    I tried that a couple of weeks ago, but did not get a reply.

    Worth doing it again. You may have more luck than I did.

    Heres an idea.

    Everyone stick up an ad on pix or flickr as a photo with the link to buy in the description? (not sure if thats allowed)

    Surely we'd reach a lot of contacts

    I was thinking exactly same this morning. Everybody put a copy of a poster in their flickr or pix with a link.

    The Examiner press clipping. I'll post as a jpg later. I'll post up all 3 press clippings as jpegs and perhaps we can put them on the photobook website?

    Hey everyone,

    Out of the blue (well almost - he's usually plugging away in the background at all things photography), we received an email today from Marcus over on Pix.ie to say that he would like to add to the support of the boards.ie photography book in aid of the santa strike force. He offered the project free advertising space on pix.ie - and get a load of this;

    ONE MILLION FREE ADVERTISING IMPRESSIONS


    This will run in the lead up to Christmas. There was a pix.ie release heading out this evening so with a bit of a rush we tracked down a couple of users over the course of the afternoon who had previously signalled their willingness for their images to be used and put them / their image directly in touch with Marcus.

    The product of all of this is that every page on pix.ie which displays an image has an embedded boards.ie photography book in aid of santa strike force advertisement - this deployed across millions of pix.ie pages.

    See the following post on the pix.ie thread and view some of your own pictures over on pix.ie

    Needless to say, the project will benefit enormously in terms of publicity and each advertisement links to the boards.ie photography book blurb page so hopefully we'll get a number of additional orders chalked up.

    This is a really great thing for Marcus to do (and without being prompted or harassed!) and I want to thank him on behalf everyone involved. I'm sure the SSF will be well pleased. It is really appreciated that pix.ie have replaced a stream of their own income with potential income being generated for a great cause, and while the great cause won't pay the bandwidth bills I trust that everyone will remember pix.ie when the are looking to support an online image and album data store.

    Thanks again Marcus.

    Is it 3 days later in Ireland than it is in Scotland? :confused:

    Mines came today, was a little dissapointed to see that the cover had recieved a fair bit of battering on the way here, but inside the book looks wonderful, there really is some amazing images in there.

    Well done everyone!

    Woops, we're gone back to 199. :o

    Looks like someone has cancelled an order. Think it might have been the one I mentioned before, stalled from November 8th.
