Heartland

does anyone know a good firm who can print bulk (well, 100 ish) for a reasonable price? photo wall calendars.
cheers.

I would guesss that Vistaprint might be a good start?

aye, i looked, is not so bad.
i know i can sell, it's the upfront cost that's going to be a problem.

not naked teachers is it? i'm sure that wouldn't be appropriate.

NO.

Nekkid students, then..?

Staffroom selfies?


I would imagine that sticking to standard paper sizes etc. & not going too "custom" would keep costs down

Whoops ...did not know that...

Although I'd like to hope that the tone was interpreted as firmly tongue-in-cheek, no Saviles over here (although...oh shizz, now my trips to SEAsia are being interpreted in a whole different light! )

That's OK then.

So if I ignore the content suggestions above; what exactly is the content Jo? Who knows, you may be able to generate some sales here on HL.

johnny, you know perfectly well what's in it and that I won't get any sales on here!

basically, it is my Darkness fanzine's 10th birthday this year and i wanted to do a calendar. run a competition for fans' best live photos to go in it. profits to charity, etc.
this is def not absolutely certain, but...

Did you ever consider that some of us might love you, we'd buy one, and immediately ask you to resell it? All profits going to charity?

You are a bit dim sometimes.

yes, sometimes! but then it's not definite yet so hadn't even thought about it!
it's going to cost £600 at least, depending on factors, which is a lot up front even if i do get rid of them all. a bit of a leap of faith!
50% profits would go to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, other half to whatever TD want. They like the Teenage Cancer Trust, I know.

Both admiral charities, and I do believe the band over in Fat Bob-land are supporters of the Teenage Cancer Trust. Remember the missing tambourine?

At the end of the day £600 is a lot to shell-out, but with the right marketing and assistance, you could be on to a (charitable) winner.

i need to find out if it's a goer, first. my top amount is 300 atm.
these would be collector's things really, fan base stuff. i can reach a goodly number of those.

If you have a mock up & a url, I can get them tweeted around a bit to drum up even more interest

i suppose i better kick some arse

I agree with Johnny Rev's earlier comment

There are probably quite a few people on this site who'd be quite happy to pay good money to not have to get a Darkness Calendar

I really shouldn't be laughing at this. I really shouldn't be laughing at this. I really shouldn't... ahem

It's all about support for Jo. If she's prepared to gamble, she may be pleasantly surprised what other black-ops come into play.

i laughed

sorry if my earlier flippant comment was a prelude to anyone being dismissive of this threads intent. when you've got a massive brain having a gob that outdoes it can be a curse..

i laughed at that as well!

glad to hear it -you know i love you jo.
