Throughout the year, many different organizations run fundraisers. These organizations can be schools, clubs, small businesses, and volunteer programs. But not all fundraisers have to be the same. Creating custom calendars can allow you to show off your personality and prove why you stand out from your rivals!
Getting Starting
You will have to find the right vendor to partner with to ensure that your custom calendars look their best. After all, getting the best value for your money will allow you to produce much larger print runs than other clubs and organizations might be doing with their money. The quality of the paper and photo stock all make a difference, too, so don’t hesitate to shop around until you find your ideal vendor partner. Plus, you might get some deep discounts that you didn’t expect!
Adding Photos
If a custom calendar doesn’t have high-quality images in it, then it will lack pizzazz. That’s why you need to prioritize collecting the best photos to fit the theme of your new fundraiser. The images should be horizontal and high-resolution. Strike a balance between variety and simplicity, since a collage makes for a gorgeous and eye-catching cover design.
Designing the Calendar
Now let’s get down to the fundamentals of creating your custom calendar. Different months should have different pictures to help keep it interesting. Also, try to capitalize on something each month is known for and that your audience will cherish and remember fondly, especially for smaller communities that are more tightly-knit.
Highlighting Important Dates
You can’t forget to spotlight important dates spread throughout the year. Easter and Christmas are two of the most special days you can include on your calendar. But for some companies, you will want to mark anniversaries of the company’s creation or other milestones that prove you can outlast your competitors. Concerts and dates such as the end of the marking period can also be useful inclusions for educational institutions or community musical groups. It’s not too late to start selling the calendars! Although October is the ideal month in which to begin offering these items, there are still ways to market your wares. Take advantage of promotion through social media, newspapers, radio ads, flyers, and bulletin boards!
