Hi, I'm very new to photography, I actually only got a camera in the Christmas sales 3 months back.
I have been getting some good responses and was think of trying to do a project and earn a few pennies.
Right then, for the background, I am a printer by trade. I work currently for one of NZ's biggest print organisations. We do everything from magazines, books, posters down to business cards for enormous world wide organisation and I have been working in the trade for about 20 years, so I am quite knowledgeable on that side...
Now my plan was to initially print up 4 or so different cards of a run of about 500, any less basically is just uneconomical for cost, any more is a pain getting rid off...
Next step was to try selling them to tourist shops and recoup the rewards. Part 2 of the plan is, now I have some hard copies, try market and sell customised ones to coffee shops, pubs etc. Basically, I photograph the premises, they pay for the cards with a mark up and do what they like with them. Sell them, give away with a coffee, who cares!
The end plan was to create a calendar with the revenue, but then I realised a calendar obviously has a shelf life, so just create a cheap tourist book and sell through tourist shops again.
Any comments or suggestion appreciated. Anything I am overlooking?
