FairMail and Goldbek winning the 2018 “Hamburg! Handelt! Fair!” competition

lunes, enero 22nd, 2018

2018 couldn’t be off to a better start! Last week the Hamburg City Hall hosted the final round of the Hamburg! Handelt! Fair! competition.

The aim of the competition is to raise awareness on fair trade products and to implement effective marketing strategies to promote them on the market. Six teams of students from six local universities worked hand in hand with Hamburg-based companies that sell fair trade products and came up with thorough market research that were presented on January 11, 2018 before a 10-member jury of businesses and local associations.

We couldn’t be happier and prouder to announce that the students from EBC Hochschule Hamburg, supported by our German publisher GOLDBEK, won the first prize! Astrid, Lea, Laura and Sylie provided a very accurate insight on how FairMail and Goldbek could improve our online brand awareness and visibility.
On behalf of the whole FairMail family, congratulation on your achievement, girls!!

Anidela and Angeles, the stars of the European tour

En julio 2 jóvenes fotógrafos de FairMail hicieron un giro por Europa para contar la historia sobre sus postales a más personas posibles. Y para conocer más sobre el mercado de postales. El giro fue una aventura muy grande para Anidela y Angeles, porque que nunca han viajado por avión y que eran recibidas como estrellas en Alemania, Bélgica y Holanda.

Tour d’Europe

En los 17 días viajaron más que 3.000 kilómetros de los cuales 25 en bici, algo que nunca van a olvidar. No solo porque se cansaron manejando bici, sino también porque se dieron cuenta que te relajas manejando bici y ayuda para despegar la mente. También se impresionaron con la creatividad de la gente en Europa en cuanto la decoración de sus casas. Y que las cosas en Europa son tan ordenadas. También que hay muchos, varios tarjeteros en las tiendas con los cuales, sus postales tienen que competir.

After announcing the European visit of two Peruvian teenagers two months ago we are now happy to announce their travel schedule. During these programmed activities you can personally meet Yuli and Yomira between the 21st of August and the 10th of September 2013.

The two FairMail Peru photographers will visit The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. We will start the tour and give a huge welcome to Yuli and Yomira during a special kick-off event in Utrecht, The Netherlands on Saturday the 24th of August 2013. Please click here if you would like to receive an invitation to come to this event with free FairMail/Ben & Jerry’s ice cream!

The goal of their visit is to investigate their greeting card market and promote the unique story behind the FairMail cards. We have set up the program to fulfill these goals. During the three weeks they will visit representatives of the fair trade community, product developers designing products with their pictures, publishers printing their cards and shops selling them. They have also been selected to present FairMail and their personal story at the central stage of the FAIR! B2B trade fair during two days in Dortmund, Germany. Also they will be meeting FairMail’s stock photography and “printing on demand” partners like Hollandse Hoogte and Greetz. On the 31st of august they will be meeting FairMail’s end customers while selling FairMail cards to the visitors of the free Westerpop music festival in Delft, The Netherlands.

This year the theme of the European promotional tour will be “Back to School”. In august most European children go back to school, with the media often reporting about school related novelties. This year we hope to interest them for the novelty that in Peru, India and Morocco teenagers are also going back to school. But not after a pleasant holiday like most kids in Europe, but in their case after a youth working as child laborers. Thanks to their hard work and the sale of their fair trade pictures they have been able to change their destiny. And now two of them are here in Europe, available for interviews. We are still looking for more media contacts willing to interview Yomira and Yuli. Please let us know if you have any contacts. You can download the press release here.

Drei gute Gründe, die für FairMail als Weihnachtspost für Ihre Firma sprechen:

1. Die FairMail Karten haben ein modernes Design mit schönen, farbenfrohen und originellen Fotomotiven.

2. Mit einer FairMail-Karte machen Sie einen sichtbaren Unterschied: Sie versenden eine FairMail-Grußkarte und unterstützen zusätzlich ganz konkret den Jugendlichen der das Motiv dieser Karte fotografierte und dessen Namen und Foto Sie auf der Rückseite der Karte finden. Mit FairMail-Karten zeigt Ihre Firma auch nach außen hin Ihr soziales Engagement und Interesse an einer besseren Zukunft für alle.

3. FairMail bedeutet fairer Handel: Die Jugendlichen können Dank des Verkaufs ihrer Karten ihr Leben aktiv und vor allem langfristig zum Positiven verändern, indem sie nun ihren Lebensunterhalt mit einer sie fördernden, anstelle einer gesundheitlich bedenklichen Arbeit finanzieren können. Und zusätzlich bleibt genug Geld für Krankenversicherung und Schulgebühren übrig. So haben es die ersten der einst chancenlosen Jugendlichen inzwischen in eine richtige Berufsausbildung und wiederholt sogar in ein Universitätsstudium geschafft. Durch das Erfahren von Zugehörigkeit, Unterstützung und Wertschätzung während ihrer Zeit bei FairMail wächst bei den Jugendlichen die Motivation sich weiter zu entwickeln und die Zukunft in die Hand zu nehmen.

One of the first 4 Moroccan cards

One of the first 4 Moroccan cards

The first new FairMail card collection of 2013 is available now. Our German publisher produced 27 new cards. The new feature about this collection is that it contains the first 3 cards from FairMail Morocco. We are very proud that the Moroccan teenagers (Ibtissam, Siham and Fatimazahra) learned so fast how to combine commercial greeting card themes (like Birthday, New Baby and Friendship) with typical Moroccan symbols (like Moroccan baby shoes, “Hand of Fatima candles” and street cats).

For the fourth time FairMail is organizing a European promotional tour with the assistance of two of our teenage photographers. The goals are to spread the unique story behind FairMail’s greeting cards and to take valuable knowledge about the European card market back to the other photographers in Peru and India so they can adapt their product even better to the wishes of their customers. Who could do this better than the teenagers themselves?

That is why after a difficult selection procedure two Peruvian teenagers were selected to make the trip of their life to 5 European countries in August and September of 2013. Yuli and Yomira where selected on the basis of their English skills, their motivation and their ability to communicate the story behind their cards.

The tour will start on the 23rd of August in Amsterdam and end on the 12th of September in Amsterdam again. We are still working on the definitive program, but the idea is to promote their cards and visit their customers in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Germany. Stay tuned to our Facebook and this blog for the latest details about the program.

To make the trip a success we are still looking for people who can help us with:

PR and Marketing advise. We could use the help of a professional PR agency to help us make the tour more effective. We are investing a lot of money in getting the teenagers over here, but how do we make it a good investment?

– Television and media contacts. We are looking for journalists and other media contacts in Germany, France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Switzerland to give them the opportunity to interview the teenagers.

Things to do for our teenagers during Promotion tour. We are looking for places to visit and people to guide us. Places that are interesting for the teenagers to see (schools, cities, landmarks), but also places where they can promote their cards (festivals, shops, fair trade towns). Do you live in Germany, France, The Netherlands, Belgium or Switzerland and would you like to help make this the teenager’s trip of a life time, then please get in contact with us!

Taking coffee photo's

Taking coffee photo

In August a few of the FairMail teenager travelled to the Peruvian cloud forest to take pictures of the organic coffee harvest for the German Coffee producer Rapunzel. Below you can read the trip report by photographer Betty.

In 2013 4 photography trips to Peru and India are scheduled. Would you like to learn more? Then register for the information session on Saturday the 9th of February by clicking here.

What was the best part of the trip for you?

The best part of the trip is the coopration with the other photographers, volunteers and the people we meet during the trip. But also the beautiful places of our Peru that we get to know. And of course the most important: take many great pictures!

What did you like about the destination compared to where you live in Trujillo?

What I like so much about Sicches is the peace and quiet and the nature. But also the friendliness of the people who live in the small village and give us a place to stay in their house.

Why would you like more foreigners to come on a trip with you in the future?

I would like more foreigners to travel with us so we can learn more from them. But also because they give us the opportunity to travel and that way get to know more about other parts of our Peru. Thanks to them and to FairMail we get to know our own culture better and we can identify with it. And then take great pictures of the cultural things we see.

What did you work on this time during the trip?

During the trip we worked for a company that requested our services to take pictures of organic coffee. Of the production process  the drying and the families that work in coffee production. But we also worked on general card themes like love, Christmas and light etc.

Which photo did you take during the trip which you think might make it to a FairMail postcard?

This one:

Betty's new postcard?

Betty

What will you do with the money you earn if it actually becomes a FairMail card?

With the money I would continue to pay for my education (business administration) to become a good professional. And that way not let my family down.

Why did only 3 teenagers get to go on the trip this time?

Because we didn’t have enough foreign travellers to support us. That’s why there wasn’t enough budget to take more teenagers to enjoy this great trip! Through a selection process 3 teenagers where chosen who could go.
