GFC 2012 Photo Calendar

[Donster]

we should only order as many as people are requesting, we could get stuck with a bunch of left overs

I agree. Or maybe order one or two extra at most and see if we can advertise them as club merchandise on our website and see if they sell?

Don't forget me... I want one...

Did the pics of the cars change much from the earlier posted ones?  I remember you said they were not finalized... almost missed this as the darn notify was not on  oops

Only real changes have been taking out parking lot stripes, removing tree limbs that seem to grow out of the roof, and other 'distractions.'

Oh, yes; and I re-colored yours pink with Hello Kitty! decals on it.

But, other than that....   ;- )

JK- yours looks good, as do the rest of them.

That said; guess what? I was thrust immediately back into 13-14 hour work days upon our return, and hope to finish everything this weekend so I can meet FieroFool at the Overhaulin' and get them to the printer.  So, if I DON'T show at WhoDeanie's it's because I will chain myself to the PC this weekend to finish!

Best,

So did the chain came in place or did you make it to Dean?

Not only did the chain stay in place, but Nancy came down VERY sick, and I was running to the CVS, etc.

Oh man that sucks. Hope she's feeling better and you have to make the chain tighter so there is no escape

Are we not going to advertise these on PFF , Yahoo Fiero group, or anywhere else? Seems to me if we don't advertise & sell quite a few of them (& make a few $$$ for the club) the whole process is futile.

Very few PFF people come to our site.  There are only maybe 3-6 PFF members that are registered with us, that aren't GFC members.  We can have more calendars printed if the word gets out about them.  We can just shift the months to begin on the month of their order, but right now we need to get to press with what we have.  I'd love it if we could spark that kind of interest in the club by people outside it.  So far, the only people who've ordered calendars are those who have cars in it.

Since we can get next-day turnaround on printing even single copies, so I see no need to front the money to 'stock up' on speculation.  We can practice JIT ("Just-in-time" delivery) and have them printed as they are ordered.  After all, it's these speculative marketing practices that brought Wall Street to its knees.  Here at the Georgia Fiero Club global headquarters, we practice fiscal conservatism.  ;- )

If you'll give me the paypal address for the club, I'll post in PFF & Yahoo & any other Fiero forums I can find & maybe we can get some pre-paid orders (if that's OK with the other club members).

Pat would need to set up a link in the Club Merchandise section.  Selling them outside the club would require that we raise the price to about $25.  By the time we pay for the calendar, plus sales tax, plus postage, we might break even at $20.  As it is, we're making less than $3 per calendar. 

[Tha Driver]

Oh well. Considering most calenders sell for around $10, I doubt many folks would pay $25 for one.

We would have to get orders in the dozens, if not the hundreds, to cut the price by 50% (to approx. $10).
