Calendars Are Still Alive!

I know, I know, a shocking proclamation to make, right? In this, the Digital Age, where all things are convenient and literally within hand’s reach (hello, handy dandy iPhone!), why do we really need desk or wall calendars? Well, truthfully, I put some thought into this. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I do enjoy my dry erase board calendar at home. It’s nice to be able to just look up without scrolling through countless apps to find a date on my calendar (and that’s if I don’t get distracted by Twitter in the process) to see when bills are due, birthdays are taking place, or when that term paper deadline is creeping up. Consider this: How many times have you been on your mobile phone arranging plans, and suddenly you’re not sure if you’ve already got something scheduled that night? Now you have to put your friend on speakerphone and, in a hostage negotiation-like situation, and carefully pan through your screen trying to find your calendar while not hanging up on them!

Okay, so it’s probably not that bad, but it’s still an annoyance. But let’s face it. In this age of ever-changing technology, the printed calendar is still here.  Among survey recipients, 82% revealed they enjoyed receiving calendars as complimentary gifts, whereas 74% of recipients remember the name of the company that gave them a calendar.

But come what may, it’s a new year, and you need a new calendar to stay informed and organized. The funny thing is, the calendar, whether paper or digital, still hasn’t changed that much, but we can certainly make them stylish and appealing to any industry! full-color-printed-stick-up-calendar

 There is the ever so classic wall calendar if you enjoy the span-the-year, conquering-one-day-at-a-time sort of feeling. If you’re more the motivational calendar type, we have those too! Dog person? Cat person? We have a calendar for that! (Think of it as an app, whatever it is, there’s one for it.) Want a small mailer piece to send to your customers at a low quantity? The Press-N-Stick calendar is perfect! Lightweight and small enough to fit in a regular envelope, it’s a great way to make sure you remain on their fridge, office wall, or anywhere else for easy access to your place of business contact information.

I could go on all day about this. (No, seriously, I could. In fact by the time I’m done you would need a new calendar.) But I won’t. Give us a call at 888-253-5800 to get started on stocking (or re-stocking) your calendar supply today!
