Why are calendars a good advertising tool?

Saddle-stitched calendars and spiral bound calendars are great advertising tools for so many reasons!

  1. People look at calendars often. Every time they have a new event or appointment or want to make a note, people have to look at their calendar. Every time your customers look at their calendars, they will be reminded of your products or services.
  2. Calendars are useful. This means that customers are less likely to throw away your marketing because it is something that they can actually use.
  3. Calendars last for a long time. Calendars are made to be used for an entire year! This means that they will not be thrown away until the year is over. Because of this, calendars have a much longer lifespan than other common marketing materials like flyers, brochures, postcards, and direct mail.
  4. Calendars have flexible designs. Calendars can be designed in whatever way makes sense for your brand! Their size and page count are fully customizable. You can choose to include images or stick with just a grid of days. Calendars can even be themed or focused on certain days.
  5. Most people own multiple calendars. Most people have a calendar at there work desk and maybe another one or two at home. This means that there is always a demand for calendars!
