So all year I've been staring at this Jeep only calendar for the past year and thinking it would be great to have a zukiworld calendar with some of the best zuk mods out there. We could even put events like zuks on the rocks in it.
What do you guys think?
-
sounds like a good idea to me
-
Sounds good so go ahead and make yourself one.
They make it easy nowadays at so many places all you need to do is take your pictures and lay them out in the calender designer and then pay for them to make your calender up.It can be done right online very easily.
It wont say ZUKIWORLD but it could be done well I guess if you made your very own personal calender it could have anything you wanted in it.
It would be nice if ZUKIWORLD had a calender offered in the OUTLET but I'm guessing getting the rights to some pictures might be a problem unless maybe the calenders were free.

We could definitely do this... How about a photo contest thread to see who gets selected? The winners get a free calendar and the rest of us get to buy a cool calendar with Suzuki rigs in it.

That would be great. What resolution pictures would you need?

Sounds like a cool idea

sounds like a good idea about the contest

Sounds like a lot of people agree.
Eric, can we make a thread to post pics and vote. We also need a list of events that will happen for sure for next year. PM me if you need help, this could be really awesome.
-
I gots pics, where do i send them this sounds awsome i have about 20 people ay work that would love to have one

I have been wanting to do a suzuki calendar for several years now. Here is how I am thinking I would like to do it.
Offer up the suzuki aftermarket companies a spot on the calendar to put their contact information and submit a picture of a suzuki vehicle. What ever slots are left we put in enthusiast pictures.
Have a period where you guys send in pictures for voting. We post up the pictures we think are the best for the calendar and then you guys vote on which ones go on the calendar, and we take like the top 6 or 8 pics or something like that.
I am thinking a 14-16 month calendar. I believe we could keep it in the 15 dollar range (depending on how many we order)
so would you guys like to see vendor submitted vehicles or would you like to just have pictures of your own rigs up there?
This is for you guys so tell us what you want!!
Having some level of preorder commitment would be awesome to make sure I am not sitting on hundreds of dollars of calendars.

I think that is a great idea. You have my pre-order of 2.
I think a combination of Vendors Sponsored Rigs (showing their latest and greatest) combined with some sweet members Zuk's would be the best. Maybe a couple of pages of smaller pics in the back of the calendar of 'runners up' that almost made the cut?
You could also have the full size zuk of the month with an insert pic of a 'runner up' in a blank at the bottom of each months calendar.
My 2 cents,
Zig
-
How many pre-orders do you need?
-
Im in for 2! how much freedom would you guys have with the lettering?? it would be cool to get some info on the owners and what not also.
-
I'd be in for one, if you have paypal as a payment option.
I think it should be mainly vendor creations, and maybe a collage of enthusiasts. That way there's no hurt feelings if you don't happen to make the cut.
-
I am hoping we have vendor support. I will be continuing to put togeather ideas and this all helps, keep em coming.
I understand that we all have limitations to what we can build. Each of us has tour own battles to fight in order to participate in any hobby. I think giving everyone a chance to submit a photo of their suzuki is a great way for us to say thank you to all of you for participating in all we do.
With that said, it's a cruel world out there and somebody has to win! fortunatley we have left the voting up to you guys!
But I think we can also have an honorable mention page. I think if your featured in this years calendar then you should not be able to be featured in the subsequent years calendars unless you completly redesign your rig or build a new one.. we will cross that bridge when we get to it. (yes honorable mentions should be allowed to resubmit for the next year)
Owner information and details on the vehicle can be shared to the extent of eaches comfort with a minimum requirement to provide some basics.. I am totally going to steel this idea but but what crawl does for features is in my mind brilliant and clever and just plain bad ass.
If possible I would love to do something like that..
So I have alot of things to figure out but if you have a great picture, please feel free to send it over to me.
hutch|removethispart|@zukiworld.com
ALSO!
don't send me links to outher sites that have pictures of your rig. The hosted images are low res and we won't be able to use them. Please send full resolution pictures. i will down size them when posting them for voting.
let's see what you guys have!

vendors rigs would be cool, without them our sport would be a primitive one still.
but here are a few ideas to help make it more interesting........
submissions should be action shots. no poser shots. i'f i want to stare at a sitting pretty suzuki, i'll go out to my driveway!!( EBewley could just make his own calander in that case)
submissions should be made by the vehicle owner(therefore the owner of the vehicle being displayed is the person that gets the free calander)lots of people have lots of zuk pics(myself inc.) fairness would be that you cannot submit some one elses vehicle
and i'll pre-order 3

seems like we have a decent amount of interest. Let's get some pictures sent in so we can get to voting... time is running short!
Hutch
you can send pictures directly to me at hutch|removethispart|@zukiworld.com

Well coming up on 30 days since the last post(me) and I haven't recieved anywhere near enough pictures...like 3 to be exact. I appreciate everyone that has interest in this, and I am not giving up but it appears we may have to rethink this in regards to getting content. I will keep you guys posted on what we come up with.
Hutch
-
Ha, I missed the request for pictures. I need to go through my list and send them to you. To bad you can't just go to http://picasaweb.google.com/CrawlersNW and pick and choose. :P
http://picasaweb.google.com/CrawlersNW/TeamTrophyChallengeWashington07#5116228982217812578 is one of my favorites. :D

I will need to dig up some pics of the old Kick off my laptop at home and send you a few. My favorite pic has been web-a-nized and to low res for a calendar (and I cant find the original) :P And prob will be to late to get pics of the new one for this year.
Zig
-
Do you have any from any kind of runs. If you get the calander done ill get two if I can afford it. Just pm me and let me know when its done

Great idea. It may be a little late for 2009, but hey, I've seen some zooki guys pull some great stuff out at the last minute!
Some things to consider:
* Print-on-demand. This is where you setup an account with a print-on-demand publisher. They give you a web page with your product, and tell you how much it will be to print each calendar. The difference between what they charge, and what you charge is your net gain. As people buy your calendar, they deposit money in your bank, and send off calendars.
* SOMEONE on here has to be a photoshop super stud. They can add vendor's products / logo / whatever to the photo's. Sponsorship = good.
Thing you can do with the "profit":
* Pocket it (it's your idea, and I have nothing against capitalism)
* Use the proceeds to help pay for some zukiworld 4x4 events.
* Donate it to Zukiworld BBS.
* Donate it to our soldiers' families. The donations to help the family of soldiers in need have dropped below 1/2 what it was last year.
And, can we avoid the temptation to do ONLY radical builds? I enjoy a well-done mild build (like some of the 4-door expedition conversions) as much as some of the extreme jobs... but hey - that's just me.

or we can add no profit and get the calenders at cost. ;D also 4wheelparts.com has this thing you can donate off road lights and other stuff to the troops. read it in off-road adventure

I much prever donating to http://www.armedforcesfoundation.org/index1.html (http://www.armedforcesfoundation.org/index1.html) or http://www.militaryblood.dod.mil/ (http://www.militaryblood.dod.mil/). Lucky for blood banks, I'm one step away from being the universal donor (anyone with + blood can take mine). Unfortunately for me, there's only 2 of the 8 blood types that can donate to me ;D
Delivering the calendars at cost is certainly an option as well. But I wouldn't mind paying an extra $5 or so if the extra $$$ was going to a good cause.
/end soap box
-
Going to the solders and there familys sounds good to or kids. I'm on board for a good cause
-
Well as I am sure you all have probably figured out there isn't enough time to get a calendar out for this year, but I have wanted to do one of these for awhile. So we will table it for next year, however if you stumble across good pictures of your vehicle send them in so we have material for next year, I may build something just to have and if I do I will put it up at cost or at a location where we can all order copies.
Thanks
Hutch

i dont know how everyone else feels but i still would buy one if it came out in late January. If you could even see if it could be February to January 09'?
i would even buy one if it was just a scrap book of all the forum members cars with details. looking on the forum is great but when you have a booklet to hang on your shop wall or to show your friends its great.
-
Last chance for picture submittance guys. If you have good action shots of your rigs send them in to me. Please send high resolution pics if you have them.
Hutch

crap! I thought this topic went to the way side awhile ago. We should start a new thread for 2010 and when it gets closer and a link to the main page so everyone will see it.

You Didn't miss out for 2009. The calendars will still be available throughout the year through the Outlet! store. http://www.zukiworld.com/catalog/index.php We will most likely have a 2010 version available in the fall of 2009.
Thank you, Eric

Jeremiah,
I checked back through our orders and I am not showing an order per the name Jeremiah or to your location. I am assuming your store credentials are differents so please email me (hutch|removethispart|@zukiworld.com) or PM me, or give me a call at 714-614-1177 so I can get some customer specific information. When you placed your order, the store should have sent you a confirmation email of your order. Hopefully you didn't delete that.
We will get to the bottom of it ASAP!
Best Regards,
Jason

Thanks for the quick replies...
I found an email on my end. It 1/2 looks like I made a purchase, "Thank you for using PayPal Express Checkout!" and 1/2 looks like I setup an account, "an account has been automatically created for you". It made no mention of what item (calendar) I actually purchased, or for how much. So, maybe I just setup an account and thought I made a purchase :-[ Anyway, I'll forward the full email to you and we'll work it out.
Thanks again!
Jeremiah

For other's reading: looks like the screw up was on my end :-[ Despite that, Jason went above and beyond to make things right. Thank you for your quick responses and great customer service!
