Did you do any product testing with the calendar with family/friends? Iterative design exists in physical products as well and I was surprised that you didn't mention any kind of testing/feedback before the actual sales.
I guess your first run of 250 could count as the product testing, though.
Suggestion: What about putting holiday names in block capitals on the line in a very light grey? Then you can see the holiday name clearly, but you can also write over it without feeling guilty or the print being too distracting. The small black print looks like it takes up enough of the line to be annoying.
Edit: There are a lot of distracting spelling mistakes in the blog entry that would make me slightly hesitant about ordering a printed product.
- dylanhassinger 13y agoit was a pretty massive post. cut the guy some slack
- cbhl 13y agoHoliday names would make it a pain to sell the product internationally. That might be premature optimization ("Do things that don't scale" and all that) but it certainly is a consideration.
- atgm 13y agoI mentioned it because they're included in the calendar that he took a picture of and the first thing I thought when I saw them was "So I'd have to write around that?"
