Take Flight

We recently asked our fans what they wanted to see from us. To be exact, the post on our Facebook said:

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD NOW! We want the Take Flight page to be something you are enthusiastic about sharing with your friends. What can we do for you to make this a reality? More PK videos? More quotes? Discounts?! New clothing?! A huge sale?! Or something else? This is your chance to change what we do at Take Flight …and how we run our page so let us know by commenting on this post!

In addition to fans wanting us to continue posting videos and quotes, the number one response we received was to begin making Parkour tutorial videos. When we heard this idea we immediately loved it! As such, starting this week we will begin doing this and we hope to release a new video every week or two.

Throughout the months to come we plan to release Parkour tutorials via the Take Flight YouTube channel on all sorts of movements and techniques to help our followers learn Parkour and be safe in their progression. With this in mind, if there is a specific technique you’d like to learn let us know so we can make a tutorial on it. Post on our Facebook wall or send us an email and we’ll get back to you. We want these video to help you, so let us know what you want!

We recently reached 10,000 fans on our Facebook page and as promised we are celebrating with a 25% OFF sale! There are no buying restrictions quantity limits or other fine print to this weekend discount. To get 25% off all Take Flight clothing all you have to do is enter the 10,000 Fan Sale coupon code at checkout which is:

TFPK10,000

This 10,000 Fan – 25% off sale brings the price of tees such as the Vault Man Tee and Parkour Wings Tee down to only $16, and the Original Parkour Tee (now in 13 varieities) to only $11!

Big sales like this are just one of the ways we work to bring the world’s best Parkour clothing to Traceurs around the world. And as the Take Flight Facebook page grows we’ll continue to provide sales like this. Our philosophy is simple: the more fans we have, the more obligation we have, and the more we do. For example we’ve already promised to have a 50% off sale when we reach 100,000 fans (!).  Where we go beyond that is up to you, but the sky is the limit.

P.S. This sale applies to all products in the Take Flight store including those on discount and Parkour Gear such as Parkour Posters, Parkour DVDs, and Parkour Magazines too!

The 10,000 Facebook fan mark has been reached! We repeat, the 10,000 Facebook fan mark has been reached!

In less than a year 10,000 Traceurs from around the world have become fans of Take Flight on Facebook. We see this as a monumental achievement for Parkour globally and we couldn’t be happier to be bringing authentic Parkour wear to so many people around the world.

In return for your efforts, loyalty, excitement, and spreading the word about the page around Facebook we are having a huge sale as promised. The sale will be a no limits 25% OFF weekend event when everything in the TF store will be discounted by one quarter of its price. This will bring the price of Original Parkour Tees down to only $11, the price of Parkour Wings Tees and Vault Man Tees down to only $16, the Take Flight Gold Tee will be only $18.75, Original Parkour Pants will be only $24, and posters, DVDs, and other products down to similarly unbelievable and previously unseen prices!

We hope you take this time to celebrate with us and the momentum this time of milestone brings to worldwide Parkour. The details of the sale will be released right here on the Take Flight blog and also on our Facebook page so keep your ears open so you don’t miss out!

The Take Flight Facebook page continues to grow. We just crossed the 6,000 fan mark and we’re still growing daily as the word spread about Parkour, our clothing, and the content, discounts, and news we bring to our fans daily!

In accordance with our 500 Fan Rule we are celebrating this new milestone by releasing multiple one time use $10 coupons good for anything in our store including all Parkour clothing, shirts, pants, hoodies, all Parkour gear, posters, DVDs, and more. The discounts have no strings attached. All you have to do is use the code and you’ll get $10 OFF your purchase. Each coupon can only be used once so it’s a race to the shopping cart to get the discount. We’ll be posting these through our Facebook fan page in the coming days so stay tuned and make sure to be the first to snatch them up!

We just crossed the 5,000 fan mark on our Facebook fan page! We are super excited to have reached this milestone so quickly, and we are celebrating by giving out a 20% coupon good on anything in our store. Whether you are a follower of us on Facebook, a proud wearer of Take Flight clothing we hope you take advantage of this rare sale. There are no restrictions on products or quantities to receive the discount, and that includes already discounted merchandise such as the Take Flight Gift Cards, Parkour 91 Hoodies, and the District B13 DVD! The 20% discount even applies to our Original Parkour Tees; already priced at only $14.95 this discount drops the price to $11.95!

The 20% OFF discount for reaching 5,000 fans isn’t something we just decided to do today. It was something we committed to a long time ago when we first opened the Take Flight fan page and began using it to spread Parkour through Facebook. We have a couple more milestones in the future that we are committed to as well which are going to bring our fans huge discounts including a 25% OFF coupon when we reach 10,000 fans, and a one time use $10 OFF coupon intermingled every 500 new fans we get. Make sure to stay tuned into our page so you don’t miss out on any of these!

The third week of the 1,000 Interaction Challenge ended with 488 interactions. The total for this week was lower than either of the previous two weeks and not quite half way to the 1,000 interaction mark we need to give away free Parkour clothing. In order to help us reach the 1,000 mark this week we’ve included a few thoughts and ideas below and also a new rule to the game.

Suggestions

#1. Invite your friends to the Take Flight Facebook page. It takes about one minuet and is as simple as going to the “Suggest to Friends” link at the top left corner of the page and selecting everyone you know. The thinking behind this is simple: if on average only 25% of fans are responding then there needs to be more fans to win! The video, quotes, and information we post on our page are meant for everyone – Traceurs and non-Parkour people alike. If anything Traceurs appreciate them more, but all of our followers regardless of age, gender, location, or athletic pursuit enjoy them. With our commitment to Parkour and bringing our followers entertaining and insightful posts everyday there’s no reason to be bashful. Invite those friends and in the process you’ll not only give them something they want, you’ll have the chance to win free clothing at the same time.

#2. You can also start conversations about the post we make. If you have a question ask it. If you what to ask for other people’s perspective make it known. If you have something insightful to say, say it. All of these types of comments will naturally create more unique interactions on each post as well as repeat interaction which will bring us to the 1,000 interaction mark much quicker.

New 1,000 Interaction Rule

In order to be entered in the 1,000 Interaction Challenge give-a-way you have to have make at least one interaction during that week. In the past, simply being a follower of Take Flight on Facebook entitled you to entry in the contest. Although we may reinstate that rule in the future, for now we figure that those of you that are committed to the cause and consistently interacting with us should probably be given a better chance to win once we reach the 1,000 mark.

We’re rooting for you, we really are. Let’s make it happen this week by reaching the 1,000 interaction mark so we can give away some free Parkour gear.
