Shades Of Color Launches Direct Sales and Fundraising Program In Time For The Holidays
Los Angeles, CA (BlackNews.com) - Shades of Color, LLC - the world's largest manufacturer of African-American calendars - is proud to announce the launch of direct sales and fundraising programs for non-profits and home-based businesses. Just in time for the holiday season, interested parties may sell Shades of Color calendars, boxed Christmas cards, and other novelty items reflecting contemporary African-American culture. The Forgotten League, The Art of Annie Lee, The Civil Rights Movement and My Peepz are just a few of the most popular calendars. Additionally, a new line of Christmas cards feature a variety of artistic styles sure to stand out on the fireplace mantle this season.
Shades of Color's new initiative combines direct sales and fundraising to attract both micro-entrepreneurs and non-profits. Schools, churches and other groups can meet fundraising goals for their 2007 programs with ZERO upfront costs. With profits of up to 50%, many groups will certainly want to earn money for school events, team uniforms, and trips among other activities. Additionally, entrepreneurs may start a home-based business as a Shade of Color Enterprise. As with Mary Kay Cosmetics or Avon, they can easily become a direct sales consultant, selling products from the catalog without carrying an inventory.
Demand for calendars continually increases despite the onslaught of technology. In 2004, the largest online calendar retailer, Calendar Club, sold 45 million calendars alone. Wall calendars have evolved into decorative accents as consumers personalize their work and living spaces with affordable objets d'art. "We celebrate our heritage by creating African-American products that uplift and inspire," states Adrian Woods, co-founder and VP of Product Development. "This is a chance for kids and adults alike to learn more about their history while discovering the fundamentals of entrepreneurship."
