Customer service is our number one consideration at A-BnC Parties and More, Inc. We love to talk to prospective customers and friends rather than merely offering an e-commerce shopping cart site. That way we can talk about the total picture and fill needs, thereby turning dreams into actual reality. Here is a recent example.

While I was away for a few days with our daughter, Ely, Michael took a call from some very nice people in California. The Lodi Rotary was planning a football theme event and Sharon was interested in either using our football quarterback custom foam cut out, just a football cutout or a football helmet cut out and wanted to explore her options. She was going to order and paint them herself.

Michael talked with both Sharon and Pat. He learned they were in a time crunch and needed delivery to California in eight days. This meant a fast turnaround since everything we make is custom cut and normal UPS shipping from Illinois to California is four days. They were also concerned about painting the cut outs as well as how the cut out would stand up on the table and whether they could make a table sign, etc.

Michael assured them we could make their delivery schedule with a complete custom football centerpiece package with figures painted to their color coding. The centerpiece assembly would merely require a low temperature glue gun and a few minutes of their time to complete. He prepared a short proposal with a couple of options.

Pictured are two of the final products (not shown final assembled). We cut football shaped bases which is a new design option, painted the tops brown and ribboned each base. Each football foam theme cut out was painted a separate color. Both feet had a wooden pic glue into the bottom so two quick dabs of low temperature glue were all that were required to secured them to the base.

A pennant and ribboned dowel completed the look. Some additional gluing was all that was required to put the pennant on the dowel and another squirt to attach it to the football base. The centerpieces were shipped on time and received with 24 hours to spare, according to our anticipated delivery schedule. We had emailed these photos to Pat when we shipped and he was delighted when he saw them. A-BnC Parties and More can perform equally to your task once you give us an opportunity to be of service.

Please remember, if you can draw the figure on paper and send us an electronic version, most likely we can make a custom foam cut out to match!
