School Calendars As A Fund Raiser
Everyone has need of a calendar at some point in time. This is probably why schools that are looking to hold a fund raiser are turning more and more to calendars. Unlike candy, calendars are calorie free. A calendar is something you can really use, unlike some of the trinkets that have been offered in the past at school fun raisers. Calendars are infinitely practical!
Think of all the different calendars you have seen. They come in hundreds of designs, and some of the photos included on these calendars are absolutely breathtaking. Most calendars also have other information, and a school calendar should be no exception. Parents and other family members of the students would appreciate having customized information that is relevant to the school and the children included on the calendar. Information such as sports schedules and school bus routes for the year, school holidays and lunch menus for each month, names and telephone numbers of school personnel, and perhaps even a list of frequently used and emergency numbers for your city. Every family involved with the school will want one of these calendars!
Before you decide on a calendar printing company to print your school calendars, another decision needs to be made. What kind of photos or pictures are going to be on the calendars? Most printing companies have a wide selection of stock photos for you to choose from, and many of these are really beautiful. However, if you want a calendar that will really sell to all the patrons of your school, consider one with pictures that have been drawn by the students. You’ll find that this is an extremely popular choice. You may want to consider an art contest among the students in order to have not only a little healthy competition, but also some great pictures.
Depending on the ages of the students involved, you could also tailor the calendar to suit their tastes. Images from video games, cartoons, television, movies, or celebrities would make your calendars very popular with young people.
Designing a Calendar to Promote Your Business
Wouldn’t it be nice to have the ability to promote your business all year long with just one initial investment? You can, you know! Those who have been a part of the business world for a long time know and each year count on the fact that giving out a nice promotional calendar to their customers is a wonderful way for them to keep their business name in a place where people will see it year round!
There aren’t many people who can’t make good use of a calendar. You’ll find that not only will people be quite happy to accept a free calendar from you, they make ask if they can have one or two extra! People usually put calendars in more than one place in their homes, like the kitchen, the office/den, perhaps even the bedroom.
Once they have put their copy of your calendar in place, it will stay there for a year, and will more than likely be consulted quite frequently – perhaps even on a daily basis. For the money you will spend on having a batch of calendars printed, you cannot get a better form of advertising! Compare what you will pay for these calendars with what you may have paid a few months ago for another type of advertising that maybe was read one time, and then discarded.
A custom calendar designed for your business is a great marketing tool. But, don’t settle for one of those pre-printed calendars that will have your information over-printed on the bottom! You want your own custom designed calendar! You will find that the
calendar printing service you receive from Dark Horse Print and Design has talented design teams as well as print teams that will help you to design a calendar that will be absolutely perfect for you!
