Customer Comments:
We are an animal welfare organization that gets no public funds other than private donations and money from our fundraisers. Our goal is to educate others about responsible pet ownership, abolish cruelty, and rescue homeless animals by finding forever homes for them. This calendar was a wonderful fundraiser for CAAWS, and it gave a sense of pride to the volunteers and adoptive owners of animals we have helped.
Service was wonderful, people were great, calendar was beautiful, shipping was perfect.
Thank you for a beautiful product that has made a lot of people happy and allowed us to continue to pay our bills and save a few more lives by preventing unwanted pregnancies in the homeless dog and cat population. OUr volunteers feel so good when they see their charges featured in the calendar, they can't wait for next year's calendar to come out. This is a wonderful thing that gives us a way to reward people who give their all for creatures who have nothing.
You guys are fantastic! We love you! |

Customer Comments:
The calendar I created with your software definitely met all of my standards. I was able to lay it out exactly how I envisioned it. It turned out beautifully. The print quality and paper stock were excellent. They were produced very quickly, and arrived in time for our annual Christmas party. We are a horse training facility and the subjects of my photography are our clients. They absolutely loved seeing themselves, their children and their horses on a calendar. We will definitely have to do this again next year. They made for an excellent and very well-received Christmas gift to our clients ! |

We started w/calendars three years ago. They went over well, but weren't very professionally finished. Last year we turned to your company and the response was amazing. We ordered 20% more this year than last, and they all sold by early January! People love the quality of the product.
You are a pleasure to work with. Our calendar is gaining a reputation among rescues for its quality and uniqueness. You're a very big part of that. Thanks! |

Why calendars:
We consider calendars to be an integral part of a professionals life. Having a calendar right in front of you helps you plan and know your schedule. Even though we are in the digital era, a calendar that you can touch and feel is still preferred by many. We know this because every year my clients contact me personally to reserve their copy. This year the print quality was excellent. |

Why calendars:
Thought it was an interesting way to share photos of a unique vacation with family and friends; and create a useful Hanukkah/Christmas present for people who don't need more "things."
Other comments:
All my friends and family loved the calendars and the "profits" I made were their positive reactions -- a very worthwhile return. Many of them still don't believe I took the pictures. I think their skepticism is heightened by the "professional-look" of the calendar.
