It’s Calendar Season!

As we enter into the last four months of the year, it’s time to get those promotional calendar orders in! At Mapleleaf Promotions, we’ve got a huge selection of customizable wall calendars to suit any business or organization.

In an increasingly tech-centered world, you may wonder what printed promotional calendars can do for your business. The truth is that calendars are still a highly impactful and cost-effective way to strengthen bonds with your customers, increase brand recognition, and spread the word about your business. Here are just 5 ways that using promotional calendars will benefit your business.

1. Calendars are Long-Lasting Gifts

If you’re looking to give a gift to your valued customers and employees, whether it’s for the holiday season or just because, you’ll want to give them something you know they will keep and use for a long time. After all, the longer a person holds on to and uses a promotional product, the more impressions that product is likely to generate! A holiday card will be displayed for a few weeks at most, but a calendar will stay up on the wall for the entire year, exposing your brand to anyone who comes across it.

2. Calendars are Inexpensive

Calendars are a cost-effective gift that you can distribute to a huge number of people for a very low price. Essentially, low prices = more product for your money, and more product = more people reached. The more people you distribute your promo items to, the more people will keep them and display them in their homes, offices and shops, showcasing your brand!

3. Calendars are Small and Lightweight

Paper calendars are easy to mail because of their shape and size, and they’re small and lightweight enough that they can be added to a customer’s shopping bag or packaged order as a ‘thank you’ token.

4. Calendars are Highly Visible

Next time you go into your doctors or dentist’s office, a classroom, an office building or even a friend’s house, take note of whether they have a wall calendar. You’ll notice that many of them do, and that you’re exposed to them all the time without even realizing it! Calendars are far from obsolete, most people simply enjoy having the date (or sometimes, their schedule) displayed in a highly visible place that they can easily see every morning. And because it’s easy for them to see, it’s probably easy for you to see too, as a guest, customer, patient, or colleague.

5. Calendars Serve as Constant Brand Reminders

Whether we use them to keep up with the date, remember important birthdays and holidays, or manage our own schedules, calendars are a staple in most of our lives. If we’re using a branded calendar, that means that every day when we look at our schedules, we’re also being reminded of the business or individual who gave us that calendar. Even if we were not previously aware of that business or brand, we will instantly recognize them next time we see their logo or drive by their store front. This sense of familiarity may even make us more likely to do business with that company!
