I'm hoping someone can help me.

I am considering doing a charity calander for Help The Heroes with some of the images of the Military Working Dogs that I have plus some I will take.

Problem is where to get them printed? Places like Fotobook etc are fine for a one off but I hope to sell at least a few more than that!

Is there anywhere you guys know of that allows me to design the calander using their software and then to either post a link so that people can order it direct off site while they pay money to charity (or me for passing on at a later date)?

Alternatively a printers that will print in small ish runs of say 50 - 100 at a time and still be cheap enough to be able to turn a profit?

Thanks,
Chris
 
I think Staples do them??? Pop in and have a chat...
But also most printers will do that kind of number.

Kev.
 
It all really depends on how many you want to run of an individual calander. If you want to get 20 done, then retailing them at 9.99 wouldnt leave much profit if any at all.
If you get 200 done then its a different story. But then do you risk the loss if you only sold 10? Hmmmmm.....choices choices
 
I produce a calendar to raise money for Samoyed Rescue on a small forum I'm a mod on,and over the last 4 years have built a nice relationship with our local Kall Kwik office. The most I have ever had printed was 47 but I had a free proof as well and for 14 pages of A4,spiral bound I paid less than £2.70each. Last year they even threw in an extra one that I hadn't asked for.

I don't know who your target market is but I only get printed the number I have had the money for.I add on the cost of p+p and a chunk for a donation of about a fiver.If you're open and upfront about what goes where people don't seem to mind how much they cost.

This company sells excellent quality envelopes for posting at a reasonable price and next day delivery.

If you keep it local you can at least see a proof before you commit your money...

Good luck!
 
I used a place in reading that I can't remember the name of, helpful I know. I'm sure I got the name of them from Matty when he had the TP calendars done. Give him a prod/bribe and see if he can remember.
