6 Reasons To Use Calendar Printing In Your Marketing Initiative

By: Janice Jenkins

If you think people get enough calendars around the holidays, think again. People do not get enough calendars at the holidays! Especially smaller calendars that can be used at work or in a purse or car. Need more convincing to add calendar printing to your marketing plan? Here are six reasons you should use promotional calendars.

1. It is a low-cost marketing tool. When you think about how many times people are going to look at your name and your logo (at least once a day, if not more), promotional calendars are one of the most high-quality low-cost marketing tools you can use. If people look at your calendar at work, twice per day, 250 days per year and your calendars cost $5 each to print, that would boil down to a penny per look!

2. People start to look forward to them. My parents own a dry cleaning business and my father has bought promotional Norman Rockwell portrait calendars every year for the past 18 years and in the past few years, long-time customers have started asking about the calendars in October! The customers love the calendars and look forward to getting them each year. This builds loyalty between customers and my parents' dry cleaning business. Studies have shown that 85% of promotional calendar users do business regularly with the company that supplied the calendar.

3. You know who gets it and when. You can control the distribution of your calendars. You can hand them out personally or mail them, knowing that each person is going to receive his calendar. If you are using the calendar as a gift, you will know exactly how many to order because you know how many customers you have. (Of course you'll want to order more for any new customers.)

4. Customers see them as gifts, not advertisements. Because customers use calendars and need them, they do not see them as a blatant form of advertising. Customers are willing to accept promotional calendars because they are of use to the customer.

5. Calendars offer customers variety all year long. You can select whatever theme you would like, or more importantly, a theme you think your customers would like, and get a variety of photos on that theme. You can also choose from a variety of styles, like desk calendars, wall calendars, wallet-size calendars or day planners to give your customers something a little different.

6. Calendars gain value. As the year goes on, the busier people's lives get. This means more jotting of notes on calendars to remember dates, birthdays and important appointments. Some calendars are even used as a kind of phone book to jot down new telephone numbers. People are known to be lost without their calendars, and if they are using your calendar, they will feel thankful that you gave it to them, which will improve your business relationship even more.

  • What Makes Something Eye Catching? By: Janice Jenkins - Over and over again I have used the phrase eye-catching in order to describe what you need to do with your marketing. For certain types of advertising this idea are even more important, or at least I have mentioned it a lot more. Consider for color poster printing you will have to put quite a bit of thought into how much your poster catches the eye. With brochures this is not quite as much of a concern.
  • The Best Out Of Your Folders By: Janice Jenkins - The best kind of pocket folder printing does three things at the same time: makes things a lot easier and more convenient for you, for your customers, and helps to advertise your company. The way they advertise your company breaks down into two different things. The first is that it shows people that you are on top of things and prepared, and the second thing it does is keep your company name close to them.
  • How To Make People Appreciate Your Newsletter By: Janice Jenkins - Newsletters are meant to be a window into your company. People read newsletters because they want to know how well your company is doing and what is going on. Consider it like going into the same store over and over again where you know the people working there and you like to ask them about their life. You have struck up a kind of friendship with them and you want to know who they are.
  • Common Postcard Pitfalls By: Janice Jenkins - I would say that the number one mistake I see in the postcards showing up in my mail is that they often are trying to say far too much. This is not the only issue I am going to be discussing about postcard printing, but I do consider it to be one of the most important ones, mainly because it happens so often. A postcards needs to accomplish two things.
  • Learn It : How To Become A “big Fish” In A Little Pond In Article Marketing By: uppu - Are you interested in making a six figure income using Article Marketing? There are internet professionals that do just that. It only makes sense that if they can do it, you can too. Get out your fishing pole we are going angling.The next question is of course how do they do it? To be totally honest these six figure wonders do it just like you do.
  • Calendar Strengths To Take Advantage Of By: Janice Jenkins - The most important part of calendar printing has to do with the topic of the calendar. Why do people buy different calendars? It is not as if the calendars function in some unique manner. All calendars accomplish the exact same thing, and because if you get one from a company making them for promotional reasons the calendar is free, that should mean everyone will jump to get one, right?
  • Tips For Distribution: Booklets By: Janice Jenkins - For any kind of advertisement you will want to be very specific about where you hand them out, but with booklets this tends to be even more important. Given the length of a booklet you have to be certain that you have the right kind of audience, or find other ways to increase the odds of a person taking interest in what your booklet is about.
  • Pinpoint Your Exact Audience By: Janice Jenkins - Who you originally think you are going to be appealing to and who you end up having as the true base for your customers is not always the same. The reason is because when a company first starts out they are going to have a much broader sense of who they are trying to get business from.
  • Tips For Distribution: Brochures By: Janice Jenkins - How you get your marketing material to your customers can impact the final out come of the sale almost as much as the material itself. Part of this is the fact that the way you hand out your material can have an impact on what the marketing material is like, and the environment that the person sees the material in. Brochures are rather unique in that they do not have a very clear way of getting them to people.
  • What You Put On Your Business Card Says A Lot About You By: Janice Jenkins - It can take as little as a second to figure out quite a bit about a person once I take a look at their business card. This is not just about the information you literally put on the card. I am not talking about your name, phone number, business name, or any of those other details you are likely to put on your card, but about how you approach marketing, and even how you might approach running your business.
