Custom branded desk calendars: A timeless tool for business marketing

In the ever-evolving marketing world, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when choosing a product to promote your brand. While many companies seem to rely on expensive items, we believe that simple, everyday tools such as custom branded desk calendars are a far better option when it comes to attracting a wider audience.

At first glance, this choice appears basic. But, with the right customisation options, you can truly make these calendars your own!

Why choose printed desk calendars

Considering the vast variety of promotional products available today, it’s easy to wonder what sets calendars apart from the rest. Here are a few things to take into account.

Fantastic visibility
The main purpose of any promotional product is to increase your brand’s visibility, which is precisely what these budget friendly desk calendars do! Many other promotional giveaways are usually forgotten or tucked away in a drawer, whereas desk calendars offer a year-long reminder of your brand and important message.

Functionality
Nowadays, everyone has a calendar on their phone. Although this can come in useful when we’re on the go, the fact remains that owning a physical calendar comes with its advantages. For starters, they’re far more practical to use in an office setting. Furthermore, people appreciate having one at arm’s reach whenever they need to check their schedule or set up a meeting.

Where can you distribute promotional desk calendars?

Since promotional desk calendars are pretty lightweight, they’re quite easy to distribute wherever you go. Here are some of the best places to give them out.

Trade shows, conventions and conferences
Typically, brands will hand out business cards at events such as trade shows, conventions and conferences. But that’s exactly why you need to step up! Instead of choosing the generic route, bring along your custom-branded calendars. People will appreciate the gift, and they’ll be even happier that it’s something they can use daily!

Corporate giveaways
Your employees are your most valuable asset. That is why it’s essential to make them feel appreciated. A desk calendar will not only come in useful, but it will also instil a sense of community within the workplace. The same goes for your clients. The best time to give out these calendars is during the holiday season. By doing so, you’ll ensure that your brand’s name sits on their desk throughout the entire year offering an amazing ROI.

Who can benefit from custom branded desk calendars

If you’re wondering who can benefit from choosing desk calendars for their marketing strategy, here are some examples to consider.

Local businesses
Plenty of local businesses, such as restaurants, barber shops, cafes and bakeries, can make good use of desk calendars. By giving them away to loyal clientele, often along with some printed pens, they can easily ensure that their customers keep coming back.

Estate agencies
Estate agencies have been using calendars to promote their business for quite some time now. Now, they can customise the pages to feature gorgeous homes and their company logo.

Financial institutions
Financial institutions, banks and accountancies could greatly benefit from these calendars, as they would remind their clients of their fiscal responsibilities while promoting their brand at the same time.

Educational institutions
Schools, colleges and universities can give out desk calendars to students and faculty members to foster a sense of community. Additionally, staff members are always happy to receive gifts for their hard work and dedication.
