You’ve Been Flocked & Now The Whole World Knows

Percival Fitzplastic Pink Flamingo IV — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:23:06 +0000

Imagine your 50th or 60th birthday morning. You already have enough aches and pains that you probably do not feel like celebrating. You turn on the coffee maker and head out to get the newspaper off the driveway. As soon as you open the front door you get the sense something is up but its early and you do not quite have your multiples together yet. As soon as your left foot steps off the proch it hits you, A sea of pink. Someone has placed 50 pink flamingos accross your front lawn. A neighbor honks as they drive by and you smile numbly and thats when you see the sign, “You’ve Been Flocked “ and now the whole world knows it.

Pink Flamingos In Demand

Percival Fitzplastic Pink Flamingo IV — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:21:07 +0000

If you are a manufacturer or true wholesaler of pink flamingos give us a call. We sell more flamingo items than most and our current suppliers cannot keep up. Pink flamingos are a niche item to be sure and we have many repeat customers so we are always looking for new product. E-mail us or give us a call and we would love to review new product lines. If you are a manufacturer of plastic flamingos we would really like to discuss pricing with you.

Pink Flamingo Lawn Ornaments Like Gold!

You thik your shipping charges are high have I got a story for you. We sell many flocks of pink flamingos and talk to people all over the world but one of our clients stands beak and feathers above the rest. We recently filled an order for a client in Sweden who ordered several cases of Pink Flamingos to resell to her own clients. Shipping charges to her country were in excess of $800. Granted she bought the best, the Featherstone Replicas which are made in America and we resold the birds to her at almost no profit but I really had to give her credit for her dedication to her clients when it came to searching the world for a product not available in her own country.

Shipment to Sweden

Here is a shout-out to our client in Sweden.

Plastic Flamingos Are So Expensive

Percival Fitzplastic Pink Flamingo IV — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:59:25 +0000

“Wow, that’s a big shipping charge.” Well, this is something we hear quite often right after people see how much it costs to ship the pink lawn flamingos. We have to agree, but the culprit is not the poor reseller (that would be us). Please take a moment to view the size and number of boxes that are shipped when a client orders 50 pink flamingos. Now you know how much truck space 50 pink flamingos take up. Shipping charges are based on truck space, not weight.

Plastic Flamingos Give Away

Percival Fitzplastic Pink Flamingo IV — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:22:12 +0000

We would like to tell everyone to stop by the Lady Luck Casino in Colorado.

We spoke to a great client there named Terri and she was having wonderful success with a Pink Flamingo Give-Away. Clientele would be awarded a pink lawn flamingo after accumulating sufficient points. If anyone would like more info, email or call us.

We also received a reorder form Beth Ann in Fountain Valley, Ca. She is doing multiple fundraisers and is also doing very well. Beth Ann’s cause is breast cancer and we sincerely hope she reaches her goal.

If anyone has “used” Pink Flamingos and wants to donate them to a great cause, please let us know. We will find a church, a youth group or someone like Beth Ann to make sure the pink flamingos are put to good use. Hopefully you will receive a tax write-off and we know the plastic flamingos will be put to good use. You can contact me by email or call me at 760-333-5104.

If you have a success story to share, or an upcoming fundraiser to post, this is a good spot because we get a lot of traffic and any advertising is good advertising.

Thanks,

Travis

Where Have all The Cheap Flamingos Gone

Percival Fitzplastic Pink Flamingo IV — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 16:51:13 +0000

If you are having a fundraiser or flocking someone for a celebratory reason you may have noticed that the plastic flamingo supply has dwindled severely especially the low cost pink flamingos. Well here is the reason, the supplier of the American Flamingos has pulled a boner. For unknown reasons, probably financial they have either pulled their birds or the actual manufacturer, the person molding the pink flamingos will not send anymore. It is a problem because these were the lowest cost quality pink flamingos on the market and many organizations have little money in order to purchase flocks and people that decide to flock someone as a gag has a budget also. There is a solution and that is reduction in flamingos per flock. Instead of 50 birds try 12 pairs or 24 birds. Instead of American purchase the Featherstone Replicas which by the way are far superior in every aspect except cost. The Don Featherstone Replicas are exact copies of the originals, they are taller and of course made in America. I would surmise that you would make more money with Featherstone Flamingos due to their looks anyways. Most of the clients that shop with us have elected to spend the same amount as before but now use the Featherstones in fewer numbers with the same financial results. Cheap flamingos be damned the Flamingo flocking must go on.

Flamingo Flocking Ideas

David Clark of Christian Life is having excellent results with his flocking fundraiser. He has made a video on You Tube to promote the event and here is the link (copy and paste to your browser) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46BXTV4MkKM if you are thinking about having a fundraiser watch the video. It is the first of at least two but shows how building buzz around your fundraiser can have excellent returns. David was extremely well prepared and fortunate enough to require more flocks. David has a unique approach and hopefully he will be able to help others learn successful ideas on how to stage their own Flamingo Flocking fundraisers. We wish him well and if you would like to contact him maybe he will share his approach with you.

Not All Lawn Ornaments are Pink Lawn Flamingos

Percival Fitzplastic Pink Flamingo IV — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 15:36:34 +0000

Pink Flamingos are cool and they serve as a great way to raise funds. Other types of lawn ornaments can really give your garden the “wow” factor.

Check out these rock Saguaro Cactus that are made by Travis when he is not selling Pink Lawn Flamingos.

This one has solar lights embedded at the top and is one of my favorites.

One of the local nurseries has requested a supply of them. What do you think of the rock art?

Hummingbird Feeders Are Cool Garden Decor

Percival Fitzplastic Pink Flamingo IV — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 00:20:25 +0000

I don’t know about you, but our parent’s plastic hummingbird feeders are about as trendy as Plastic Pink Lawn Flamingos. Both were designed in the 50’s and have not changed a whole lot. While the Pink Flamingo Lawn Ornament will never change much – that is part of their kitschy charm – plastic hummingbird feeders have come a long way. Check out these glass HB feeders, and you will have to agree that the new is way cooler than the old.

P.S. You’ll find many types of hummingbird feeders and plastic pink flamingos at www.PatioandGardenDecor.com and www.PinkLawnFlamingos.com

Plastic Flamingos – Compare and Save

Percival Fitzplastic Pink Flamingo IV — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 02:03:48 +0000

You are here because you are intelligent and really superior to all those other pink flamingo shoppers out there.

23.95 for a pair of Don Featherstone Replicas including shipping. Buy it here because I sincerely doubt you can find a better deal on any site for any pair of flamingos.

Now if you are looking to buy birds of color ( team colors that is ) that is a different flamingo (animal) altogether, so I suggest you take a moment and go to our other site, www.PatioandGardenDecor.com and there you will find the category “colored flamingos.“

We also list product and shipping seperately at www.patioandgardendecor.com

Deals such as

36 Featherstone replicas (18 pair) for $119.95 plus shipping. No way can you top that for replicas of Featherstone. Will not happen.

50 American Flamingos (25 pair) for $109.95 plus shipping. Slightly smaller and a different look than the Featherstones, but still made in America unlike those Communist China look-a-likes that fade in a month. (See E-Bay for samples of soon-to-fade flamingos). The bulk sales are factory direct, UV-filled, quality plastic flamingos. Did I mention my phone number in case you have a question or a problem it is listed on the home page in several spots. One other thing the American Flamingos 24 & 50 packs will be shipped may 12-2010 because we have sold so many at these low prices we completely underestimated the demand (shame on us) and now we must wait for our truckload to restock our empty shelves. If you place the order and get cold webbed feet we will gladly refund your money if we have not already shipped your birds. If you think your going to need the flamingos than order early because we will be shipping on first come basis. Got to be fair.

Thank you,

www.ThePinkFlamingoSite.com & www.patioandgardendecor.com
