Get a Head Get started on 2014 Promotions With UPrinting’s Calendars

Why Print Calendars This Early?

The last quarter of the year is almost always the busiest, particularly for the businesses catering to the consumer market. With the holidays just a few weeks away, many businesses are working overtime on their promotional campaigns.

This is also a pretty busy time for UPrinting, as the demand for promotional materials such as flyers, brochures, posters, postcards, and stickers among other things, peaks a great deal around this time.

Orders for calendars in particular, increase sharply during this period – for very good reasons. New Year’s Day is less than three months away, and the flurry of holidays preceding it offer plenty of opportunity to set the foundations for the incoming year’s marketing efforts.

Other reasons to include calendars in your next promotions campaigns:

3.) Calendars Add Value to Your Promotions

Since they have a specific function that nearly everyone needs, calendars give your customers a reason to want what you offer. Unlike most other promotional print products, calendars provide an intrinsic reason to keep them. Other promotional items like postcards or keychains, tend to quickly become obsolete or fall into disuse.

Because of this functionality, even calendars that customers might not like all that much for aesthetics or branding may still get a shot at being used.

2.) Calendars are Prominently Displayed

Unlike other promotional items that only get sporadically exposed – such as business cards or brochures, calendars are normally attached to areas where they are readily seen. This naturally leaves a better chance of leaving brand impressions, especially when you distribute them to other businesses.

1.) Calendars Can Give a Year’s Worth of Brand Impressions!

Once someone puts up a calendar, they rarely take them down before the year is done. If you’re lucky, they won’t even do that and just leave them where they are after the year’s over. This means your customers will be actively exposed to your brand for a significant amount of time. Most other print promotions have a much shorter obsolescence period, and are rarely as prominently displayed.

Including calendars in your holiday promotions campaigns is more than just putting your foot in the door – it’s about being a small, but visible part of your customer’s life.
