We release a hexadecimal calendar through the Russian KickStarter
I think many people know the anatoly_rr Habrayuser and its New Year calendars .
In connection with some events, I worked a little with printing houses dealing with small print runs, and of course I immediately had the idea to print the circulation of such a calendar. Moreover, in the comments there was not a single sentence “If I’d sell, I would have bought it.”
But I didn’t want to follow the usual scheme - to invest my money, and then sell the circulation in small lots, I thought about a much more “correct” system - the one on which the foreign project KickStarter operates.
If someone doesn’t know KickStarter.com, this is a website where everyone can publish their project by writing what they want to do by attaching drawings, information, renderings or photos of prototypes. After that, those who are interested in this project may donate a certain amount, the size of which will determine what this person will receive in the future. Suppose, donating $ 1 he gets thanks, $ 10 - mention on the box, $ 50 - the piece of iron, which was described in the project.
This solves several problems at once - the developer receives the initial capital, which is also the payment of the first batch.
Naturally, I wanted to find an analogue of KickStarter in our country, and I found it - the project S-miru-po-nitke.ru
After short negotiations with the administrations of the service, I wrote a text and published a draft calendar.
Meet: Hex calendar .
')
In general, let's see - burn out or not? After all, this business model is also good because if I fail to collect the amount for circulation, the funds will simply be returned to those who have invested them.
30 rubles for a calendar with delivery is not so much!
