Creating a custom calendar is a fantastic way to promote your business services, employees, or just your favorites memories. This guide will help provide you with a better understanding of the many options available to you.
Decide on the Style of Calendar
The first step is choosing a style that best fits your needs. The specific style will influence the design, budget, and overall goal of the project.
Wall Calendars: A classic choice that is great for displaying large images. Perfect for color photos, showcasing artwork, or corporate branding. They offer a large amount of real estate for your design ideas and are easy to hang and use. You can choose various stock choices or layouts, such as one or two-sided.
Desk Calendars: They can be large or small depending on your needs. Larger calendars are popular for those with desks providing more space for writing notes, but smaller ones have their place as well. The smaller footprint can make them more practical for a user to keep on their desk and are a constant reminder of your brand or message.
Other Options: Of course you aren’t limited to just those two. Cascade Print Media can do self-standing flip calendars, tear off daily calendars, or even large entire year at a glance poster options.
Here’s a more detailed overview of some of the above options
Desk Calendars
These are a classic choice for a reason. They’re a must-have to help keep you organized and your schedule in check. Whether you’re working from home or an office, it’s a practical, accessible, and efficient way to help organize your workspace while also showing off your company’s branding needs.
They can also be produced with a standing foot or even as a daily tear off piece if desired.
Hanging Calendars
Familiar to everyone, these double-sided wall calendars let you display a full-page image above the monthly grid below. This offers plenty of room to jot down appointments, notes or just reminders. The full header page is a great way to highlight your companies’ services, mission statements, local attractions, or anything else you want to design and add.
Usually bound with staples, they can also be assembled with coil that provides a more luxe look. If you prefer a more streamlined choice, you can make the date pages one-sided and tear off. Either choice allows for the personalized options you want.
Oversized Calendars
If the desk calendars just aren’t big enough, Cascade Print Media can turn them into large wall posters. Why view just one month if you need to be able to see the entire year at a glance?
Often seen in use by freight or logistic companies, they allow you to easily highlight or block out events or dates that are important to your company so the entire team can quickly see what upcoming events need to be kept in mind.
