Even Superheroes Need a Day Off…

The PicFlips team is in full swing this prom and wedding season…And don’t forget the company picnics, tradeshows, marketing tours, and birthday parties!  Whew!  To ensure that the office team doesn’t get burnt out, Shawn and Amy decided to take the team on a surprise mini-getaway…enjoy!

When Experience Matters…

PicFlips is based out of the DFW area in Texas.  We’re the ones who started the flipbook craze at events and have the patent to prove it!  We’ve been doing events in the Dallas Fort Worth area for 5 years now and have become quite the fixture at parties and events in the metroplex…from heart-warming non-profit galas and action-packed bar/bat mitzvahs to dreamy weddings and memory-filled proms.  We have the best job ever because we go to parties for a living!  The PicFlips team is so privileged to be included in our client’s most precious milestones and events, and we take pride in the job we do!

We have a professional graphic designer who tailors the custom covers to match each event, which are then beautifully printed on glossy paper by a local print shop.  Our event teams are thoroughly trained and held to a high standard.  Even our props are specifically chosen to go along with the theme and colors of the party!

We hope our passion comes through in our work.  We do more than take photos.  PicFlips captures memories and wraps it up in a sweet little pocket-sized book.  No batteries required, the flipbooks fit easily in a pocket or purse, and they can be flipped through anytime you need a good laugh or when you want to re-live that memory.

If you’ve got an  upcoming party, gala or soiree, send us an email or give us a ring!  We’d love to add that special touch to your event!  Our mobile flipbook studio will create a buzz at the event and give your guests a sweet reminder of the fun they had.

Celebrating 2010 at PicFlips!

To celebrate the new decade, we’ve decided to narrow down the Top 10 reasons why we love what we do…*ahem*….

10.) We’ve met a whole new group of friends in the event industry. Talk about a fun group of people to hang out with! Their parties ROCK!!

9.) What started out as a fun idea in our friend’s creative mind blossomed into a concept seen all over the world.

8.) At PicFlips, we include custom designed and professionally printed flipbook covers at no extra cost. Personally, I (Amy) have always been the creative, free-spirit, so it thrills me to no end to capture the atmosphere and color palette of the event on a flipbook cover. PicFlips flipbook covers can be customized to fit any party or event – the perfect keepsake for partygoers to take home!

7.) We get paid to go to parties and create memories for the guests…that’s my definition of a dream job!

6.) People of all ages love the flipbooks! Children, teens, college kids, adults, grandparents…it’s a product that spans the generations.

5.) The flip book party favor is so universal that it fits in with almost any party – we’ve done birthday parties for a 1 year old to a 70 year old; a baby shower for triplets and a debutante ball for 5; a tour with Bloomingdale’s across the northeast and the launch of Guitar Hero; parties with budgets of a couple thousand dollars to $100,000+; non-profit galas to help fight hunger, cancer, abuse, childhood disease; celebrations of so many kinds!

4.) Ahhh, the nostalgia of flip books…but with the twist of technology. It’s a beautiful thing.

3.) We’ve learned concepts while running this business that they DON’T teach you in college. Some things you just have to experience yourself. If there was a Doctorate in making flipbooks, we would be the professors. It’s a joy to teach other companies around the world what we have learned through years of trial and error.

2.) The PicFlips patent-pending process is so QUICK! Less than 90 seconds per book from start-to-finish right there at the party – made while the guests watch. They love it!

1.) Even after almost 4 years of making flipbooks at events, we never tire of watching guests experience the flipbooks for the first time. You should see their faces light up when they flip through their books for the first time with their photos inside. It’s the same innocent wonder as a kid opening a Christmas present….yeah, it’s that good.

Here’s to another great year in 2010!
The PicFlips team :)
