Hey guys,

I have a little project I'm thinking of doing and wanted to hear what you think;

I'm looking into printing 2 or 3 photos from the season to do a large poster. They would be epic shots with no company logos plastered all over, just a nice layout with athlete name, location etc... and each would be personally signed.

Since the upstart cost are relatively high, I would need to charge something around 25$.

What do you think?

I really appreciate your input :)

Felix

would you post them overseas and would postage cost excessive amounts of currency?

Definitely! But I would put max price at $20... I'd personally rather only pay up to $15. But it all depends on the poster and how good it looks though

i want to see the picture, but i would most likely be in. take some of the cutout pages from powder i have hanging on my walls. and if there were more than one, i might buy more than one, but only if there was some sort of multi deal, because i need to replace some of those gay racing posters i have from years ago....

Sounds like an amazing idea! Would definitely pay for some ski posters, especially without all those companies logos and stuff on them. Plus, $25 is a legit price for a sick shot, autographed, and free of company logos. PLUS, you're supporting one of our industry's photographers!

$25 seems very reasonable for a high quality print of thr size, I was honestly expecting a bit more pricey. I'd be very into buying a print. Great idea, there isn't enough ill skiing posters. I always wanted better ones when I was a kid. Freeze and Freeskier posters litter the walls of my old room.

Last year I payed $20 to go the the poorboyz premier and got like 10 posters. So it's not really worth it for me unless you're selling HUUUGE really sick posters.

LOL "startup costs"..the whole point of making a company at first, is an investment and you take the initial hit in hoping that your product is satisfied and reliable, then you start making money. $25 is steep

$25 still seems steep for me. if it was 15, maybe even 20 thats fine. "startup cost" becomes obsolete if its too high in the first place, especially to a market of 14 year old males

a bunch of 14 yr olds who have mothers that buy them anything they want...  we are not talking about new air jordans and the hood you know...  most families that can afford to go skiing enough that their kids even know who b-dog is, can afford $25 for a sick ass poster of their hero...

Depends on who you go through, or if you do it yourself. For a large print like this, on nice paper with photo finish I would estimate the cost at about $10 a square foot if you were to get it done at a normal print shop, maybe down to $5 a square foot if ordering online... Keep in mind thats buying a finished product at retail cost. So yes and no.. It just depends on who and where it gets done.
