"When you care enough to give the very best..."

Hallmark has an unmatched standard of quality dating back decades... so much so that their slogan has become part of the American lexicon. Hallmark IS the symbol of quality. That's why we're thrilled that Hallmark has stocked Flipoutz products in select markets, testing the Interactive Funwear in a bid to be to be taken nationwide. We're proud to be in a number of Independent Hallmark Gold Crown Stores like Cynthia's Hallmark in Greenfield Indiana, but to be successful in corporate stores like Amy's Hallmark in Marietta, GA, or Matthews Hallmark in Washington, PA would really open doors, not only for Flipoutz Coins & Bracelets, but for the tracking and trading feature that Flipoutz products offer. To be included in the national inventory of Hallmark means the sky's the limit. So next time your out shopping, stop by your local Hallmark store and ask for Flipoutz. If they don't have them, ask if they can get them in stock. If enough customers show that they care, you can count on Hallmark to stock the very best.

The View from Above

The campaign for getting Flipoutz in stores nationwide officially kicked off Friday, April 3rd. when the Johnson family, creators of Flipoutz, appeared on ABC's Sharktank and pitched their idea of tradeable & trackable coins and colorful coin bracelets to the Sharks, and won their backing & support.

Since then it's been a rocket ride! In less than 4 months, stores across the country have begun stocking the "Interactive Funwear". We've taken to post their locations on our Google Map that supplies address & phone# where available, making for an easy way for anyone to visualize locations & directions. plus, the number of new subscribers to our child-friendly interactive website is growing by leaps & bounds. More & more are collecting the coins, trading them & tracking them online at flipoutz.com.

Along with our efforts to win over retailers, we've also had stores call us to order, simply because their customers keeps asking them to stock Flipoutz. Word of mouth is the best form of marketing, so now the word is out and mouths are talking...and word is "Stock some FLIPOUTZ!" It's easy to get the ball rolling, any retailer can call us at 843-448-8880 to talk to a Flipoutz Rep. they'll be happy to answer questions, or better yet, place orders.

While the view high above looks great, there's plenty of room for more stores & more places to stock flipoutz.

Store Customers are asking for Flipoutz!

There's a point when a trickle of pebbles become an avalanche, and when a light sprinkle becomes a torrent of rain. For Flipoutz, that moment is rapidly approaching. A grassroots effort is underway by people collecting & trading Flipoutz coins, of going to local stores and asking them to stock Flipoutz. The stores are responding, asking about the product, with more inquiries coming in each day.

The feedback from new stores is customers are calling, emailing, and walking in asking for Flipoutz. They're seeing the demand, and responding by placing orders. It's also obvious that Flipoutz is gaining a following as stores already stocking Flipoutz are quickly selling out of stock and are ordering more. This groundswell has not gone unnoticed as bigger chain stores like Hallmark & Toys R Us have begun limited testing of the product, the results of which may really become the tipping point.

It's easy to become a Flipoutz Retailer, an application form is available online, and a Flipoutz representative is available to answer questions and take store orders. The easiest way to get the ball rolling is to simply call 843-448-8880.

In Three Short Months...

The Johnson Family appeared on ABC's Sharktank & presented Flipoutz to the world just 3 months ago. Since then, the Interactive Funwear Coin & Bracelets have started appearing across the country as more & more have found the fun in trading the colorful coins with others on the interactive website.

The Flipoutz facebook page & twitter account has got a daily buzz going as more & more friends & followers are joining the ranks. Most importantly, Toy stores across the country have started stocking Flipoutz as "Flipoutz Fever" is catching on. Customers are asking their local toy stores about getting Flipoutz and the stores are responding. The Google Map is becoming dotted with Flipoutz Buttons. The map is growing each day.
