    Calendar Printing

    I would like to to get about 25 calendars printed of my landscape photos, does anyone have any recommendations as to where I should get them printed?

    Thank you
    Kathy

    Kathy, I have never felt the desire to print a calendar, however I do believe that Bay Photo is a place that produces good work, so to that I am adding a link to their calendar page.

    I have just done some research because we are going to issue a 2017 Calendar for our Maltese Rescue California dog rescue group.

    Here is what I have found...

    Create photo calendars
    http://www.createphotocalendars.com/pricing.htm

    Staples
    https://design.staples.com/offers/ca...r:p11712267830

    Walmart
    http://www.walmart.com/search/?query...=&wl8=&veh=sem

    Costco
    http://www.costcophotocenter.com/Shop/Calendars#/

    Staples
    https://design.staples.com/offers/ca...r:p11712267830

    Vista print
    http://www.vistaprint.com/photo-cale...es_1_pc27_cta0

    I have had calendars done by createphotocalendars.com and they looked really great. Our organization liked this option since that company would sell the calendars for us and give us a share of profits. We did not have the fuss and bother of selling and mailing the calendars...

    I also used Staples which were least expensive. Their work is fine but the calendars are slightly on the bland side. However, you can buy them individually and will never be stuck with unsold calendars...

    We are trying to decide if we want 8.5 x 11 inch or 11 x 14 inch calendars...

    How do you plan to market the calendars, through a website, facebook, etc?

    Mostly through FB, I have a photography page called "Nature's Blessings Photography by Kathy Ortmeier". I do not have a website.

    If one of the websites listed offers marketing or sales collections I'd go with that as it would save you some steps in the distribution/collection process. For instance, Blurb does printing (mostly books, magazines, porfolios) and they'll also sell through their website, you can link their website through FB or you can sell directly through Amazon. I didn't see calendars listed on their website but I'm sure you can format your images using their layouts.

    Thank you so much for your information I just really want to do something to help my brother without asking people to just donate their money (I feel better when they get something in return). Thank you once again.
