The sunniest state in the country has its benefits. Colorado enjoys 300+ days of sunshine every year which allows ample opportunity to recreate and enjoy the outdoors in the comfort in the warmth of the sun.

 

We love being outside.

 

In the image, spirit and visibility business, one of our values is enabling our customers to be seen and represent company, state and country well. The sun is a wonderful thing and it also has a major impact on our colorful flags we fly across Denver Front Range and the western US.

 

While we are outside basking in the sun and producing Vitamin D, our sun is fading our flags. Our double-ply polyester American flag is of the highest quality in material and construction, but unfortunately it is not resistant to UV raise and the sun's extreme effects.

 

We, at Custom Flag Company have one excellent in house service team and two very helpful remedies to the sun's wear on our American, Colorado, and logo flags.

• We combat the sun's effect by cleaning and repairing your flags
• Hanging new flags

 

Our service team accommodates hundreds of customers' flags throughout the Front Range on a monthly basis, bi-monthly, quarterly and bi-annually. If you see American flags that are fading in your community today, be thankful we live in a bright and sunny place and then feel free to refer your friends and businesses to Custom Flag Co for a bright, new flag tomorrow.

 

We care about your Red, White and Blue and we care about your image, call us today and we will take care of the rest, tomorrow...and in many cases we will do on the same day.

Wow!

It seems like so much is compressed between December 15 and January 15 and this year was no exception. Between Christmas, one kid out of school, one kid home from college. New Years, a softball trip to Phoenix, year-end paperwork, year-beginning paperwork, reflection of 2011, goal setting for 2012, sales forecasting, marketing plan, purging old files and the list goes on and on

I hope your holiday, New Year and the beginning of 2012 were wonderful.

 

Please accept my apology for the small break.

December 7

Today is a somber date.

I think of it as my grandfather's generations September 11. It is the day the Pearl Harbor was attacked. So many men and women died that day. America changed by that secret attack. The United States got involved in World War II as a result of Pearl Harbor.

Today, fly your flag at half-staff. Remember those who died that day. Remember those who were injured that day. Remember our veterans who fought for us. And say a prayer that America will never be secretly attacked again.

This Iwo Jima Bronze statue looks nice and touches your heart at the same time.

It is heavy. It weighs almost four pounds. It stands tall at 7" without the flag and 15" tall with the flag. The base is 8.25" long by 3". It is finished in antique bronze and MADE IN THE USA.

This makes a very beautiful centerpiece or a wonderful gift for dad.

These are IN STOCK, call today.

We are a brick and mortar business. There are many flag companies that are not. We also have a huge warehouse and have acquired many flagpoles that have been used. We refurbish the flagpoles with new rope, ball, cleat, snap-hooks and snap hook covers.

The great thing about a used flagpole is the cost savings. You do not need to pay incoming freight. Also, they are in stock. You could come by and pick one up today. Yes, the flagpole shaft has been in the ground before but we provide ALL new parts. Some of our poles look new, some are a bit more weathered. We evaluate each pole independently and price them accordingly. Our stock constantly changes so if you are looking for something specific, let us know and we will watch for your specific flagpole to come in.

Since our used flagpoles are in stock, come by and check them out...they make a perfect gift!

Remember your shopping list:  FREE GIFT WRAPPING on Saturday, November 26, 2011!

Today I pause to count my blessings.

Freedom of this great country in which I live.

The soldiers who fought for this freedom.

And the opportunities it has given me.

The friendship and confidence you have shown in me.

For all these things I am truly thankful.

My sincere wish to you-HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Not only does it remind us to reflect on our many blessings but it a time for family.

Twenty three years ago my husband and I hosted our first Thanksgiving. We were married just over a year and we brought together our two families. We are lucky; our parents like each other and have many common interests. We began this tradition of bringing together our families in 1998 and have hosted each year since.

One tradition we have is to gather before we eat and share at least one thing we are thankful for. We call this “Thankful”. It has helped our family bond and share heartfelt stories that are sometime difficult to communicate.  Each year our gathering grows but we never fail to incorporate Thankful. Some years are tough and we have considered not having Thankful but we decided even in terrible adversity we should look deep and find one thing we are thankful for-even it is just one word.

What traditions do you have? What are you thankful for this thanksgiving?

When you think about Christmas shopping I am sure Custom Flag Company is not the first store to come to your mind. Actually, we have a very busy November and December as Christmas shopping is in full force.

If I had a nickel for every man that has commented “I really would like this as a gift”. I would be rich…or at least have $5.00.

Our service team ROCKS!

Just like this past weekend we got some crazy wind on October 6. You probably don’t specifically remember really windy days, but I do. On that day it was wild wind. Wind where trees were uprooted. Wind where light poles were downed on 16^th Street in Denver. Winds where highway signs were blown down.

A couple weeks before this crazy wind we had installed a brand new flagpole at Yuma Bank…yes, we install flagpoles in the eastern plains. During these crazy winds, the top half of the ball blew away. Our team rallied and was able to arrange a lift and replace the ball within 48 hours of the phone call.

Do your need a new flag or repair after the crazy wind? Call today, our service team ROCKS!

My son experienced his first Nebraska football game in Lincoln a few weekends ago. He went home from college with a friend and they landed some Cornhusker tickets.

He was in awe. He is a huge sports fan and was ready to wear his Black and Gold (CU) proudly while attending a small college in Nebraska. Well, the tide has turned. He is bleeding red in a few short months. You can’t help transitioning into a Nebraska fan when you are surrounded by some of the best fans on earth.

The game was great. So much energy! That is because the fans are great. In Nebraska, the Cornhusker football team are celebrities. Everyone knows the players by name!

Fans tailgate before the game with their Cornhusker flags proudly flying. Drive through any town in Nebraska on any given fall Saturday and BIG RED is flying on every corner.

Marketing yourself and your business has never been more important. All of us in business are wearing so many hats that promoting your business can see a bit overwhelming. Not only is your time slim but your marketing budget may be slim or non-existent. With that said, I've learned that marketing does not need to be scary or expensive.

Here are some simple, practical, hands-on marketing tools that work.

#1  Be yourself. Be honest. Be transparent. Build relationships. Whether you are writing a blog, Tweeting, or old fashioned face-to-face networking, be yourself. You will be remembered. You will be sought after for opinions.   We enjoy doing business with people we know, especially our friends.

#2 Discover what makes you unique. Why should your clients do business with you?  What can you offer your customers? What do you provide other than your actual product? Personally, I sell "Spirit, Image & Visibility".

# 3 Market to current and past clients. Invest in your current data base of clients. Email marketing works. Be an expert in your field and send relevant information to clients. Remember to ask for referrals. This simple task is often overlooked.

# 4 Look for strategic partners. Who is a non-competing business that shares your clients?  Can you partner up to host an event? Share a trade show booth? Share referrals? Surround yourself with people that inspire you and build you up.

#5 Consider a written marketing plan. This marketing plan could be as simple as answering a few questions such as: Who are you marketing to? What are you marketing? How do you market it? How much will it cost? When will this happen? Having this information written down will keep you focused and on task.
