Flamingo flocking is fun and can generate significant funds for youth ministries and other groups. Having more variations can help make it fun and keep it interesting! A few fun variations to add to your flaming flocking efforts.
Offer Flamigngo Insurance - a small payment to "avoid" having the flock visit your yard
Decorate one special flamingo - you could even order an angel flamingo and hide it among the flock and offer a special prize to the yard who has the special flamingo
Offer Premium Flamingo Forwarding Services - for an additional fee, you get to choose the next yard to be flocked
Flock businesses with high auto and foot traffic for maximum exposure
Find homes for your flock - at the end of your fundraising efforts, give your highest donors a complementary pair of pink plastic flamingos
Sell t-shirts that say "I've been flocked!" we have them for sale in S, M, L, XL and they ship in 2 weeks
Set up a block using using Facebook, myspace, or flicker and post fun pictures of your flock
Send out a pre-flocking newsletter to area businesses asking them for a donation to sponsor a flock - post the business sign next to their sponsored flock
Some other tips Larger flocks work best: A flock generally consists of 20 flamingos (10 pair). We've found that a 20 bird flock grabs people's attention.
More Flocks = More Money: Flamingo flocking is more successful with multiple flocks. The more flocks you have, the more you'll earn. 10 flocks x $15 per day per flock can earn you $150 per day or $1000 per week!
Buy your flamingos: Buying your flamingos for your flocking efforts makes sense because you avoid issues such as mismatching flamingos, having to account for missing or lost flamingos which can take up more of your profits.
Here's a tip -- most other flamingo stores, including those on eBay purchase from us. So avoid any markup and buy directly from the source, www.plastic-flamingos.com.
