Djembe Calendars

[James]

Hi Guys, the design for the calendar is finished.

We are soon going to decide how many to print.

If you have an intention of buying more than 1 it'd help me to judge the demand a bit better if you could let me know how many you would buy.

You can do that here, or by email james at djembefola dot com.

In fact if you would only buy 1 you could let me know for encouragement

The calendar 12 really great, large photos (30cm x 30cm).

The price will be between 13 and 15 euros (this may vary slightly).

30% of any profit from this calendar goes towards 'Les Voies du monde' Foundation, for the building the building of an arts center in Burkina Faso. See Les Voies du Monde for more information.

Bulk discounts start at 20 units. I can let you know more details via email if you're interested.

If you live far away and you are interested in being a distributer, please let me know too...

I've uploaded a 5 page sample here.

Thanks
James

Like it on Facebook, forward it on .... oh yea, and buy 1 (or 2 )

I just ordered mine!

A little over $20 US including shipping. Sweet.

[EvanP]

Me, too!

[mattski]

Looks great!
I'll be ordering a couple...

Do you know, yet, when you're likely to be shipping?
(I'm at different addresses over xmas/new year, so it'd be great to have some idea...)

Cheers,
Matt.

Wow, I would like to buy ten at once, for the whole class! Thanx man, looks really great. You can consider this as an order. Let me know how to pay and all...

Calendar looks bloody awesome, thanks for doing all the hard work James!

One request: if you do this again, it would be really helpful to have it finished by no later than mid-November. Unfortunately, our classes are about to wrap up (on the 11th), so we are getting hardly any time to promote it or take orders.

Anyway, I'd like to buy at least ten. Is there a discount at that level?

Cheers,

Michi.

Thanks great Michel, I will be in touch tomorrow.

Michi I totally hear you . This has been a learning experience and things have not gone smoothly. I am sure next year (if this proves a worthwhile exercise) will run a lot easier!

[James]

If you don't intend on buying a calendar, I would be interested in hearing why too

Hi Folks,

It's with great regret that I have to tell you, we are cancelling the printing of the calendar.

I know that this is as big a disappointment for you as it is for me.

Individual calendar sales have been slow even with a huge promotional effort, and based on pre-print sales we don't think that we will be able to sell enough calendars to cover the costs of printing (which is really quite big).

Anyway this has been a really tough call for me to make and I hope you understand.

We are looking at other possible ways to make this calendar available to you right now, and I hope I can offer you an alternative soon.

Doh, I have learned about the djembe a little too late. I would love to have this calendar on my wall. Please consider making this calendar again this year! 2012 would be so much brighter with these images around the house.
