eCals - FAQ

How do I order backordered items?

It depends on the statement about the item. If it is on backorder you should be able to add it to your shopping cart and pre-order it. If it is not available,
    THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. The publisher is out of stock. If you would like to purchase this title, we recommend that you occasionally check this page to see if it's been reprinted.
then it's not even available to backorder, it's out of print with no known restock available.

Why do I get File-Not-Found Pages

This means that Amazon.com no longer has a record of the calendar; they are completely sold out with no backorder possible from the publisher. We then rebuilt our site (automatically) and our rebuilding program creates a "File-Not-Found" page.

Do you do fund raisers?

Unfortunately we do not do fundraisers. But we have several leads and suggestions.
  1. You can contact the companys listed on our Imprinted Calendars page at http://www.ecals.com/site/imprinted.htm. They might be able to create the calendar for you.
  2. Look in your local yellow pages or the closest large city YPs for a print shop that makes custom calendars or look under "Calendars" for companies that print calendars, this can be a mix of retailers, wholesalers and marketing firms.
  3. Look in your local yellow pages under Advertising - Promotional Products for a company that creates calendars.

How do I sell my calendar on your site?

We would be interested in selling your calendar(s).
  • We do NOT sell pornographic calendars.
  • We reserve the right NOT to sell, list, promote or link to any calendar or product.

We prefer to sell calendars as an affiliate of the sellers site or via Amazon.com. But, here are the possible ways to sell via eCals.

  1. Do you have an affiliate program we can join? If not, we suggest you look at the clicktrade.com program. If so, please send us the URL for us to join.
  2. You can register with Amazon.com to sell your calendars and we will resell from Amazon. Just let us know about your calendars.
  3. We can setup a simple order form that lists your calendars, using your server for images and process the orders securely and forward the orders to you via email. We then bill you monthly for a 20% commission. We reserve the right to review the product and decide if this is worth our cost of approximately $400.00.
  4. Assuming you are an individual or small calendar publisher we will list it on our Custom/Exclusive/Charity calendar page.

    To list your calendar we need:

         URL:
         Title:
         Description:
         We ask for one calendar to be sent to us for the listing:
           eCals
           1605 St. Williams Loop
           Round Rock, TX 78681
    

How do I find a calendar for a local attraction/event?

Probably not going to be much help unfortunately, but here are some ideas. Many of these "local" or "specialty" calendars are produced and marketed locally, sometimes "onsite" (at a stadium or event), the local market is so large and/or specific they don't have to invest in national marketing and distribution.
  1. The first place is the Indians organization, they should have a public relations or customer relations phone number.
  2. Next would be local sporting goods stores, memorabilia/collector shops and gift stores that carry sports items.
  3. You might try searching on www.metacrawler.com.

How do I publish my calendar?

You can self publish or if your calendar is perceived by a publisher as great or unique, they might publish it and give you a portion of the net sales. Say 10%, maybe more if you are a known author, artist or celebrity.

If you wish to publish the calendar yourself, the Internet can make it much easier and more likely to make money on the calendar. You can have a local printer, who does calendars, print the calendar for you or you can find calendar printers who specialize in printing them.

Once you have it printed you can market it online. See our How do I sell my calendar on your site? section.

Why is the price listed different from the Amazon.com price?

If you look at a listing it has a price and/or discount listed, but when you click on the link and go to the Amazon.com page the price is not discounted. This is because we build our site once a week (during Oct, Nov, Dec., once a month otherwise) from Amazon.com information. So our site can be out of synch with Amazon's "updated" information/prices. They will remove the discount for several reasons; low margin, small purchase from publisher, low volume sales, new calendar, discontinued sale, etc.

This is why we put the following statement at the top of our listings.

NOTE:
Listed prices may not be current. Please select item(s) to verify price and place your order.

Sorry for misguiding you in anyway. We just can't afford to rebuild the entire site more often than weekly or monthly depending on the schedule.
