I need your opinion...

[Ythier]

Hi,
I need your opinion !
I made a poster on scorpions which I will print soon.
It will be 50x70cm (20x27in), good quality paper, and 76 species of scorpions. Price will be about 10€ (12$) max.
Now I'm just wondering how many copies I should print.
Do you think it's a good idea ? If you see this poster in a petshop, would you be interested in ?
Here's a picture of the poster, quality is bad but you can imagine the thing.
Thanks a lot for your opinion
Cheers,
Eric

greets
Michael

 

[Bayushi]

Falyn and I would buy a poster like that.... I say go for it..

 

[ROBTILE]

nice idea(handyman), but isn't it better to make it much bigger.
a poster of 70x50 isn't a real poster in my eyes.
I'll definately buy one if it's for 8€ hehe...

 

[Ythier]

will you be selling them round the EU?

Yes I hope, if the poster is well received, I will try to offer it to as many petshops as possible, and probably offer it also on my website.

 

[Ythier]

but isn't it better to make it much bigger. a poster of 70x50 isn't a real poster in my eyes.

Yes I thought to a bigger size...but unfortunately it's too expensive for my budget

I like it, it is just how I hoped someone might do it. Very cool.

 

[Kugellager]

I think I would definitely have to buy one...especially if they are your photographs :clap:
How large are the individual images?

Hey Eric,

Count me in on a purchase. Would you be doing a paypal setup with your site for international orders?

Opinions to your questions include the following:

1. Larger size
2. More pictures
3. Signature
4. All of the above

Seriously, whatever you decide you should do fine in your marketing of the poster. Maybe Dr. Fet will note a link on his site. I'll even add a banner to my site or the ring if you or Patrick supply it.

All my best !

Sinc. Chad

How large are the individual images?

Hi,
Yes they are my photos. They are not very large (I think about 7x5cm, 2,7x2in) because I would like to put a lot of species (76). I could enlarge them but reducing the number of species.

 

[Ythier]

Would you be doing a paypal setup with your site for international orders?

Yes of course Chad, I will put a Paypal page on my site.

Opinions to your questions include the following:
1. Larger size
2. More pictures

The problem is (except money to make a bigger poster) that even on a bigger poster I can't put all the species I have, so I think I will keep this size and will probably make a second poster in 1-2 years

3. Signature

What do you mean by signature ?
Thanks

 

[Ythier]

Ok thank you very much guys, your opinion is very precious for me.
Now I know that it is not a too bad idea and I can go to the printer

 

[Kayv]

That is a very good looking poster. Do you think you can enlarge it a bit so I can see the scorp pics better and read teh species name? Thank you

 

[Murziukas]

Dear Eric, I'm pretty sure that I could get you much better conditions with printing works here in lithuania.
