We&#8217;ve been providing high quality, American made products to our clients and customers for a quarter of a century &#8211; and we&#8217;ve come a long way since our humble beginnings!<\/p>\n<p>As part of our anniversary celebration, we took a few minutes to chat with our founder, Mike Cronin, to talk about where we came from, what makes us who we are, and where we&#8217;re headed in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>25th Anniversary Interview with Mike Cronin<\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell us about the beginnings of Gettysburg Flag Works. How did you get started? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like a lot of folks, I heard through the grapevine that layoffs were coming. President Clinton was elected in 1992 and severely cut defense spending. I had started selling flags in 1993. When I was eventually laid off from a local defense contractor in 1996, I decided not to continue in materials\/metallurgical engineering. I had acquired 15 repeat customers by 1996 and was encouraged by Unemployment Office to consider selling flags full time. So I did. \u00a0<\/span><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What inspired you to start Gettysburg Flag Works? \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An acquaintance of my wife overheard that I might get laid off, he sold flags on a very small scale locally, and asked if I would consider selling for him. It took a little persuasion, but eventually I gave in as the layoff began. So I applied for a DBA\u00a0in 1993.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How did you come up with the name \u2018Gettysburg Flag Works\u2019? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My wife\u2019s acquaintance was a history major in college. He came to my house with a list of battles on American soil. We got to the \u201cg\u2019s\u201d and stopped at Gettysburg. Pennsylvania work ethic, Abraham Lincoln, the significance of the battle of Gettysburg, Emancipation Proclamation. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bell rung in my head.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When did the business really take off?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I began with\u00a0the DBA in 1993, and was laid off in December of 1996. The decision not to continue in engineering was made, and starting on Dec 10, 1996 I worked 365 days straight 10-12 hrs per day. Being an entrepreneur was very enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are some of your favorite projects that your team has tackled?<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 100 foot flagpole at Trustco Bank headquarters in Scotia.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flameproofing 30&#215;60\u2019 flags for the WWE<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unusual flagpoles like the 3 pole in Washington, DC<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettysburgflag.com\/military-floor-stand-base\">Custom wood floor bases<\/a>, like the 40 we delivered to the UN in NYC<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things that take thought and creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have a favorite Gettysburg Flag Works product or type of product? If so, what is it and why? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My favorite would be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettysburgflag.com\/military-floor-stand-base\">custom wood floor bases<\/a>. They are beautiful and we enjoin local artisans to manufacture our designs. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are some of the best things you\u2019ve learned through selling American flags?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People love the flag. People of all races, creeds, ages, backgrounds, etc. It\u2019s amazing to learn who really holds the flag sacred and stands with pride in her shadow. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is your favorite memory of selling American flags? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of memories, sad and happy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sad ones are when a deceased veteran\u2019s spouse or children come in for a case to enshrine the flag from the funeral service. \u00a0I always tear up and share a little in their grief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The happy ones are associated with installing flagpoles to raise a flag in a new location, hoisting the colors high.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have any favorite stories about the business you\u2019d be willing to share?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I often tell this true story. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After my wife\u2019s acquaintance finally convinced me to help him sell flags and I established Gettysburg Flag Works on May 26, 1993, nothing happened for a week. I was still going to my \u201cday job\u201d as a metallurgical engineer. I had opened and closed a business with my brother, John, lost some money, and so my wife Anne was less than encouraging to start another business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So on the first Monday in June of 1993 we laid in bed and prayed that if God wanted me to sell flags, then I would sell one flag that day, and if I didn\u2019t, I would stop. That day I went into work and had to take a fractured turbine wheel to a local lab for inspection. The lab manager, Tom, and I were discussing the loss of business, government cutbacks, etc. and I told him that my wife\u2019s acquaintance had roped me into selling flags. Tom inquired about the flags.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I had one catalog in the trunk of the car, and he insisted on seeing the catalog and ended up ordering two flags, one for his mother, the other for his mother-in-law.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I called Anne to tell her the news. She was not pleased. So I said that Tom bought the flags, I didn\u2019t exactly sell them. On my way home, I decided to stop at a neighbor, Joe, who had a flagpole with very worn flags and told him I had stated selling flags. I asked him if he would like to \u201cupdate\u201d the worn flag on his flagpole. I sold Joe two flags, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettysburgflag.com\/american-flags\">US flag<\/a>\u00a0and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettysburgflag.com\/military-flags\/armed-forces\/army-flags\">Army flag<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That was the answer to our morning prayer and the rest is history. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In your opinion, what sets Gettysburg Flag Works apart from other flag companies? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve heard it before, great customer service sets companies apart from their competitors. We strive for that each and every day, from taking the order to final delivery and in handling any customer\/product issues openly and fairly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does it mean to you to be celebrating 25 years at Gettysburg Flag Works?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I never dreamt of being this successful. I still don\u2019t quite understand it. But it is heartwarming to know that the business is alive and continuing to grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25 years is an impressive milestone. What\u2019s the secret to your ongoing success?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must continue to grow to be successful, even at a slow pace, but grow you must in a retail market. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selecting the right mix of products and focusing on the right customer base for those products is essential. Hiring the right people, with the right fit in the team environment, and getting out of their way, letting them do the job you hired them for. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are you doing to celebrate 25 years in business? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resting, traveling, playing with the grandchildren, sailing, golf, and enjoying the fruits of my labors. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is your favorite memory from the past 25 years at Gettysburg Flag Works?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I love installing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettysburgflag.com\/flagpoles\">new in ground flagpoles<\/a> on peoples&#8217; lawns. So often they come out and watch with anticipation. The flagpoles are often erected to honor a close relative (son or daughter) who has enlisted or graduated from ROTC or military academy. A lot of veterans raise the flag out of pride for our country. It always brings a smile when the first flag is raised on a new pole. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are your hopes for Gettysburg Flag Works in the next 25 years?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continued growth, increasing customer base, perhaps some innovative products. Happy customers, vendors, and especially employees. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is there anything else you\u2019d like to share with us about the past 25 years at Gettysburg Flag Works?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s not forget what makes Gettysburg Flag Works great: the employees and managers, and what they do on a day to day basis keeps it working smoothly.
