Some call them flashy blinkys.
Some say body lights. Our awesome blinkee website will light
up all your nights. You'll love to surf our website. Because
its so much fun. Each blinky animation has a funny rhyming pun.
You ask me "What's a blinky?" Its a light up pin you wear. You
can clip one on your earlobe or wear it in your hair. They run
on small cell batteries with magnets for a clasp. First time
most people see one, all they can do is gasp. They blink and
flash so bright and cool they're sure to knock you flat. So
come and get your flashing pin. Just visit 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.
