The Big Picture calendar is designed to be the easiest calendar for making long-term plans. The design is meant to follow how people think so that less time is spent trying to figure out how the periods of time fit together.Originally meant to be a calendar with just a few copies made for friends, I ended up launching it with a series of three Kickstarter campaigns that hit 173%, 250%, and 309% of their goals. Campaigns were supported with a content strategy that included media coverage, email, social media posts, and updates on Kickstarter.The company has now moved on from an offset print process with inventory in storage to a print-on-demand method. Orders are automatically printed and shipped out by a third party. This opens up time for marketing and customer relations.
