Market your Calendar

Want a marketing piece that is difficult for anyone to throw away? If so, hand them a calendar – A shinny new 2009 Calendar with your business and colorful pictures. You are sure to have been the beneficiary of a calendar at some point in the last year? Whether it be a custom print or twelve months of cute little puppies, it’s something that is hard to forget to throw away.

In the last few years the advances in printing technology coupled with the availability of online print services, has made marketing pieces such as custom calendars, easy and less expensive to create as you may think. Many of the online print services I have reviewed in recent times offers custom calendar prints as a regular product. You will find that some printers offer 2 types of custom calendars – static or personalized. Static calendars will be one that you create and each calendar will be exactly the same. Personalized calendars would be printed on a digital press and can be designed to include the recipients name or other personalized information and even images. Personalized calendars are becoming extremely popular as they are sure to grab attention and impress.

Each printer of course has its own specs, sizes and requirements. The first step is to find your printer. I have done a little of that work for you. See below for my picks. Prices will vary depending upon the amount you order, size of the calendar, and the type of complexity of the print (personalized). Step 2, find the best 12 images that will capture the audience that will receive the calendars. Try taking some funny pictures around the office, local landmarks, or even purchase 12 images online of a certain topic or interest. The printer will do the rest. Many offer calendar services with software and templates to choose a look and feel and create the days and months.
