    Hi Guys,

    I have been asked by one of my clients this morning if I can get him some flag poles with the flags.

    He gave me details of the company he has used in the past as seen below;

    http://www.flagpoleexpress.co.uk/flagpo … gory_id=72

    Obviously I cant use them as his seen the prices already.

    Any one know where I can get three of the above wall mounted poles with the flag measuring 137cm x 60cm…..or where I can get flag material and print these on our roland XC 540….

    Look forward to your answers

    cant recommend one for this product as i do not offer them myself, so haven’t had any experience purchasing them. but…
    most of the usual suspects offer them to the trade… i.e..
    bannerbox, trounce, hampshire etc all listed on the UKSB toolbar.

    My personal opinion of what to do when good, existing clients give you an online source for a product that is fairly priced is to let them order it themselves OR order it from them and haggle to get a ‘trade discount’ and make next to nothing on it.

    As honestly, by the time you’ve sourced all of the component parts & printed yourself and finished it for a one-off job…you’ll be the same cost – but have wasted endless hours.

    ps. I’ve used Hampshire flag before – normally very good stuff.

    phone the supplier see if they offer trade discount, i was asked to supply 500 poster cases for a builder who had a council contract. He came in with a print out off the Internet contacted the supplier & got 20% trade discount gave the builder 5% which pleased him & had the rest myself which considering the bill was paid up front was a nice extra. Obviously you won’t get much on three poles but then you probably won’t get them much cheaper from another supplier.
