4 Simple Reasons to Promote with Calendars

November 13, 2014

Promotional Calendars are literally a billboard for your message. Did you know that 70% of logo product sales are made up of promotionalScenic Treasures Business Calendar calendars? So… what does that mean? It means that 70% of businesses who’re incorporating logo products into their marketing mix are using advertising promotional calendars. It also means that your competitors are likely using these powerful little marketing tools.

With that being said, it is TIME to think about promotional calendars. The year is coming to a close, and it’s time to think about how you can thank your customers for this year’s business.

Timely…

There is no gift or product that is timelier at the year-end than the promotional calendars. Your customer’s 2013 calendars are about to expire. Plans for next year are already in the works! A new calendar is sought-after, appreciated and put to good use immediately at home or work (or both)! People know EXACTLY who gave them their calendar last year… did it come from you? It should!

Personal…

Calendar advertising is the definition of personal advertising. Whether distributed in person or by mail, the advertising calendar is referred to daily, multiple times becoming an integral part of the recipient’s life. We offer many logo products to select from, but promotional calendars are the ONLY ones that are in your customer’s lives 365-24-7.

Engaging…

People always respond favorably when they’re presented with a product they deem valuable. They’re engaged from the START. You’re the advertiser, and you’re getting the opportunity to “engage” with your recipient every time the calendar is used.

Shareable…

Promotional Calendars are seen and tell YOUR story to numerous people every day – family, friends, guests, colleagues, and more. The calendar constantly tells people about who YOU are, where YOU can be found and the products or services YOU offer.

If you haven’t incorporated calendars into your quality logo product stash, now is the time to do it!
