What’s a more fitting giveaway for year-enders than calendars? Being household and office must-haves, calendars secure a spot in busy people’s rooms, and efficiently serve as constant (if not daily) reminders of important dates and events.

Another good thing about this material used as marketing tool is the space and flexibility in design that calendars offer. With wall calendars, you have a wider area to play with, not to mention, multiple pages. You can insert numerous images, as well as texts, and can get monthly exposure.

For more affordable alternatives, you can request for single-sheet calendars with your choice of posters for large format prints, and desk and card calendars as smaller options.

Too big or not too big

If you want simple yet large calendars to give out, poster calendars may be the product for you. Its sizes may reach up to 27” x 39”, enough to occupy a significant area on the wall. Since it’s lightweight, mounting can be done with the use of removable adhesives like tabs. Poster calendars can also accommodate several images and copies.

For a not-so-wide substitute, you can opt for wall calendars which typically come with 28 pages, so you can get 12 full spreads plus the covers. Owing to the pages, hanging of wall calendars need a sturdy support and this can be made easy if the calendars already come with bored holes.

Handy dandy

Small-sized calendars come in different forms such as card calendars which resemble postcards and desk calendars which are die cut to create a stable base for display. Advantages of such products over their bigger counterparts are lower costs of production and easier distribution.

You can avail short run prints through digital printing, or bulk prints with traditional printing means, and save on your printing project. Digital printing, to date, remains one of the most cost effective solutions to printing small volume orders.

With your company’s very own calendar collection, say goodbye to 2008 and greet 2009 with flair. Secure a win-win marketing venture: customers benefit from the date reminders while your company gets year-round advertising.
