How to make your own business calendar

Businesses and charities can use calenders to raise awareness of their businesses or to highlight their work. These calendars can range from expensive high quality products all the way to simply products put out to support people and add another stream of advertising to a product range. These can be ordered from various places online and printed to a very good quality. Read on.

Overview

Depending on what the purpose of the printed calendar will ultimately be, there are a few options that can be chosen to print the calendars. There are various websites that companies can use to print them and some of these services will print a selection of them for free. It is a good approach, if you are trying to get promotional advertising for a new business, or charity event. If the funding is available, then you might want to look at higher quality companies as they will be able to provide more options and perhaps a higher quality product.

Promotional

Promotional calendars are a great way of launching a company, especially if it is a company that relies on good time-keeping. Companies such as Vistaprint offer a large selection of templates for business calendars and they offer wall calendars for free with desk calendars available at a low cost, around £3 as of 01.08.11. Other sites offer similar products, but they don’t all offer a free sample. Most of these sites will require you to send them the pictures that you want to use, so make sure that the images will work in a variety of sizes depending on the size which will be ultimately chosen.

Charity

Charities can get many publicity from calendars and again, most sites will be able to use pictures that you provide, so you can tailor the product directly to your needs. Sites such as The-calendar-printers offer products ranging from £12.99 for a single calendar through to a bulk cost of £1.45 per calendar for 1000, all prices quoted are accurate as of 01.08.11. This should mean that if the product is of a high enough quality, then charities will be able to make a profit off them. There are many different companies out there, so it is worth shopping around to see what bulk prices they can get.
