Postcards for Sale - help support a local NGO
Re: Postcards for Sale - help support a local NGO
I think that's a great idea, there are 2-3 among those designs that I'd buy as a wall poster.DeparRudeAnts wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 3:00 pm They're good designs, I think they would sell better as A3 sized posters with a bit of a blurb and contact details at the bottom. Get them up in a few trendy bars and I think you'd make a few more sales
I'm not completely disinterested in the postcards as well, but realistically, they'd just end up in a drawer same as my krama lol.

Ok, it was just a thought.Postcard_Seller wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 7:21 amI think phone covers would be too difficult. There are too many brands/models of phones out there with differing dimensions. Also good cases with MagSafe or good protection are too expensive to make.Doc67 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 8:41 pmWhy not make phone covers instead of postcards? Everyone uses them and if they had a nice logo people could get their 'I'm a donor' kudos for months for a one-off price. Just a thought....Postcard_Seller wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 6:36 amLol, not even one!Doc67 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 1:27 amI hope you sell some postcard after this interrogation.Postcard_Seller wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 11:59 am
I am Jonny, yes.
The trips are not poverty tourism - though I understand your concerns. We are very protective of the communities in which we work. We focus on hope and transformation rather than stories of pity.
We do need to communicate a bit of the ‘before’ situation though and this is done as sensitively and non-touristy as possible.
Postcards are so 1970's (like me, and I suspect you too)
We have sold a decent amount elsewhere and have covered costs, anything sold now is profit.
They are being bought and used not so much as postcards but as ‘thank you’ or ‘thinking of you’ cards. A few people also bought them to display.
Also, grandad, my birthdate just about scraped into the 70’s
Oh, I'm a vintage '67, so less of the "grandad"

Re: Postcards for Sale - help support a local NGO
The best postcards i had (still have somewhere) were not photographs, but illustrations of the local Indonesians customs, a good 2/3 of the card is a nice détailed realistic drawing, and the other 1/3 is a text explaining the custom.
There are many great pics everywhere, but the combination of knowledgeable stuff + illustration (drawing, pic, scheme, whatever the best) is a good too scarce option, which led me to buy the whole serie, 20 years ago.
Impossible to find them in shops anymore now ^^
I' ll try to post a pic when i find them in my stuff
