Find out about how much 500 copies of virgin 10" would be on 2 sides from your mate.

Labels would be the no frills, regular font. It might be easier to get the plain white sleeves like was talked about, and perhaps have some sticker made and have whoever is getting these before distribution put the stickers on there personally. or include with the vinyl.

Something for the people. Stickers with the name for the record cases, etc.. anything to get the name out there.

Stickers are HELLA cheap.

i suppose if 500 get done 400 -450 will actually get sold as we will need to give away promos-to dj's to generate interest.

if you get a big name saying the label-people will take note

and lets not think about just u.k either

get ome promos out in da world

yea. if there is a run of 500, I would like that 250 would come stateside. The initial shipping charge would be the only rough spot in getting them over here. After that, it's a matter of getting rid of them...

I don't want to speculate on what the first tracks should be, but if they are what tracks I hope they are, this will need to be repressed again in a few weeks. I'm dead serious.

Probably 25 of those records out of 250 would be either sold cheaper or sent out as promotional materials. If 500 Copies of this initial record sell immediately, it goes without saying that there should be an official release of 1000 or more.

I can make 2 DIY stampers for labels.

I made them for Goosehound promo copies.

That could work. We still need stickers. I want to litter record cases and record shops and parties with them. Absolute visual and aural assault.

I don't want to get all premature, but it's shaping up to be Pressing Issues. Perhaps a logo will be in order... and a standard size advertising banner for signatures, avatars and websites/myspace pages is in order

ok let's let the name poll run until wednesday night.

then let's give graphic designers say a week to come up with a logo / design

then another poll to decide which design is the best

then let's get stickering

budget!

then post pricing and links

thank you very much

lets start and build the finance plan

i could do big sticker runs at work at the weekend as long as they're black and white

all i need to do is buy the stickers on the cheap through work and also toner

few hours = hundreds of stickers

ok quality wont be the best

but as a more "quality" thing i have a good hook up with a printers round here and i'll get a price for a few thousand

10,000.00 approx £400.00

he's gonna try and knock it down a bit but that's the best he can do at the moment for full colour

as long as my work lets me have an account for the label, email marketing is taken care of - no cost associated.

about email like @pressingissuesrecordings.com - no idea.

ok man thats a start-sounds really cheap

yeah i can get out of VAT if i order them through work

just need a logo as high quality as possible

oh and ive got pressingissues@googlemail.co.uk as a temporary email address so if you need to send emails then pm me and i'll give you the password

any way we can order fewer stickers for less?

just seems a bit much spending that much right now

A6 (148 x 105mm) Postcards are priced as follows:
£100 for 1000 postcards
Run-ons are £50 per 1000
