Calendar production

Start up

Typical Workflow v 0.1 Jun 12_pagenumber.001Stage 1: We’ll work with your service team to review your data and establish how best to set up a master dataset that contains all of your round and property information. If you already have this dataset established in another system, all we’ll need to do is some validation checks. If you don’t have a master dataset, we can help you build one.

Stage 2: We’ll discuss with you, your designers and (if you’re doing a mailshot) your printers to establish how you want your calendars to look, and work out how to format the calendars so that they fit seamlessly into your artwork and preferred layout. If you don’t already have these arrangements in place our preferred partner Mail Marketing can offer a complete design, print and distribution solution.

Stage 3: Once we’ve understood your requirements, and how much help you need we’ll send you a fixed price proposal document for as much (or as little) of the service that you choose.

Stage 4 : We’ll develop the master collections dataset and a bespoke calendar layout to your detailed specifications and email you initial proofs for checking, normally within a few days.

Stage 5: The final data (image files, and address listing) ready for printing or uploading to your website will follow, normally within 2-6 weeks depending on how many iterations are required during the proofing process to iron out any errors, and get to a final approved calendar set .

Production

Typical steps to create a calendar set include:

  • Assembly & validation of a master collection list
  • Agreeing “look and feel” for the calendar graphics
  • Production of proof outputs for checking
  • Creation of library of graphics for documents and websites
  • Large format copies if required (for the visually impaired)

And, if you want to do a mailshot and have detailed address data:

  • Calendar inserts / mail-merge listings, ready for printing
  • Print-ready PDF’s for small-run digital printing if required
  • Specialist data sub-sets, for your own mail-merge applications
  • Allocation of post town/delivery sort codes, for mailing contractors
  • Comprehensive delivery schedules, if you’re doing hand delivery

These steps can be undertaken separately or combined as required to meet your needs.

We’re also happy to develop bespoke solutions for any special requirements that you may have.
