[SteveColes]

Status Update:

As of 11:47 AM 9/6/2008, we Have pre-sold 60 calendars. We need at least 40 more during the pre-sale period to have any opportunity to lower our production costs.

So if you planning to buy a calendar, please do it now.

Ok, the entries are in and you can see this will be another great calendar, maybe our best. Please order your calendars in advance like now. The more calendars we have sold before we select the actual vendor is better. I posted some of the economics in another thread

So far costs per calendar way too high. The only ways that I have found so far:

Cafepress: I have to order in quanties > 15 to get a discount. I have buy to buy and ship at full price to see proofs.

Many others: min order 100 -250 pretty good cost per and proofs are sent overnight for free.

I'm still looking, but the real decider will be the number of pre-sales that are made before I have to order. At that point, I'll make a final decision.

But just for comparison purposes. CafePress will charge 10.58/cal including shipping to me. add $2.50 to that for me to mail that out,and the gain to ncwwi 16.50 -13.08 =3.42. The prizes will total $1400. 1400/3.42 ~= 409 calendars to break even. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Now on the other hand, if we could could get 250 pre-sales, then we could the price down to $8.00. cal including shipping. Then we get 10.50 cost to ship. 16.50 - 10.50 = $4 net. So $1400 /4 =350 to break even. BUT. 250x4 = 1000 so we lose $400. A it more acceptable for this kind of event :smile:

Anyway those are just two scenarios. There are a bunch more. But it all comes down to this. The more we pre-sell, the better it will be. The first milestone is 100 pre-sales with 250 the ideal. So far we have 22 orders, all through cc or paypal, which of course charges fees, so we don't actually get 16.50. the charge for a single calendar done that way is $.78.

And yes checks are welcome

Just click on "2009 NCWWI Calendar" on the menu. It will tell what to do.

Please we really need at least 100 pre-sales

I ordered even though I never get a picture in the calendar. It will be nice to see my friends work in there.

I don't have any friends, I ordered a calendar just to keep track of the lumber runs.
