With the numbers of increased travellers this summer Airlines, Cruise liners etc now is the time to plan for this market.
As an international artist, I felt it was time to venture into an artistic souvenir that would appeal to that market light weight for mailing or travel bag (each scene is 9”x7”) a back panel on each describes local history etc
However now for health reasons I am unable to proceed which is your opportunity to take over this project
All you need to further this prospective little moneymaker is a printer, handy with a craft knife and a suitable work area (nothing large) and a personality that can follow sales leads and some travel of your choosing
Provided are printer ready double templates for copying of 8 South Island famous tourist scenes, 2 starter stands as shown, extra scenes can be added if desired @ $50 each printer ready,
The stands are quite small 10”x10’x10” (25mmx25mmx25mm) when loaded to comfortably fit on Hotel reception, Information, or rental car counters
All artwork is supplied to you exclusively under my copyright, plus some materials to start cream A4 paper, Polybags, coloured art card
This is your opportunity to take over this project at this stage for $460 all up
Phone me on 0273583162 for further details, samples etc

Contractors will level the ground, re-lay paving, install additional lighting and street furniture, plant more trees and create landscaped areas that Christchurch City Council described as “rain gardens”.

We are so grateful that there are so many good Kiwis who are able to volunteer their time to help others.

Helping others makes us feel good ! One of the things that we, at Citizens Advice Bureau, hear from our volunteers is how good they feel after they have helped someone to find a solution to their issue.

If you have an issue that you want to talk about get in contact and our volunteers at CAB will do their best to help.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering at CAB give us a call or email manager.cabchch@gmail.com.
