September 28th, 2009

Team Endorses High-Tech Offerings of Flogs.com

Indianapolis, Indiana (September 23, 2009) – HVM Racing is now a fan of Flogs.  The team has announced a partnership with Flogs.com, a site that provides free digital calendars of sporting events, concerts, CD releases and other events that can be synchronized to a user’s own personal calendar application.  Users visit Flogs.com to choose which schedules to download to their PC, Mac, Smartphone or other device and then integrate them with Outlook, Windows Live, Gmail calendar or other applications.

“Working with Flogs.com is a good opportunity,” said Keith Wiggins, team principal and owner of HVM Racing.  “Their technology is exciting and is certain to grow as more people learn about it.  We’re happy to be a part of it.”

The Netherlands-based Flogs.com launched in 2008 and believes HVM Racing and the IndyCar Series are good partners to promote its service in the United States.

“Since the beginning of this year, we have been involved with the IndyCar Series through our support of Robert Doornbos and have seen great success,” said Toon Timmermans, founder and CEO of Flogs International.  “For this reason we have decided to add HVM Racing to our sponsoring portfolio.  This new partnership will be key in achieving our goals.”

Quote, june 2009

July 29th, 2009

Another article about Flogs in the Dutch Quote:

FLOG YOU!

Michiel Mol en Toon Timmermans leveren online kalenderdownloads voor digitale agenda’s. Als je gebruikers niet in twintig seconden kunt enthousiasmeren voor een nieuwe internettoepassing, is het geen goed concept. ‘

Internetondernemers Michiel Mol (39) en Toon Timmermans (31) zijn de drijvende kracht achter Flogs, naar eigen zeggen een unieke internettool waarmee digitale kalenders automatisch gedownload en bijgewerkt kunnen worden. Van concertagenda’s tot speeldata van uw favoriete team, vliegtijden en school roosters. ‘Een simpel concept dat tot op heden nog door niemand is bedacht’, stellen de ondernemers. Mol en Timmermans hebben hoge verwachtingen van Flogs. ’Aan het einde van het jaar moeten we wereldwijd miljoenen gebruikers hebben en vele tienduizenden agenda’s delen.’ Dat resultaat hopen Mol en Timmermans te bereiken door allereerst grote bedrijven aan zich te binden. In Nederland heeft Flogs al samenwerkingscontracten gesloten met PSV, Ajax, The Entertainment Group en televisiebedrijf RTL voor het aanbieden van hun digitale agenda’s. Eenzelfde benadering hebben de ondernemers in petto voor het buitenland: ‘Wij richten ons direct op de VS, Groot-Brittannie, Duitsland en de Benelux. Daarna willen we ook China, India en Japan veroveren. Omdat we zelf maar weinig contacten hebben in Zuid-Afrika, Zwitserland, Portugal en Brazilie, hebben we daar ruim twintig internationale agenten in dienst om bedrijven voor ons concept te motiveren.’

De samenwerking tussen de twee internetentrepreneurs is nog maar kort geleden beklonken. Timmermans: ‘Ik heb carriere gemaakt met mijn eigen uitgeverij, waarmee ik jaarlijks achthonderdduizend sport- en sportclubagenda’s verkocht. Toen ik de informatie uit die boekjes ook digitaal wilde aanbieden, bleek dat niet te kunnen.’Met al het geld dat hij verdiende met de verkoop van zijn bedrijf in 2006, ontwikkelde Timmermans de protoversie van Flogs: ‘Het bouwen van die software bleek echter veel duurder dan verwacht en ook had ik behoefte aan een breder netwerk.’ Eind 2008 vond hij een zakenpartner in Michiel Mol, die eerder naam maakte met internetonderneming Lost Boys, het digitale mediabednjf Media Republic en als commissaris en adviseur van een eigen Formule l-team. Mol: ‘Daar had ik eigenlijk geen actieve dagelijkse rol meer en dus was ik op zoek naar een idee waarmee ik weer aan een bedrijf kon bouwen. Ik heb honderden aanbiedingen gehad voor samenwerkingen, maar pas bij het bedrijf van Timmermans was ik verkocht’. Amper een maand na hun kennismaking tekenden de ondernemers een oprichtingscontract voor voortzetting en uitbreiding van Timmermans’ concept. Mol zou zich gaan toeleggen op marketing, Timmermans op sales.

Flogs moet veel geld gaan opleveren via zogenoemde slimme advertenties.’Google doet het op een zoekpagina, wij in iemands digitale agenda’, licht Timmermans toe: kleine links naar specifieke diensten in de kalenders. Een voorbeeld: ‘Bij een vermelding van een race van de Formule 1 nemen we ook korte advertenties op van aanbieders van kaartjes voor het evenement, hotels en eventueel luchtvaartmaatschappijen.’ Volgens Mol is dergelijke reclame goed te verkopen aan bedrijven: ‘Wij bieden adverteerders niet alleen informatie over wie iemand is en wat zijn interesses zijn, maar ook wanneer er in de toekomst een mogelijk interessant evenement plaatsvindt waarin een klant geinteresseerd is. Wij zitten letterlijk in iemands agenda, en dat kunnen maar weinig andere bedrijven zeggen.’ Mol en Timmermans geloven heilig in hun digitale kalender. ’We groeien nu met dertig procent per maand, reken maar uit hoe lang het met zo’n snelheid duurt voor we de hele wereld veroverd hebben.’

Graham Rahal and Robert Doornbos were preceded at the team by Mario and Michael Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Paul Tracy, Christian Fittipaldi, Cristiano da Matta, Sebastien Bourdais, Bruno Junqueira, Oriol Servia and Justin Wilson. The deal was facilitated by GR8industries.com.
