Below are the details:<\/em><br \/>\n<em>5 white lights<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Steel base<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Size : 2\u201d top to bottom<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Attachment: butterfly clutch or open to suggestions<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Qty: 500<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Deadline: May 31st for event on June 5th<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Please let me know if you need additional information.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I love it when our customers know what they want and have all their ducks in a row.<\/p>\n<h3>The Time is Short<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-734 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Fingerprint-Lights.jpg\" alt=\"Fingerprint-Lights\" width=\"400\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Fingerprint-Lights.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Fingerprint-Lights-267x300.jpg 267w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>However, custom flashing blinky lights pins take time to manufacture. Our turn time is 3-5 weeks and we've even produced and delivered in about 18 days.<\/p>\n<p>We knew this project would be close, but Jennifer was able to get started right away, so we were able to guarantee on time delivery.<\/p>\n<h3>Make it a Double<\/h3>\n<p>In my exchange with Jennifer we established the price for 500 pcs at $1.89 each, and while she seemed to be pleased, she decided to get an even better price and ended up ordering 1000 for $1.59 each using this LED design.<\/p>\n<h3>A Very Attractive Pin<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-740 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/MagnetBack2-300x2251-1-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"MagnetBack2-300x225[1]\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/>In this case, Jennifer opted for a magnet fastener for her blinky lights. It is a good option for those that want a pin that won't damage their guests fine outfits at fancy galas. Often time, the guests are apprehensive to use a pin that will pierce their tuxedos or dresses. The pin includes 2 magnets. The first is permanently attached to the pin and the second one can be used to attach to a lapel pin, attracting to the first.<\/p>\n<h3>Ahead of Schedule<\/h3>\n<p>When all was said and done we were able to deliver their pins 2 weeks ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Once received, Jennifer was like:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Magic Matt!\u00a0 You are amazing!\u00a0 The pins arrive today.\u00a0 I LOVE THEM!\u00a0 I thought I would send you a video to show you what it actually looks like \u2013 in case you don\u2019t know. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n<\/em><em>Thank you so much all your help in getting these to us on time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>You are the best!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And here's the video she sent us:<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ViviTouch Artificial Muscle Fingerprint Blinkee\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/doXRh8SJ9mY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_743\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-743\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-743\" src=\"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/PCB-Proof.jpg\" alt=\"Vivitouch Artificial Muscle Fingerprint Custom Flashing Blinky Light Pin\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/PCB-Proof.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/PCB-Proof-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-743\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vivitouch Artificial Muscle Fingerprint Custom Flashing Blinky Light Pin Uncut Printed Circuit Board<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial Muscle Vivitouch &#8220;Fingerprint&#8221; Custom Flashing Blinky Light Pins<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":739,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Artificial Muscle Vivitouch \"Fingerprint\" Custom Flashing Blinky Light Pins","description":"How Custom Flashing Blinky Lights can change your life for the better.","facebook_image":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Fingerprint-Lights.jpg","twitter_image":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Fingerprint-Lights.jpg"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-custom-flashing-blinky-light-pins","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=731"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":747,"href":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731\/revisions\/747"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blinkee.com\/blinkeeblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
