Yes, this Xmas is out. But I throw it out there now in the hope we might
remember for next year..
We also don't have the typical charity Christmas
shopping demographic - our
donor demographic wants everything available online and instantly and
probably doesn't start thinking about Christmas until December.
The brilliant thing about calendars is that it doesn't matter - we won't
be targeting our donor demographic. We will just be selling calendars; a
nice calendar will sell anywhere, and if it is for a charitable cause, all
the better!
I've sold calendars for a few of the businesses/NFP's I consult for and they
are a consistently solid fundraising route.
