MFA/Avanti Get “Wacky” On Series of Alarm Clocks

Mark Feldstein & Associates, inc. (MFA), a Product Development Company and Importer of innovative giftware and housewares, and Avanti Press, publisher of Avanti, the Global HumorBrand™ and A*Press greeting card collection, announced today that MFA will launch a line of Avanti-themed Wacky Waker Alarm Clocks.

The oversized alarm clock dials feature a series of “wacky” characters and verses from Avanti that will tickle your funny bone. To add to the fun, the clocks play the distinct ding-a-ling-a-ling alarm sound that is guaranteed to rouse the deepest sleepers from a slumber and even put a smile on their faces!

“Our line of well-known sound clocks not only tell time, they also tell a story”, said Mark Feldstein, President, Mark Feldstein & Associates, inc. “Our partnership with Avanti Press allows us to continue that storytelling theme, but with the unique upbeat and offbeat style that Avanti brings to the marketplace with their humorous designs and sayings.”

“MFA is a fantastic match for Avanti,” said Rick Ruffner, Avanti president. “The Avanti brand is all about having fun, and Wacky Waker Alarm Clocks are certainly destined to kick-start many a day with a grin.”

In addition, the nostalgic shape and large, easy-to-read dials give these unique alarm clocks universal appeal. Manufactured Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $14.95 each.

The Avanti Wacky Waker Alarm Clocks are the latest in a long tradition of innovative and unique products from MFA, including the well-known Original Singing Bird Clock, and other themed-sound clocks licensed by a variety of companies including Audubon™, Ford Motor Company, PEANUTS™, Thomas Kinkade™ , Wild Wings and many others.
