Promotional Magnetic Calendars

Spread the word about your company with custom magnetic calendars

Custom magnetic calendars are an effective tool for reminding people of your company with a functional, attractive gift from your business. Customers and clients will be glad to receive something they can actually use, and you'll rest easy knowing your logo and contact information are in a prominent place in the home.

Magnet calendars come in several different forms, from plain rectangular 12-month calendars to calendars that punch out from larger cards or have notepads or message boards attached. Selecting from among the many types of calendars is mainly an issue of style and cost.

When shopping for promotional magnet calendars for your business or organization, remember to:

1. Look for manufacturers who can give you design services and proofs to know what your product will look like.
2. Decide how you want to distribute your promotional calendars and whether or not you'll be mailing them.
3. Check out a wide range of options to see the types of magnet calendars from which you have to choose.
4. Look for special features such as a message board or notepad that give your magnetic calendar that extra edge.

Make your magnetic calendar manufacturer work for you

Many manufacturers of business promotional items also can offer design services, either for a small fee or with the fee included in the price of your order.

Consider distribution methods for your personalized magnetic calendar

If you plan to mail your personalized calendar magnets to customers, consider the time of year you'll be mailing and if you'll need the calendar to fit in an envelope. Other distribution methods to consider are including your promotional magnetic calendars in merchandise bags at the cash register or simply displaying them on a counter at your place of business for customers to pick up.

Shop the full spectrum of magnet calendars

Custom magnet calendars come in many shapes and sizes--maybe even in some designs you'd never considered. Look at some comparisons to check costs and features of a wide range of promotional products.

Give your promotional calendars that special something extra

Notepads, message boards and cut-out shapes are ways to make your magnet calendar stand out and make your promotion even more functional.

• Plan ahead when ordering calendar magnets. Most manufacturers will agree to make personalized calendar magnets well in advance of the calendar year you need printed, but make sure that you order magnets for the upcoming year by July or August to have plenty of time for distribution.
