Creating a partner gallery is an option for your website. This is where you upload and assign 13 images for your Standard Calendar. Photos need to be a minimum of 300 DPI width of 10.3 inches, height 8 inches or 3100 x 2400 pixels or a 1.3 to 1 ratio.
Images with text embedded, keep text 1” from outside border.
The image gallery allows you to upload horizontal photos from the photo collections of your members or your unique photographers. The gallery will hold up to 60 images. The images can be changed at any time.
Our gallery works best with horizontal images from digital cameras purchased in the last four years. It usually does not support images from disposable cameras, images copied or downloaded from the internet, or images received in emails (except full-resolution). This insures the highest quality of color printing.
The use of promo codes allows the organization the ability to gift or reward its members or offer special promotions for donations or membership renewals. The 5-digit codes are available for purchase from Tidelines. They are placed on the partner website and their usage is automatically recorded for viewing.
For single promo codes (that can be given to individuals) click on Buy Single Promo Codes. You can purchase any quantity and receive separate code numbers to give out. The cost is $15.00 per code (we pay shipping/handling). Your calendar buyer enters the code at check out and clicks “update order” which changes the dollar amount to $0.00. The codes “created” and “used” are tracked on the promo code page.
To purchase quantity promo codes used by the organization to print and re-sell quantities over 10 click on Buy Quantity Promo Codes. The cost is $10.00 per calendar (we pay shipping). Your purchase will create one code for the quantity purchased. When ordering from your website enter the promo code and click “update order” which changes the dollar amount to $0.00. You may only use the code for one calendar design. If you want different calendar dates, images, or images designs you need to purchase separate codes.

The text you write will appear on every calendar purchased from your website. Please consider whether your buyer will find this appealing.
You may use all caps if you wish. This text will print along with standard U.S. holidays and any personal text the buyer added when they create their own custom calendars. This text will also print on a “standard calendar” that your organization has designed and made available on your website.
