How would you like to have two feet of real estate in your customers’ offices, quite possibly two feet away from their desk?…Yes, this is possible!… with calendars.

We may be a mobile society, but calendars are not dead. We like to remind our clients that industry staples are top sellers for a reason — if you tried to tape your business card to their wall, they would probably call you crazy. The average office calendar is viewed from 5 to 13 times a day, 365 days a year.

By the way, if I asked you to tell me what business gave you the calendar in your office (without looking!), most people can recall the advertiser that supplied them with the calendar! More importantly, 83% of businesses purchase the products or services of the advertiser that supplied them with the calendar. Don’t be limited by traditional wall calendars. We have creative ideas to reach your clients and gain valuable real estate in their offices or on their desks!

Start your year off right and make sure your brand is positioned strategically with your customers and prospects.
