Where has the time gone?

Well, it is safe to say we have been busy! We have been developing new machinery, growing our distributorship platform, and developing an amazing amount of new customer relationships as well. With all this growth I am happy to say our team has been doing some growing of it’s own. If you call our office you will more than likely speak with Jane first. She has came on board as of lately along with a couple of people on our production floor to help handle the sales that have been coming in. With that being said I would like to add we are continuing to grow and develop new product ideas so please stay in touch with us to see what comes next!

Getting ready for trade shows!

Wow!  This year is looking big for FlagShooter as we get ready for all the trade shows.

IMUA in Illinois, The Missouri Common Ground Alliance are just two – remember to look for our black, orange and white color scheme and of course, you can use the FlagShooter yourself!  See you there!

OH!  One more thing – we usually give a FlagShooter away – make sure you register (if you see the entry box) at our booth.

 

About Time For An Update…

Last time we talked, Flagshooters were just about ready to start shipping.   Since that time, its been all hands on deck here just to keep up with demand.  We now have Flagshooters out in the field from North Dakota all the way down to Texas, and the response has been fantastic.  Our customers range from natural gas transmission companies to municipal utilities and for all of them, the Flagshooter is  making 95% of their locates faster, easier, and safer.  To those of you who have adopted the Flagshooter, we thank you.  To those of you have yet to discover just how much difference the right tool for the job can make, we would love to talk to you about the best flag insertion device on the market.   Drop us an email at info@flagshooter.com or give us a call at 605-529-5000.  We’ll try not to be so long between updates next time, but we will always keep our customers our number one priority.

Coming Soon…

See you in April.

 

Getting Closer…

What were empty shelves just a few short weeks ago are filling up quickly.  Parts have begun arriving from all around the country, none from outside our borders mind you.  Our product is proudly made 100% in the USA.  It seems that every day a truck from UPS, FedEX, Saia, or Con-Way makes its way down our drive with a new bunch of goodies, and when they do, Bob hustles to get everything organized and ready to go.  The assembly line is continuously one step closer to ready and the FlagShooter itself just keeps getting better and better.  We don’t expect the onslaught of packages to let up anytime soon.  More parts are due any minute now and deliveries of the first FlagShooters are still on schedule for this spring.  Those that have FlagShooters on order can look forward to the greatest advance in flagging technology since…well, since the Flag!

If you haven’t ordered your FlagShooter yet, give us a call or shoot us an email, we’d love to talk to you.  If you want to see one in action, check out Tradeshows & Demos area of our websiten.  We’ve got a few more demos in the works and we’ll make sure to get them up there as soon as they’re solidified.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

As the year end approaches, we look back and see just how far Flagshooter has come in the past 12 months.  We added new staff, ran field trials all through the summer months, went through over a dozen refinements of the design, attended trade shows, built new machines, met with vendors, met with customers, and finally, we started selling the all-new, one-of-a-kind, Flagshooter for deliveries in April of 2011.  The things we learned and the progress we made in 2010 is truly staggering.  Never ones to quit learning, we expect the coming year to be no different.

 

We would like to thank everyone for taking the time to talk to us and check out our new product.  We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

 

PS – If anyone is looking for a last minute gift idea, might we suggest a Flagshooter?

Trade Shows

We spent some time at the Iowa Telecommunications Association Annual Convention and Trade Show earlier this month and things went great.  We met a lot of great people, gave away a FlagShooter and some flags through a drawing, and were blown away by the response we got from the visitors to our booth.

Just because the Holiday season approaches, doesn’t mean we’re slowing down though.  We are excited to be heading to the Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association Technical and Operations Conference  in St. Cloud from November 30 through December 2.  If you’re going to be in the area, plan to stop by and visit us, we’d love the opportunity to show you how the FlagShooter works and how it can increase efficiency in your department.

Hopefully we’ll get some pictures from the show up soon.

Moving Ahead

Well, the website is finally up and running (and looking pretty cool we must say).  You can check it out to see a video of the FlagShooter in action, find out what trade shows we will be at in the coming months, or how to get ahold of us if you have any questions.

Official sales of the FlagShooter will also be starting in the next couple weeks.  We can’t wait to get back out on the road and see everyone.
