Thanks for clicking on this last page in our tour through the cyberland of ALFs! I thought the price list above would be the best and quickest way of introducing our family of accessories. Some of them are shown in the image below. You'll find that story + opportunities available for exclusive distributorship at the end of this page.
OK, so what's the story on accessories? Let's tackle a few items.
1. Ambassador Badges -- You'll find a typical collection of badges on the left side of the image. The show you the range -- which is to say anything is possible. Whether you need a standard stock round or rectangular panel or a customized panel like the DESERT STORM or "Mystery Emblem" shapes, please rest assured we can do it -- and do it very well. Since most of your needs will have to be custom-made, please keep in mind these points:
_ The one-time silk-screening charge is $125 for 2-3 colors and $150 for 4-5 colors, so that's an up-front investment that's going to take a bite out of your pocket.
_ Try to keep that up-front bite to a minimum by avoiding the need for new tooling, which as you know costs a pretty buck ($225 and up). You can avoid up-front tooling costs by tapping the huge inventory of tools we've accumulated over the past 57 years of manufacturing. Standard shapes are rounds, rectangles, squares, ovals, shield of all sorts, and many others. The best plan is to send us your design, and we'll send you a suggestion for the most appropriate stock panel. No surprise, you want to avoid blank empty areas so we'll choose a panel that fits your design snugly.
_ We can always make for you a minimum retail run of 50 pieces at a price of $4.75 per piece for 4 colors (add 20¢/piece for each extra color). But I think making so few pieces is a waste of money, frankly, for I like to spend your money as carefully as I do my own. A better idea is to make 100 pieces, which we consider a normal badge-production run and charge a normal wholesale price, namely $3.15/piece for 4 colors (extra colors as above). Obviously, prices are lower at higher quantities, and you get price breaks at 250, 500, and 1,000 pieces. Call or email for details.
_ If you know the PMS (Pantone® Matching System) color specifications for your logo or design you are way ahead of most people. We need it to mix our inks in preparation for your job. If you walk into your local printer's shop, you are in the right place for finding the latest Pantone® color fan and choosing a color you like. We'll always be glad to help you with color decisions, of course.
2. Ambassador Tie Bars, Tie Tacks, Money Clips, Key Fobs -- The best plan is to use one of our TF-100 stock lapel flags so you can make as few or as many of such accessories as you wish. They are all very beautiful, fully 24K gold-plated, elegant, and durable. In addition to the red leather shown, you can choose black and navy-blue leather for your key fobs.
3. Ambassador Flag Watches -- The minimum order is 15 pieces and you'll have to count with a one-time silk-screening charge, unfortunately, except for popular items such as USA/Canada for which we pre-screen and stock the dials. They make a great gift, especially when you add the emotional charge of 2 or 3 flags with or without a logo. Because of their outstanding quality (the movement is made in Japan, the leather in Hong Kong while the assembly is done using our dials in the United States) we offer a 3-year warranty which you will be hard-pressed to get for watches costing many times more! We have sent many thousands out into the world for several years and not a single one was returned with a complaint. (I don't like complaints -- they spoil everyone's day and it irritates the customer who would rather enjoy a good product than have to complain about it. So it's easier to do the job right in the first place.
And so vexicyberfriends, here we are at the end of our virtual trip together. Though the trip was a trifle long, I sincerely hope it was interesting and worth your while. It certainly has been for me. Thank you for keeping me company -- I greatly appreciate it! And I do hope you have come away with a better feel for the beauty and extraordinary vitality and variety of flags -- as well as for their business and market potential. It is typical of us Americans to like to join the beautiful to the practical -- I hope you cyberlings in foreign lands will smile forgivingly at this our national handicap. And now, as we say in FlagTalk -- Abyssinia!
