Hi

Does anyone know where we can purchase WC related Christmas cards?

Cheers

Could u not make your own?

Or would that be to many to make.

I was going to make a christmas post card, but i don't have to make to many.

Hi Dave

That's a possibility, but I wanted to see if there was anything out there that may be suitable, "off the shelf" so to speak.  I may resort to making them if I can't find anything suitable.

Cheers

Sounds like a nice oppourtunity for somebody to make some money if they had the equipment to make them.
Jouk would be a good one to ask, his lad is good at designing stuff like that

I had some done by vista print you can choose from a few designs and also upload any pic you want on the front.

This will be the third year in a row that I've thought it would be a good idea to try and get some 'Cleanitup' christmas cards made up. I was thinking of getting a cartoonist to do some sort of generic comic sketch and then get a load printed up and then offering them to members at a reasonable cost. It's something Numatic does every year and it works well.

What do you think?

How many cards would everyone want and does anyone know a decent (and cheap) cartoonist?

Regards

Mike

Mike,

WC related Christmas Cards is a great idea and it's something I've asked about in the past.

One of my customers is an artist, I'll phone her later on today, for a quick chat and see if she's interested and if I can get a price out of her.

What's my brief; something connected with Window Cleaning and Christmas, but cartoon style and humerous?

[pylofm]

I personally will not send crimbo cards but will prefer to give the money directly to a established charity of my choice...Just think the money will be better used. cards do seem to be such a waste of time, resources...and just silly....I wonder what the stock market value of Hallmark is ?


I suppose that this thread officially marks the start of the Christmas season.

Cheers
Dave.

I'd buy 200 WFP Christmas Cards, but if theres a ladder anywhere on it I dont want any 

Maybe you can have 2 cards made

1 for the old timers and 1 for the future of window cleaning 

[windows_chepstow]

I've left a message on Sharon's (the artist's answer phone).

When she returns the call I'll ask her how much something like that would cost then e-mail Mike Boxhall.

If he's happy with the price, then we can discuss what should be on it.

But I would like a card with both ladders and WFP on it; since I use both.

[windows_chepstow]

Anyway, I'd have 350 of the cards; depending on their final cost and how much cash I've got on me at the time of ordering.

Remember, the cost is tax-deductable anyway.

Hi Tosh,

Yeah im only joking just trying to start another WFP vs Trad argument 

Found this American Website with WC Christmas Cards

The WC xmas card is a great idea and its something i search for every year but never find.

I would buy some if some were made up.

Good find Alistair.

I spent a lot of time looking but didn't come across the site that you found.

http://www.specialtygreetings.com/windowwashercards.html

Looks like there may be a lot of interest in this, so it will be good to see what Tosh & Mike come up with.

Cheers guys.

I've not had a reply from Sharon (the artist) yet; they could be away; they have a caravan somewhere in Devon or Dorset or somewhere.

I'll try again tomorrow.

[macc]

Good idea, i would be interested in about 250ish, would need to have a proper count up & depends on the cost but i like the idea.

[brett walker]

I agree a great idea, something i think about every year but never get round to.  With the concept of a card being made for window cleaning xmas cards makes it more interesting if the cost is right i am definately interested.

Sorry, Mike; everyone,

But I had a chat with the artist today; she doesn't/can't do this sort of 'characature' art; she must be more 'high-brow', but I know she's illustrated books.

Anyway, anyone else know any artists?

[spotless2000]

Thanks for trying Tosh.

I don't think it will be too long before someone on here comes up with a possible illustrator / artist who may be interested.
