Making your own calendars

[huncan]

Does anyone know where to get calendars make cheap? I want to have some made but looking at visa print and a few others, they aren't so cheap. I want to get some ready for next month to sell with my horses on to help raise cash for the horses. Any help at all would be great.

Designing them is the easy bit.
I used Microsoft Office Publisher and it worked fine (have done it twice now)

Then I found a local printers and asked them to quote.
Actually they did me a cracking deal but it was because I was giving the calendars to a charity that they were also involved in. And I had 75 printed, Unit price comes down with volume.

I have just received a card from Vistaprint for a wall calendar at 99p and this includes photo uploads (came with my lovefilm dvd).

Be very careful with Vistaprint.
They tend to add thing (like websites with monthly repeating charges on) even if you tick the 'no thank you' box as it regenerates to 'yes' if you go back or revise anything.

It took me months to get it cancelled and two charge backs on my credit card.

You are much better building relationships with a local printer imo.

If we can help with calendar printing and production feel free to email. I would say though that by the end of November / early December in previous years we have been fully booked. [email protected]

Thanks everyone for replying. I have looked at vistaprint and it is 99p plus postage and it is for one only. To get the amount I want, it would work out at just over £6 for each one! Then I want to sell them to raise the cash for the horses. People won't pay that much for a calendar, then I have to add postage. It is a shame. I had the thought last night to look up some local printers and will try this on Monday. My printer is playing up and know I have to get a new one soon. That would of been a good way to make my own! Still might do that if I can't get a good deal with a printer.

Just trying to find ways to raise cash and the problem is that not many have cash to share at this time of year. Trying to do this as cheap as possible is proving to be hard. But, where there's a will there's a way

Thanks again all x

I ended up paying £4.00 each, but these give even cheaper options.
