Greetings All - Kate Dragicevich here!

The calendars have arrived and they are stunning - the photography, the 'green' message and the Miessence presence make for a professional and powerful awareness and selling tool.  Here is a preview for you - front and back cover along with the ONE Group overview and January calendar page.

Amanda and I are aware there are some of you out there concerned about the image we, Miessence may be conveying by our association in a beauty pageant.  For those of you, I would like to say that I understand and accept those views however our interest in this project was peaked when we saw the value our support would deliver to both City Farm Certified Organic Growers Market and particularly the mainstream awareness these calendars would invoke in environmental issues we are so keen to promote. With that in mind we have attached a simple, background info brief at the bottom of this page for those interested in reading more and thank you for voicing your concerns so honestly.

Calendar Promotion Pricing

A wholesale sale price of $10 including GST is being well received by retailers, try $11 if you think it appropriate however we are recommending $14.95 retail sale price instead of the $19.95 listed on the back. We believe $14.95 is an appealing price, in keeping with the ethics of this whole project and will reach the greatest number of people and generate greater sales. (Please note: all prices mentioned are in Australian Dollars).

Here are some marketing ideas we are incorporating in our sales campaign.

Naturally our existing retailers are a first port of call, they are already keen to up sell our products and support an environment awareness campaign. They are able to sell the calendar on it's own or package with our products in gift baskets etc. Suggested selling price to Retailers is $10 inc gst.

Corporations, small and large companies, Water Authorities, Government agency's i.e. Landcare depts, and local Councils, these are all organisations keen to promote themselves as good corporate citizens concerned about our environment.  There are two strategies you may wish to employ, one is to suggest their social club considers raising funds using the calendar by purchasing at $10 including GST and selling for $14.95 which leaves a nice profit for the club.  Second option is to suggest the company use the calendars as Christmas gifts for their clients and staff.        

My favourite - You may wish to consider using the calendar's as an introduction to your future Mifundraiser opportunities at schools, clubs etc you may already have approached and been allocated...It's a great opportunity for them to begin raising funds and promote your Miessence business.

Bookstores and Newsagencies are always keen to have new and interesting calendars....they have become a very popular Christmas gift over the past few years and the message our calendars convey touches many mainstream folk.

Your own Reps, their Market Stalls, Expos plus family members' and friends' Christmas gifts.

For those of you who would like further assistance feel free to contact myself or Amanda and please contact us with suggestions as we welcome your feedback.

Finally, also attached is a Tax Invoice , which can be used as your order form by completing your name, address and ABN if applicable, fill in the quantity of calendars you require and return to us. We'll then complete the tax invoice and return to you on dispatch of your order.

Warm regards
