PicFlips – the mobile flipbook studio

If you check out the Dallas Kids Expo 2010, you’ll be amazed at all of the fun activities they have planned for moms, dads and kids of all ages.  We’re talkin’ tea parties, ‘green’ baby changing stations, talks on how to save money with coupons and so much more.

But I’ll let you in early on a surprise that Gattitown North Dallas has put together…  *are you ready?*  …PicFlips Custom Flipbooks has been sponsored by Gattitown North Dallas to give out a FREE personalized flip book of your cutie-patootie!  Get the whole family in a flip book to send to Grandma and Grandpa, or have your child hold up the I Love You sign and stash it away until May 9th…viola!  A personalized Mother’s Day card!  Every time she flips through that book, she’ll see her child’s photos on the pages and melt with love.  Did I mention it was FREE??

Make your way to Booth 316 and318…this is a hot offer, so don’t miss it!  It only takes a minute-and-a-half to create the flipbook from start to finish, so while you are in the display, check out all of the FUN activities for the whole family at Gattitown North Dallas.  They have games and prizes and a pizza and salad buffet!  YUM!  It’s a  great place for the kids to burn some energy off and for parents to relax or join in the fun.  Did you know that Gattitown gives away FREE gameplay for good grades?  Wow, what a fun treat for those hours spent memorizing spelling words!

The tickets are $7 at the door, but I found a coupon for $2 off from My DFW Mommy!  (She’s the one doing the coupon session – Laura’s AMAZING at saving money!)

Tell your friends!  We’ll see you there!!

The PicFlips mobile flipbook studio is a fun way to entertain your guests at an event with a quick, custom-made party favor.  We average 45-50 flipbooks per hour, which is great for most weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, sorority parties and milestone birthdays.  But what do you do if you have a large crowd and need more books per hour?

Before we offer our solutions, think about the overall goal of your party and what you want to accomplish:

1.)  What is the size of your venue?  Do you want your guests to mix, mingle and move around the large area, or do you have a limited area to work with?

2.)  What time frame will you have for the flipbooks?  Is there a specific schedule of events (example: cocktail hour, dinner, and an auction for a non-profit fundraiser) or is it a relaxed schedule (example: socialize, eat & drink, mix & mingle at a 25th Anniversary Party)?

3.)  How many guests are you expecting?

4.)  Will this be an event with the majority of guests as families or couples, or do you expect to have a lot of guests from different households? (What an odd question, right?  The reason we ask this is that most of the time, couples just ask for one book, while friends all want their own book to take home.)

Now that you have a clear goal, let’s talk about options:

Option #1: We run 8 mobile flipbook studios here in the Dallas area.  If you need multiple studios for your large party, we can usually accommodate.  Multiply the number of studios by our hourly rate and *viola!* you have your price. (Call or email for pricing – sorry, we don’t list this online.)  Each studio takes up a 10′x10′ area.

Option #2: Our regular “standard” studio produces 45-50 flipbooks per hour on average.  However, we also have “deluxe” studios available, which include an extra staff and additional equipment to produce 90-100 flipbooks per hour.  This option is less expensive that 2 “standard” studios because we have to bring less equipment and hire less staff, so we pass the savings on to you.  It also remains inside the original 10′x10′ area.

If you want to discuss your specific event, I would be happy to talk through ideas and suggestions with you.  Give me a ring at (214) 497-2411 or send me an email at amy@iloveflipbooks.com.

Happy Planning!
