Everything About Calendar's ?

[Yogurt]

I am thinking of starting a Calendar company and makeing a few diffrent kinds.

I am looking at the do's and do not's of making calenders.

Who to use for printing...

When to start selling next years calenders.....

What are the legal issues of selling topless calenders....

Also any other advice on the buisness of calenders.

find your market and sales outlets before doing anything else. This is very much more than a simple photography assignment...

Don't expect to be able to price match the calendars you get in wal-mart or in the malls, their print runs are so high they get such quantity pricing (or do their own printing), wheras you'll probably be looking at $2 - $4 just to get the thing printed, never mind markup, your costs, model costs, design costs etc. etc.

The worst thing about calendars is that they're dated. Hopefully you can sell them all before they're of no use as calendars. Some people do buy calendars for the pictures regardless of the dates though.
