Why create a Calendar?

Whether it’s for corporate gifting, Christmas presents for friends and family or for resale, we’ll walk you through how to create your ideal design. At Graphix, we make Calendar printing easy; whether you’re looking for Wall Calendars or Desktop Calendars we’ve got you covered.

Calendars are a great way to keep your brand front of mind all year long. The best part is, that almost everyone needs one – sure, technology has meant that a lot of our diaries are now online, but nothing beats putting pen to paper.
To get started, it’s important to decide on the type of Calendar you’re interested in. We have a whole range to explore so let’s take a closer look at some of your options.

Desktop Calendars

Whether you work from home or in the office, no workspace is complete without a Desktop Calendar. Luckily, we have templates for all our Calendar types, so getting started is just a bit easier.
When it comes to the design, you could fill each page of your Calendar with the standard grid of 30+ days or shrink this element and use half the space for an image, or even a ‘to-do list’.
All our Desktop Calendar options are finished with a strong wire binding and have a thick cardboard support to make sure that it keeps its shape no matter what your work life throws at it.

Wall Calendars

Wall Calendars are a great option if you’ve got photos you want to show off throughout the year. By opting for a Wall Calendar you can display a full-colour printed photo on the top page with your months on a separate page below. This allows plenty of space to write in appointments.

Creating your Calendar design

Once you’ve decided on the purpose of your Calendar, you need to think about how it’ll look. Depending on who you are, your design will have different needs. For example, if you’re creating corporate Calendars to give out to clients and customers, you’ll want to make sure that your branding is front of mind and on every page. So be sure to include on every spread:

  1. Your logo
  2. Your brand colours
  3. An inspiring image or quote that relates to your business

 

Include important dates

You’ll want to do a bit of research around which important dates are relevant to your customers. You might want to include Christmas and all the important public holidays (because everyone wants to know when they’re getting a day off!) but what else might you need to consider?

  1. If you’re creating a Calendar for education, think about term dates.
  2. Creating a business design? Think about important events related to yours, like promotions and trade shows.
  3. If you’re a charity, why not include important events that you run throughout the year.
  4. If you’re creating for resale, have a think about your audience. Would they find it beneficial to know about events such as Black Friday?
  5. If you’re in the hospitality sector, why not include your key sale dates or international food days! International Coffee Day is on the 1st of October…take note.
