Producing a 2015 photo calendar?

Posted on May 24, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Would any of my blog readers know how to produce and distribute a picture calendar? I’d like to use my RKBA images for that but don’t have the spare time to see the project to completion.

    I’ve never done that before so I’m not your man, but I would definitely want to buy one.

    There are a bunch of online printing companies, like cafepress, that will take 12-18 of your images and nail them to custom-printed calendars.

    Well, Shutterfly lets you build your own, but you would need a hour or two hour. Otherwise, my local printshop does them – you pick a style and drop off photos.

    Creating it would be easy, and I’d love to help. Producing it, not much more challenging.

    Marketing it, though, is beyond my skillset. I’d be happy to help any way I can in the creation, but you’ll need somebody else to make it sell.

    Oleg, Techres and I are doing most of the promotional printing for Appleseed. The printer we use is a friend and cool cat. His prices are great but he really builds his business on service and turn around. Not sure if it would work for you but I can send you contact info if needed.

    I have very good relationships with several printing outfits. Be happy to help if we can.

    You might want to contact Ian at forgottenweapons.com. He did a nice B&W calendar for 2014 that included birthdays for just about every gun designer of merit. Nice glossy stock and good reproductions of historical weapon photos.

    Oleg,

    My wife can make that happen. She could connect you to some people or do the entire design or anything in between.

    I could do that. I’d be interested to understand your thoughts on what you want, style-wise! and your goals (both financially and politically … I suspect you want to make a statement and spread it widely … Something that I’d be keen to participate in.
    I’m retired on disability, so I have time to devote, and again my motivation is high.
    I also follow your work and am in line with the message your work conveys.
    I carry 24/7 and have been active in gun rights politics (passage of enhanced castle doctrine here in PA)
    I also have experience as managing editor of a national magazine, so I have some sense of style.
    Finally I do not have hang ups in the politically correct direction.
    Please email me if you think it’s worth your time to have a chat with me and we can arrange a time.
