I have a team reaching out to local bookstores and schools and I'm also going to try and sell the idea to bookstores at places like UK and UL (on top of local colleges and universities that I have good relationships with).
I already have nine or ten charities lined up that are going to cover the costs and get sponsorship spots for it.
We also have surveys out to gage the level of interest and we're speaking with schools and places to get the idea out.
I'm going to email more places once we get everything more organized.
Actually, just for shits and giggles, I decided to Google and find out if physical calendars are still popular. and this website says 78% of people use a printed calendar at home or at work!
78%!Do you realize how INCREDIBLE THIS IS?! You posted trying to bash me, like you always do, and just end up bashing yourself!
I hesitate to even enter this conversation, as I see it is something very important to you. But what I would point out, is that the 78% of people using printed calendars for work are most likely using the big "Daily Planner" calendars that lay on their desktop so they can write on them and see them first thing every day, or, they are using the "At-A-Glance" calendar/planner books (which is what I use). So if I was asked if I used a physical calendar at work my answer would be yes, but not in the way I think you are taking it. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that if you are hiring models, you are planning on doing an old fashioned Hang on the Wall calendar with a picture at the top and month showing below it like people used to hang in their kitchens. I used to see these all the times in bookstores at Christmas, but I see them less and less these days. It's outdated. I wish you well in your endeavor, but think you would do better looking towards something new rather than something outdated. Just my opinion, I often wrong. Good luck with your fundraiser.
