How do I make a calendar?
Your calendar might be a wiro bound wall or desk calendar with a page per month or come as a flat poster or sheet with one or two sides. For a page a day choose a perfect bound calendar where people can tear off each page as the date passes. You might use a folded leaflet or choose a calendar in the form of a folded card that sits on a desk. Some businesses use the cover or a page of a booklet or brochure. You can have your calendar your way.
What should I put on a calendar?
Your logo and branding is a must as are contact details. If you’re going for a large photographic calendar you can use striking, funny or dramatic images. (If you do use photos make sure they’re 300 dpi at the size they’ll appear). You can highlight a particular product or service on each page or have a different saying, joke or quiz question for each day or month.
Highlight important dates
Highlight dates that are relevant to your business. Add details of events and trade shows, promotions or sales. If you’re a charity include events you support like fun runs or concerts. If you’re in hospitality or supplying that sector include key dates like St Patrick’s Day and other holidays. Make your calendar as useful to the end user as possible.
