Flamingo Paperie Launches Humorous Guest Card Range

May 30, 2020 Sarah Gifford Product Features No comments

Humorous Card Manufacturer ‘Emotional Rescue’ has teamed up with Flamingo Paperie this month to bring a bit of fun back into our lives. Emotional Rescue has been the UK’s number one humour card brand for over 30 years. If you’re talking laughs, then you have to be talking Emotional Rescue! They are the UK’s leading humour publisher with a vast array of commercial, punchy and extremely funny greeting cards.

Many of you will be missing these fun designs that are normally readily available in the high street. With Father’s Day around the corner we thought we’d lend a hand and bring their range of funny cards direct to your door.

We have three categories to choose from on our website :

Father’s Day

We have a range of 30 humorous Emotional Rescue Father’s Day cards, all available to view in this Father’s Day supplement. As you will be aware, the coronavirus has lead to much longer deliver times. I would therefore recommend that, if you are planning to include a Father’s Day card in your order, then you should place your order before the 5th June .

Here’s a couple of my favourites:

Our children frequently giggle at my husband’s faux pas when it comes to all things internet and mobile phone related.

As a cat lover I had to show you this one too. My husband frequently complains about the damage to the house and furniture caused by our daughter and our Ginger Tom Rolo. Another grumble too is the fact that they both ignore him (unless he’s preparing food of course)!

Humorous Everyday Cards

We will be offering a range of Emotional Rescue Birthday Cards and Humorous Everyday Cards as well until the end of June. Here’s just a couple of my favourites to tempt you.

My husband and I frequently have words in the car on long journeys because he doesn’t trust the Sat Nav!

And who has left over wine? Once a bottle is open in our house it’s pretty much gone I’m afraid!

We’ve produced a supplement of our range of Emotional Rescue Everyday Cards for you to flick through.

Half-hearted apologies for some of the humour being a little bit cheeky; nothing that you wouldn’t find in a Great British pantomime! We realise it’s not our normal vibe but hopefully this will be its appeal. When it comes to Father’s Day cards, Emotional Rescue refreshes the parts other Flamingo Paperie designs fail to reach! It’s fun and it’s experimental for us. We hope it gives you a giggle too! We certainly all need it don’t we!

Please note that these cards are not part of the 10-or-more at £1.60 each price deal. They are all priced individually and are available to purchase along with the rest of our Flamingo Paperie range on my e-commerce website.

Earn more money from home during the pandemic

Flexible way to earn more money

The coronavirus crisis has resulted in financial difficulties for many and the need for an additional income stream. If you’re looking for a flexible way to earn more money to top up your family income then please read on.

Closure of the high street and the massive increase in online shopping has actually benefited the Flamingo Paperie business operation because we are one of only a handful of companies selling British designed greeting cards online. Instead of selling through shops we sell our products through a network of distributors either online via our personal websites and social media accounts or with the use of catalogues, stock baskets and events (when allowed).

Free website for all new joiners

Every new joiner receives a full e-commerce website with a personalised web address from Day 1. Full training and support will be given if required. You earn 20% commission on all website sales. Non website sales will generate a profit of between 30% and 44%.

Additional ways to earn more money

An additional 5%-15% retail bonus is available if you achieve certain sales levels. You can also earn more money by recruiting. You can earn an additional 5% sponsor bonus if you build a team and introduce new distributors to the business. These additional income levels will reward you for the extra work that you put in. This means that the more active you are, the more you earn.

Excellent value for customers

Our greeting cards offer fabulous value too. You would have to spend between £3 and £5 for a similar quality card in the high street. By comparison our cards are retailed at £2 each or £1.60 each if our customers buy 10 or more (which they frequently do). Follow this link to see a few of our current best sellers. Delivery is free for all online customer orders of more than £30.

More than 95% of our products are designed and printed in the UK using UK-sourced environmentally accredited materials. We have put a “recycle” message on the back of all of our cards because it reminds our consumers to put them in the recycle bin. We work with all of our suppliers to ensure that the material we purchase comes from independently certified and well-managed forests. This is because these suppliers reject illegal and/or destructive logging and are regulated by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). We also favour the exclusive use of vegetable-based inks.

Three great value starter packs

When you join us you can choose from three great value starter packs:-

Pack 3 at £200 – Our best value pack includes £367 of fabulous Flamingo Paperie products. It also contains £60 of business sales aids and brochures (pictured below).

Pack 2 at £95 – A good option to test the water, this pack includes £144 of Flamingo Paperie products, £32 of business sales aids and brochures.

Pack 1 at £45 – This pack includes just £54 of fabulous Flamingo Paperie products plus £14 of business sales aids and brochures.

Special promotion for new joiners

I am currently running a special promotion. If you join my team with a Pack 3 before the end of August I will send you a Paper Craft Kit of your choice. Families in isolation love our selection of paper craft kits because they offer hours of entertainment for all ages.

If you love paper stationery and sending cards then you’ll love being a Flamingo Paperie Partner. You will be able to purchase a constant stream of exclusive new designs at cost price for your own use.

Earn more money for your favourite charity

Some partners choose to be a Flamingo Paperie partner because they want to fundraise for a favourite charity rather than earn more money for themselves. Please message me If you’d like more information about this side of the business.

Top 10 Best Selling Flamingo Paperie Birthday Cards

April 17, 2020 Sarah Gifford Product Features No comments

Birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions still need to be celebrated and acknowledged even though we are all in lockdown. The closure of high street retailers means that people are looking online to purchase their greeting cards and giftwrap. Flamingo Paperie is the UK’s leading direct selling paper stationery company. To help you with your selection, here is a list of our Top 10 best selling birthday cards based on February 2020 sales data:

1. In the Number One Slot is our trendy ‘Stars (Happy Birthday)’ design by popular Flamingo Paperie artist Kate Mawdsley (Code : FP6128). Customers regularly tell me at events how difficult it is to buy cards for men and boys. This 6″x 6″ generic birthday card design is a must have staple and is suitable for males of all ages.

2. Another generic 6″x 6″ design. ‘A Big Happy Birthday’ card by artist Lorraine Duff is a great staple for your card draw (Code : FP6145) as its multi-colours make it suitable for all genders and ages.

3. Amazingly there is just one alcohol related card in the Top 10. Artist Michael C L Cheung’s new 5″ x 5″ ‘Cheers!’ design is proving to be extremely popular (Code: FP5105). Its muted blue brown colour combination is very attractive.

4.Our best selling Christmas Sheep appear in a party mood in this fun birthday design called Happy Baaaa-Day by artist Tim Mason (Code : FP6133) . Have you noticed that all of our top 4 designs have stars on them? Interesting!

5.I love this cheeky and very trendy 6″ x 6″ ‘Not As Old’ design by artist Laura Stone (Code: FP6138). It has a lovely delicate shaker feel to it.

There’s a passion for pink

Interestingly the last five designs in our top 10 are all pink ….

6. We find that the Flamingo Paperie floral designs sell particularly well. There are now three whole pages of florals and landscapes in our catalogue for you to choose from. This 6″ x 6″ ‘Happy Birthday (Pink Floral)’ is artist Laura Stone’s second design in the Top 10 (Code: FP6140)

7. One of my favourites! This delicate ‘Rose Cupcake’ design (Code: FP5115) by artist Mikki Butterley reminds me of a Laura Ashley style bedroom wallpaper that I had when I was a child.

9. Interestingly, this is the only card in our Top 10 with a traditional 5″ x 7″ dimension. ‘Happy Birthday Balloons’ is a very pretty design by artist Claudine Rose (Code: FP7042). It has been foiled during the production process to make it even more luxurious.

10. This witty and very cute 5″ x 5″ Llama design called ‘Another Year Older?’ by artist Karen Tye Bentley (Code: FP5112), has not surprisingly trotted into our Best Seller list. The Directors loved this design so much that they used it as our 2020 brochure cover design. Its gold foil accents make it look even more special.

I hope you found my little round up interesting. Just a reminder that, whilst some of our cards have captions on the outside, they are all blank on the inside leaving space for your own personalised messages.

Designed in the UK

100% of all our greeting cards are designed and printed in the UK. This gives our range a quirky “Britishness” that the large American card manufacturers, who supply our high street, are unable to replicate.

Flamingo Paperie and the Environment

We are continuously working to improve our environmental credentials. Best practice is applied to all issues that affect the environment. For instance we work with our suppliers to ensure that our raw materials only come from independently certified and well-managed forests which reject illegal and/or destructive logging. We favour the exclusive use of vegetable-based inks ensuring that all products are printed using low, or no, alcohol printing techniques. This is because it eliminates the Volatile Organic Compound emissions that are harmful to health and contribute to global warming and the destruction of the ozone layer. We also encourage recycling by the consumer by having a ‘recycle’ message on the back of our cards

Need more birthday cards but short of time?

If you’re short of time and would like one of each of these Top 10 designs to restock your card draw then simply email me the words “Top 10 please” with your name and address to SARAH.L.GIFFFORD@GMAIL.COM. I will then process your order and will email you a payment link. Simples!!

Would you like to sell these amazing cards yourself?

The coronavirus lockdown has increased the demand for an online supply of greeting cards. I received a record number of orders through my website last month. As a direct selling greeting card company our success is determined by the number of distributors that we have within our sales network. Are you looking for a new challenge or an additional source of income for yourself? Would you like to do some fundraising for a favourite charity?
