If they're not tasteful, I won't put my name to them!


Problem with commercial marketing, is that we would need a printer to be able to maaass produce these items on such a great scale... Unless we can get in with someone major like Tru-print or something... ?


EDIT: D'oh! Jake beat me to the printing thing!

[Jake Blues]

We just used a local printer...I would put a copy on here but there are children present!!!

You'd be looking for a publisher to take on the whole job ideally. I certainly saw at least one Mini calendar on the shelves for this year so it's a possibility.

Jake - I think I may have to pick your brains about some things. Beware.

Other stuffs to considerificate:


* contacts at Mini clubs - email, announcements at meetings and so on
* promote to all friends, family & colleagues
* use work intranet systems to advertise calendar
* write a press release and send it to local press.
* speak to PR peeps
* Use of Facebook/Myspace/Twitter etc
* How much will we charge for a calendar?
* How many are we printing/hoping to sell?
* Who are you selling them to?
* How/when will you be selling them?
* How will you be sending the donations to Everyman & Breakthrough?

What about sponsorship from a mini firm or mag to help with the costs??

Thanks Rocket.

could always do something like a small spotted flyer that could be whacked on cars at shows and in car parks, but advertising the calender? Everyone else seems to be doing it at shows!

I dont know whether its helpful, but have you thought of contacting a company like photobox, who do online printing, to see if they would be able to something like this, and hopefully at a discount for a bulk buy. I can vouch for their quality as I have used them numerous times.

We used Jonspeed's unit as a backdrop (offered by them for free on a Sunday morning) and got the services (again free) of a pro photographer (very grown-up!).

Not Jonsey then

my daughter has never quite gotten over me using her cone air filter...

I would like to put my name down as another girly/reserve or something if you'll have me....
This is quite meaningful to me at the moment, I'll definately be buying a few copies anyway!
