2012 NEW PRODUCTS BUYING GUIDE Light Up Mohawk Headwear
“WE SPECIALIZE in LED light up consum- er novelty items,” says Daniel Odulo, found- er of Flashing Panda, a wholesaler
that
promises on the com- pany website to provide, ‘Stuff That Lights Up!’ “Our line con- sists of three main departments: lighting items such as key chains, fl ashlights and bulbs; party favors and light up toys; and fl ashing wearables, such as hats, jewelry, etc. The headwear collection is some of our most popular mer- chandise. Retailers can review the entire line on our website,” explains Odulo. The company
website features an ex- tensive array of light up products, and a retail section for customers looking to purchase
a single item. Retailers, however, can access a separate wholesale section,
offering bulk and case lots at wholesale prices. Flashing Panda’s headwear
collection offers a new, fun and fl ashing identity for customers looking to change up their style. Among the products offered are a cowboy hat, top hat, an as- sortment of bunny ears, and the increasingly popular Mohawk. “The Mohawk is designed to be
worn like a wig. It reminds me of the crest of feathers on a parrot’s head,” mentions Odulo. Offered in bright colors, the Mohawk stands out among a crowd, but once the battery pack is turned on, the multicolor fl ashing lights within the hair strands make even more of a statement. Retail- ers can carry an assortment of hats, spending no more than $5 wholesale apiece. “The average wholesale cost of merchandise in this line is $2 to $5. Retail- ers can expect to sell each hat anywhere from $4 to $15 retail,” notes Odulo. There is no minimum order
