Why We Built This Different

Here's what we figured out after working with over 3,000 resellers, franchises, churches, and event planners: the traditional wholesale model is broken. You shouldn't need to order 100 identical flags just to unlock a decent price. And honestly, this approach just makes more sense.

So we flipped it. Buy one flag or buy a thousand—you're getting wholesale rates either way. Want to test five different designs before committing to a big order? Go for it. Need 30 flags but each location wants its own custom message? Done. Your total order quantity determines your discount tier, period.

Wholesale Pricing Tiers (Feather Flag with H6ft Pole Kits)

All prices include your custom-printed flag, the full pole kit, and your choice of ground spike or cross base. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Real talk? About 70% of our wholesale customers start with the 10-24 tier to test the waters, then jump to 50+ once they see the ROI. Smart move.

How We Stack Up Against Other Wholesale Sources

We're not gonna name names, but here's how our pricing compares to three major wholesale suppliers we researched -  Feather Flag with Pole (H6ft) kits, apples-to-apples):

Size Matters—But Not the Way Most People Think

We've seen too many flags become kites—and it's never pretty. Here's what actually works based on where you're putting them:

8-10ft flags: Indoor events, small storefronts, anywhere with foot traffic under 50 feet away. These won't overwhelm tight spaces.

12-13ft flags (most popular): Standard outdoor use. Roadside visibility up to 150 feet. This is the sweet spot for 80% of our wholesale customers.

15-16ft flags: Highway locations, massive parking lots, anywhere you need visibility from 200+ feet. Just don't try this on concrete without a seriously weighted base (we've had people ask).

Single-Sided vs. Double-Sided: What You're Actually Paying For

Single-sided flags show your design on one side with about 70-80% bleed-through on the back (it's reversed and slightly faded). Double-sided flags have two separate prints sewn together with a light-blocking liner in between.

Go single-sided if: Your flag faces one direction (against a building, along a one-way road). Saves you $15-20 per flag, which adds up fast on bulk orders.

Go double-sided if: Your flag sits in the middle of a parking lot, at an intersection, or anywhere people approach from multiple angles. Worth the extra cost for 360-degree visibility.

Real-world split? About 70% of our wholesale orders are single-sided. Most businesses put flags along their storefront or property line where one side does the job.

Hardware That Won't Let You Down

The pole kit matters more than you'd think. Cheap poles bend, snap, or worse—send your flag flying across the parking lot at 3am (yes, we've gotten those calls).

Our kits use fiberglass poles with aluminum joints—flexible enough to handle wind gusts up to 30mph, rigid enough to keep your flag standing tall. Each kit includes your choice of base:

Ground spike: For grass, dirt, or sand. Push it 8-10 inches deep and you're done. Holds up to 25mph winds in soft ground.

Cross base: For concrete, asphalt, or indoor use. Add 30-40 lbs of weight (sandbags, water weights) and it'll handle 20-25mph gusts. This is what 90% of retail and event customers choose.

Drive-over base (add-on): For parking lots with vehicle traffic. Flat profile, heavy-duty construction. We recommend this for gas stations, car dealerships, anywhere cars might get close.

Case Studies – How Businesses Actually Use Wholesale Feather Flags

Let's get specific. Here's what happened when six different types of businesses ordered bulk flags from us:

Church Network (35 Locations)

+26% First-Time Visitors

What they ordered: 70 flags total (2 per location), mix of "Welcome," "Sunday Service 10am," and custom campus-specific designs.

The result: After 8 months, their network reported a 26% increase in first-time visitor sign-ins. The flags made campuses easier to find and created a more welcoming vibe from the street.

Their tip: "We rotate designs seasonally—Easter, back-to-school, Christmas. Keeps things fresh without breaking the budget."

Real Estate Team (12 Agents)

+23% Open House Attendance

What they ordered: 48 flags (4 per agent), each with agent photo, name, and "Open House" messaging.

The result: Open house foot traffic jumped 23% in the first quarter. Agents reported more walk-ins from people who "saw the flags and got curious."

Their tip: "We store them in our office and agents grab what they need for each showing. The carrying bags make transport super easy."

Annual Festival Organizer

18% Better Wayfinding

What they ordered: 60 flags for their 3-day outdoor festival—sponsor logos, directional signs, stage markers.

The result: Post-event surveys showed an 18% improvement in attendees finding key locations (restrooms, food vendors, stages) compared to the previous year.

Their tip: "We use the same flags year after year. They've held up through rain, wind, and sun for three seasons now."

Retail Franchise (22 Stores)

$8,400 Saved vs. Local Vendors

What they ordered: 88 flags (4 per store) with corporate branding and seasonal sale messaging.

The result: By ordering centrally instead of letting each store source locally, they saved $8,400 total and ensured brand consistency across all locations.

Their tip: "We keep designs on file and reorder twice a year. Turnaround is 2-3 days since the artwork's already approved."

Gym & Fitness Center Chain

+31% New Membership Inquiries

What they ordered: 40 flags across 10 locations—"Free Trial," "New Members Welcome," "Get Fit" messaging in high-energy colors.

The result: New membership inquiries increased 31% within 12 weeks. The gym manager said, "People told us they drove by for months but never noticed us until we put up the flags."

Their tip: "We swap out messages quarterly. January gets 'New Year, New You,' summer gets 'Beach Body Ready.' Keeps it relevant."

Restaurant Grand Opening

+42% Opening Week Traffic

What they ordered: 12 flags for their grand opening week—"Now Open," "Grand Opening," "Fresh Food Daily," plus their logo.

The result: Opening week traffic exceeded projections by 42%. The owner said, "The flags created buzz. People posted photos on social media, which drove even more walk-ins."

Their tip: "After the opening, we kept 4 flags up permanently. The rest we rotate for special events and seasonal menus."

Design Tips That Actually Matter

We've printed over 50,000 custom flags. Here's what works (and what doesn't):

Keep text BIG. If your message can't be read from 50 feet away, it's too small. We recommend minimum 4-inch tall letters for primary text.

High contrast wins. Dark text on light backgrounds (or vice versa). Avoid red text on blue backgrounds—looks muddy from a distance.

Less is more. Your flag has about 3 seconds to communicate. One main message, one logo, done. Don't cram your entire menu on there.

File specs we need: Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) preferred. High-res PNG or JPG works too (minimum 150 DPI at full size). CMYK color mode if you've got it, but we'll convert RGB files for you.

Free design help: Orders of 10+ flags get free design service. Send us your logo and message, we'll create a proof within 24 hours.

How Bulk Orders Actually Work (Step-by-Step)

We've streamlined this to be painfully simple:

Step 1: Tell us your total quantity and sizes. This locks in your pricing tier.

Step 2: Upload your designs (or request design help for 10+ orders). Mix and match as many different designs as you want—your total quantity still determines the discount.

Step 3: We send proofs within 24 hours. You approve (or request changes—no charge for revisions).

Step 4: Production takes 3-5 business days. Rush 1-2 day production available for $25-50 per flag depending on quantity.

Step 5: We ship everything together (or split shipments to multiple locations if needed). Free shipping on orders $500+.

For orders over 50 units, we can do Pantone color matching to ensure perfect brand consistency across your entire order. Just add 1-2 days to production time.

Reordering Is Even Easier

We keep your approved designs on file for 12 months. Need more of the same flags? Just tell us the quantity—we'll have them in production same day. No new proofs needed unless you want to make changes.

Franchise and reseller customers love this. Order 50 flags in January, reorder 30 more in June—same designs, same pricing tier (based on total quantity), zero hassle.
