How to make money selling blinky's by Magic Matt
In our current economy everyone needs a few extra dollars. Blinky sales is a great way for one to supplement his or her income or for fundraising projects. Here are a few ways I sell blinkies in San Francisco: Stand on busy streetcorner in a theatre, restaurant, hotel and/or shopping district with a 20 unit display hanging around my neck and blinkies on my hat, ears and even my bottom lip. Go to a sporting event such as the San Francisco Giants Games (Barry Bonds rules althought it looks like he might get busted for steroids) or Golden State Warriors games. Last summer (summer of 2002 when the Giants went to the world series) I went to games and wore lots of blinkies on my ears and on my baseball cap and walked around Pac Bell Park during night games. People would stop me and say "hey, where did you get those?" Then I'd sell them some. This year I went to the games, but instead I went to the parking lot after about the fifth inning and waited for the people to come out. This is called the "blow." I would stand near the parking lot with a display and people would buy tons of blinkies and I would sell three to five hundred dollars worth every time. I currently have display boards in about eight locations around San Francisco. I have one in a stationary store, an ice cream store, a pharmacy, and even in a UPS store. I do the blinkies on consignment. I sell the blinkies to the store for 2-3 dollars each and they sell them in their store for 5-7 dollars each. Some of my stores have several displays each. My girlfriend and I bring blinkies to parties and sell them there. People really like this. Of course we always gift the host of the party with some blinkies. We love wearing them anyway, and when we wear them to a party and don't bring any to sell people are always dissapointed with us. So now we bring lots and we even bring a display sometimes. Bars and clubs are a great place to go with blinkies. If you wear some in there someone is always bound to ask about them and of course drunk people tend to be loose with cash. Finally, I sell them here and there when I am doing my everyday errands. I wear some to the bank, the post office, the grocery store, and I just slide a few of whatever style I'm wearing in my pocket, and I usually make a few sales here and there. I also give them away to clerks, doormen, taxi drivers, waitresses, bartenders, and just about any service people that help me in a store. This gets me special treatment and discounts all the time. For example when I went on a recent trip to Vegas, I was wearing blinkies during my travels. I had on a bunny blinky, a jet bomber necklace and a mood ring. I didn't even give any away to the flight attendants and they still gave me free headphones for the in-flight movie just because they liked my blinkies. When I went to the car rental place I gave the rental guy a red-green blinky and to return the favor he upgraded me from a compact to a full size car. |

When making your purchase it is important to remember not all body lights are created equally. When pricing flashing jewelry, make sure you are not comparing apples to oranges. Don't get stuck with inferior products. Some lights have such short threads that you won't be able to turn them off without the cap popping off and the batteries falling out. Others have defects where the threads are too tight to turn on and the batteries are so small they run out in no time. Magic Matt's Brilliant Blinky's only carries the highest quality products. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Flashing led jewelry is great for wedding lights, neon party lights, and it makes great rave equipment. With a flashing pin you can have a light flashing on every part of your body. Magic Matt's is the place for wholesale light up body jewelry. For those that don't know what body lights are here is an explaination: Each flashing pin uses 2 cr927 lithium cell batteries to power the light emitting diodes it contains on a circuit board. The batteries go inside the battery compartment on the back of the led jewelry. The battery compartment also acts as the switch to turn the flashing led on or off. The battery compartment is made up of one piece that is soldered to the curcuit board and a second peice that threads onto the first. To start the light flashing one would tighten the threads of the battery compartment, and of course to turn it off the threads are loosened. Inside the battery compartment there is a magnet. There is a second magnet that attracts to the one inside the battery compartment. The second one can be removed and placed behind the earlobe or collar for example and when the neon party light is applied to the other side of the earlobe or collar, then the magents attract and the light is fastened to the object. Think of it as a magnet sandwich with the earlobe as the meat and the magnets as the bread. |
