Editor: By the way, what are some of your dad's impressions?
Kozlov: I think probably a higher percentage of dads buy our books than traditional picture books. I don't know the exact percentage, but probably about half of our customers who are buying are men. I think the biggest reason for this percentage is that our only sales tool is the internet. I have the impression that it is still mostly mothers and women who choose picture books in bookshops, but I think the reason why so many dads are reaching us is because they know about our products on the internet and can purchase them .......
Your dream of entering the world of numerous masterpieces and adventures may come true. ......!
Editor: Finally, may I ask about the future development of BÜKI?
Kozlov: In the future, first of all, we want to increase the number of different types of picture books. For example, learning picture books. For example, we would like to develop a storyline in which the hiragana used in the child's name is used to help them learn hiragana.
OF COURSE, WE WILL ALSO INCREASE THE VARIETY OF PERSONALISED PICTURE BOOKS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO BÜKI. AT THE SAME TIME, WE ARE FOCUSING ON COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHER COMPANIES. SPECIFICALLY, WE WANT TO CREATE PICTURE BOOKS IN WHICH CHILDREN CAN PLAY A LEADING ROLE AMONG THE PICTURE BOOKS OWNED BY EXISTING PUBLISHERS. FOR EXAMPLE, WE IMAGINE HOW HAPPY CHILDREN WOULD BE IF WE COULD COLLABORATE WITH FAMOUS WORKS SUCH AS 'ELMER AND THE DRAGON' OR 'GURI AND GURA' TO CREATE A BOOK IN WHICH CHILDREN APPEAR IN A PICTURE BOOK ALONGSIDE FAMOUS CHARACTERS, SUCH AS 'TARO KUN TO RYU' OR 'GURI TO GURA TO HANAKO-CHAN'. THAT'S WHY WE ARE CALLING ON SEVERAL PUBLISHERS TO USE OUR PLATFORM FOR PROJECTS WHERE CHILDREN AS READERS APPEAR IN PICTURE BOOKS.
Editor: That 's something to look forward to! Wouldn't it be great if we could share a 'Guri to Gura' sponge cake!
Kozlov: I've always wanted to put myself in various picture books ......, so I'd love to make it happen.
After the interview
FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW, THERE HAVE BEEN PRODUCTS THAT ONLY INCLUDE NAMES AND BIRTHDAY NUMBERS AND ARE CALLED "THE ONE AND ONLY ORIGINAL PICTURE BOOK IN THE WORLD!" THERE HAVE BEEN PRODUCTS THAT ARE "THE ONE AND ONLY ORIGINAL PICTURE BOOK IN THE WORLD! HOWEVER, I THOUGHT THAT SUCH APPARENT CUSTOMISATION WAS UNATTRACTIVE ......, BUT I WAS SURPRISED BY THE WORK OF BÜKI. NORMALLY, SUCH CUSTOMISATION WOULD REQUIRE A CONSIDERABLE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF COPIES PRINTED TO MAKE IT PROFITABLE. I THINK THE BEAUTY OF BÜKI LIES IN THE FACT THAT IT SOLVED THIS PROBLEM USING THE POWER OF THE INTERNET AND TECHNOLOGY, AND ACHIEVED A REASONABLE PRICE. WHY NOT GIVE IT TO YOUR CHILDREN FOR THEIR UPCOMING BIRTHDAYS?
