hey guys just looking for a bit of advice and some information, at my work we support E.A.C.H children's charity and to raise money for them we come up with lots of fundraising ideas, now we were looking to put on an event were i would take pictures of them, there kids or families and get them put on to cards for them and all profits would go to the charity, but i need a bit of help...


i am looking around for the best places to get these cards made, i know someone personally who can but we need to get the cheapest prices to be able to give the costumers the best price and make the profit to give to the charity so do you know anyone who does this?? anyone who would maybe be willing to do it at a discounted rate?? the best places to get things like this??

also would like your help on how much you would charge for this service?? how you think we could make this a success?? as this is the first event of this type i would have ever put on any information help advice would be greatly appreciated.

thank you in advance for reading and for any help you might have

If I wasn't 200 miles away with no driving license, I would offer to do your printing using my Canon Selphy 710. Buying the print packs (inks and paper) from 7dayshop makes them cost just a touch under 28p per print. It's a dyesub printer so the inks are dry on a ribbon (no mess - I pack it all up in my hold luggage and take it on holiday to print my own postcards.) and the paper comes in the pack with the inks. Not sure if they still make any of the little postcard printers - may be worth a look at the Canon UK.Europe website to see..

Hopefully, for charity, people would be happy to pay at least 50p for a postcard sized print, possibly more (or have a chugging tin beside the cashbox for people to make extra donations).

If the printers are still available, it may be worth approaching a local retailer and explaining exactly what you want and that it's all for charideee - you never know your luck, for a little plugging of the shop (probably just a sign on the stall), they may offer a significant discount on the consumables, if not the whole shebang (including the printer). I assume the event gets local press coverage - promise to thank the shop in print and they may feel even better disposed to help you as much as they can!

Good luck with the fund raising and I hope this post has been of some help.

Nod.
 
I've just sent you a PM about things but do you need to print on the night or would it be better to put them on a website for people to purchase such as the photobox galleries? Would give more scope for offering different products and possibly making more dosh?

Cheers

Nick
