Tell HN: 2009 Calendar, to help hackers with networking.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=412050Hi,
I am two timing between a start-up and grad studies. This is my holiday project. I put together some photographs that I made during 2008 that align to a theme as a calendar for 2009.
This is for sale now. The deliverables are hi res ( order of 3000 pixels ) copies of these files which can be printed at your favorite local print shop. ( or home if you have good printers ). I will also customize each copy with your business name/contact information.
What good is this ?
1. Think of this as purchasing an ad space right on your clients table for a period of one year. What is that worth to you ? Calendars lie around for a year, and when people ask about it your company name( or your name if you are a freelancer ) comes up in the conversation a lot and that is a good thing.
2. This is a great way to start a conversation going with those cold contacts in your clientele. This new year I will give you an excuse to start a conversation with a potential client and leave a favorable lasting ( for one year ) impression on their table.
3. Since this is not mass produced your gift will be unique.
Mail me at [s n a t h a n (at) c i s e (dot) u f l (dot) e d u] if you are interested in this product.
Wish you all a productive new year filled with excitement, learning and building.
