Where's the demand? Who you going to target? What market is interested in old indian pictures put on a calender? How are you going to sell this idea to the manufacturers?

YOU have to get off your butt and do your due diligence and find this stuff out if you want a manufacturer to do this for you.

It's not up to the manufacturer to make your vision and dream come true. But then again I've told you that before.

Hi Joe,

To save you time...you can #1) make your own calendars.

Here's how to Make Your Own Calendars:

1. Digitize the Art ie. Scan it to your computer
2. Go to cafepress.com and Make YOUR OWN Calendar
http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customiz...ear=true&no=75
3. Upload them to their system

...You could have a product in very short order.

But As already been stated. WHO are you targeting...and do they WANT these calendars? How do you know they want them?

IF your market has already been determined, then this is a great way to TEST an offer to them without contacting any manufacturer

Cheers and Good luck

Duane Adolph

Default SweatShop V.S. No Sweat Shop

Phil's t shirt idea is an interesting one although as Daisy Fuentes is finding
out t-shirt makin is not as good as t shirt thinkin.

What I mean is I would think you need to work on the catch phrase for the shirt who makes it doesn't really matter.

How costly is it to come up with ideas then throw them out there say on Ebay to see what comes back.

It seems best to stay topical and clever to really sell.

In the past during Clinton scandal I tinkered with this Clinton campaign slogan on a shirt:

"It's The Anatomy Stupid!"
Bill Clinton

During the dumping of Planet Pluto this shirt:
Motherhood. Apple Pie. Planet Pluto.


Grey's Anatomy TV Craze:
The Real Mr. McSteamy

During Miami Heat Championship Playoffs:
Mark "Da ll ASS" Cuban

Dirk NOWINITzki

You can try to model this t-shirt seller that's been making at least $500 dollars net a month from her t-shirt sells.


Like Phil says it's no sweat to get started. Sweat over the slogan not the shop that makes it.
