So, it’s January 7 and Cafe Press still does not have their calendar stock, so we still can’t order the Pets of Balloon Juice calendars. Maybe the calendar stock will arrive tomorrow, or maybe it will arrive in a month, or worse.
Before anyone asks about another vendor instead of Cafe Press, Cafe Press is the ONLY company that allows the proceeds to go directly to the pet charity. Otherwise, we have to pay taxes on the sales.
This has implications for as people who wanted the calendars, and it has implications for Athenspets who will be the recipients of calendar proceeds.
So… we have options if we’re willing to be flexible!
We can wait patiently for the calendar stock.
We can wait impatiently for the calendar stock.
We could “sell” electronic versions of the calendar images (the 13 pages) for $10 – what we “make” from each calendar.
We could sell an electronic version of the special January page we made for $5 (a collection of wonderful pics of Lily, Rosie, Steve and Thurston)
We could potentially make notecards from the higher resolution calendar pics. I can’t be sure, but as far as I can tell, all the cards in a single box have to have the same photo.
We could potentially make notecards from the higher resolution “favorites” pics from a week or so ago.
Or one of you might have a fabulous idea that we haven’t considered.
Thoughts?
