What Flyin' Squirrel is...
What Flyin' Squirrel is...
A novelty derby on-line retailer - First and foremost, this is
what the business plan for the company is designed to do - sell
derby-related retail items on-line. Shirts are the beginning.
There will be other types of merchandise in the near future.
A business which respects league merchandise sales -
As my Front Row Fan sales page says, "If you don't have a
league or team shirt from your favorite league, buy one first,
then come back to Flyin' Squirrel." Unless invited, I will not sell
at league bouts from my own booth. However, merchandise will
be sold at events, such as tournaments, where a large number
of leagues and event sponsors will have merchandise tables.
A company dedicated to promoting the sport and raising
money to help its causes - whether it's league or event
sponsorship, in-kind donations as well as money will flow back
into derby and derby charities based on Flyin' Squirrel's
performance.
A resource for leagues looking to enhance their
merchandise selection - Flyin' Squirrel will wholesale
merchandise based on specific conditions. We will create a
scenario where the league's financial benefit will be significant
enough to be attractive. In some cases, designs can be
inexpensively modified to include a league's name. If interested in
the details, contact bob@flyinsquirrel.com.
What Flyin' Squirrel is not...
What Flyin' Squirrel is not...
A company which designs or produces skater uniforms -
This is just not a skill I have and, trust me, not something you want
me to do! I will neither design nor customize (name/number)
uniforms, as it just is too far outise of my niche.
A company which designs league merchandise or will
operate the on-line sales of a league's merchandise - At least
not for now. There are plenty of local and derby businesses that
can help you design your selection. Once designed, the inventory
replenishment and on-line sales models can be difficult. At this
time, I have neither the space nor resources to help you in these
ventures. I will never say "never," but seems unlikely anytime soon.
A potential resource for producing league merchandise -
If the designs are created, you know the type of shirts you want,
and the quantity is significant enough (over 150 shirts), I will
consider managing the process. My resources are very
reasonable and, in many cases, I suspect I can produce your
merchandise for less money that what you might currently be
spending. I have the ability to order blank shirts, arrange for the
printing, and ship you the merchandise.
A place for customizing non-Flyin' Squirrel merchandise - If
you have a single shirt, or a few shirts, not part of a Flyin' Squirrel
order and want to add graphics or names and numbers, other local
and derby businesses can accommodate these requests. If you
have a design ready or are looking for a clever one-liner to go on
shirts, have at least 20 or 30 shirts that are needed, then there's a
chance Flyin' Squirrel can help you out.
Truthfully, the damn squirrel doesn't do much but eat, sleep,
and sh*t. Great logo, worthless production assistant. However,
Bob works hard and can tell you the company is:
As much as Flyin' Squirrel is able to do, there are also related
services which are not efficient for the company to pursue, with
their also being others who specialize in what you want.
A pain in the ass! - Life is too short to spend it buggin' people
who have things to do. Especially when I have better things to
do. If you send an e-mail, I will gladly respond. I will likely have a
newsletter in the future, which you will only get it if you've
requested to be on that list. No spam or mailing campaigns.
