Can’t afford TV? Hey, flip books are similar!

Flipbook_copy Flip books haven’t been a major part of anyone’s marketing efforts since, oh, probably the late 1800s. But with everyone cutting back their media budgets, custom flip-book maker Flippies sees an opportunity for the original motion pictures to make a comeback. “History has demonstrated that flip books are the ultimate recession-proof marketing tool,” Flippies president Jeffrey Kay says. “Right now, flip books are to marketers what meatloaf is to comfort food.” Though it has trouble with SAT-exam-type analogies, Flippies has built a solid business and boasts a client list (MTV, Subaru, L’Oréal, Puma, AT&T, etc.) any agency would be proud of. Its flip books, featuring “crystal clear clips of full motion video with a simple flip of a thumb,” work nicely as interactive brochures, event giveaways and trade-show handouts. Sure, they’ve been around a while (they were invented in 1882 by Henry Van Hovenbergh of Elizabeth, N.J.), but Kay points out that they’re “one of the earliest forms of interactive media on record.”
