May 11, 2015 by Jim Braaten · Leave a Comment
It might be easy to conclude how the heyday for printed calendars of all types has come and gone. Indeed, some might suspect that a paper calendar has become a relic from our past. No longer necessary. No longer a critical element of our busy 21st Century world. Relegated to mere novelty status for most businesses and households.
Wrong!
Truth is paper calendars have seen some decline in production numbers, but they are still very vital to many users and found in nearly every home and office. Even though calendars on our phones, tablets and computers can be linked and provide a very sophisticated planning system, the fact remains nothing beats the simplicity of a printed wall or desk calendar so they still get used.
Some industry studies have indicated that it will take another generation of calendar users to fully convert to electronic. Even at that, printed calendars will always be a trendy item hearkening back to the non-electronic age.
We specialize in calendars sold to promote your important message. When they are given to clients or prospects they are a gift that has year-long promotional value. Our customers find that money spent on calendar advertising is just as effective today as it was several decades ago.
Best of all…our calendars do not need customer login information with passwords. They are not dependent on batteries that are likely to go dead when you need them most. They do not get hacked by thieves trying to disrupt your life by interfering with it.
Nope, a good printed calendar has benefits that have been appreciated for centuries, not just a handful of modern day years.
The next time you are wondering if printed promotional advertising calendars still have a legitimate existence in this world don’t doubt it for a moment. While you may end up using several different calendar apps over the course of years to discover what you like best, the simplicity of a wall calendar for everyone to see and understand cannot be beaten.
Indeed, it is exciting times to be living in a world where our phones can seemingly do almost everything in our lives. Yet, a quick glance at a printed calendar hanging 3 feet from your face to look at an important date for planning will almost always beat the electronic device in your purse or pocket. Don’t give up on printed calendars quite yet. Our customers certainly haven’t.
