Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2017 12:04 pm Post subject: 2018 C-Brat Calendar |
|
|
There were 54 calendars ordered last year so we are planning to do it again!
Start digging through your 2017 archives and scouring your photo absorbing devices for calendar worthy material. Send high resolution pictures to me (findmeoutside@hotmail.com) before November 30th and I will plan to publish the calendar by early December.
More details:
Above 1650x1275 and bigger is even better.
JPG, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, or Bitmap will all work.
Most accounts can send/receive 20-50mb of attachments per message currently but if you need to break your submissions into multiple messages, that is not a problem for me. I am a highly trained email slave.
If you want to limit each message to about 25MB combined, that would be generally safe on both sides.
Most contributors in the past sent 2-4 photos total.
I am planning to hit the 10 dollar mark again (or cheapest LuLu offers) with a 8 1/2x11 landscape page size. I will also add Canadian Holidays this year!
Please put "Calendar" somewhere in the subject line and include the following in your email for each pic:
-Photographers C-Brat username
-General location where the photo was taken
-Name of any C-Dory's in the picture (if it's not obvious)
Last year's version as an example:
http://www.lulu.com/shop/greg-lang/2017-c-brat-calendar/calendar/product-22989174.html
Go ahead and just respond to this post with any questions.

Greg, Thank you for taking this on again. I really enjoy seeing the C-Dory photos all year.
Thanks again. Guess I will see if I can find something this year.
Have a great day.

So, do we send the submissions using the PM feature, or is there another email address to send the images to? |

Thanks Harvey, and we are up to 30 units ordered as of this morning.
The LuLu site keeps reminding me that I am not making any revenue and I should raise the price to gather more revenue. Pushy Pushy
Next year, I may use another site called photoreflect to build and provide a calendar product. I talked with them about it this year, but they were not quite ready with their calendar tools at the time. Unless someone else would like to start producing this calendar
20% of the orders are from our friends to the north! But they scored over half of the photo locations.

Greg, I'm curious why considering the change from Lulu? It seems they are so easy to order from. Are they hard to do the set up, or (noting the "pushy pushy" comment? I do a couple of calendars each year and it is hard to beat the $10 mark by much for a short run product. Lulu's seems like a very worthwhile product.
