has invested in two main things since its creation: good price quality ratio and a great customer service. bq kepis the prices low by no advertising. They made their mobiles in china, which also saves a lot of many but also they save a lot by no advertising. This tactic gives bq a huge advantage in terms of price over its opponents in the market as Samsung for instance, whose brand spends a lot of money on marketing.

And (next diapo)With a customer service you can ruin yourself one of two ways, a fast one and a slow oneRodrigo del Pradobq: The history of spanish companyThe fast one is by giving the same customer service level forever. It is easy to run out of money because the benefits arent enough to cover the past problems. The slow one is decreasing the customer service level so the clients gets mad because you dont repair their products. bq was aware hat with cheap products there was a lot of possibilities of something going wrong, so bq invested in giving their clients a great support. However, as they began doing smartphones and having more options on the personalization of their products, the cost of maintaining their products decreased. So bq started giving the same customer service but with less people, saving a lot of money there. bq: The history of spanish companyNumber of employees
