Keep reading to understand.
How to Create Custom Calendars
To help you with this task, we have created a small list that you can use as a checklist to plan your calendars. Check it out below.
- Think About the Theme
For the end result to be harmonious and cohesive – and still be effective as a marketing tool – you need the right theme. Think of options that have to do with your business, that are current and still not very trendy. That’s because this type of theme can get dated in a material that is made to be used for an entire year, right?
If you have a supermarket, health food store or even a restaurant, recipes for each month can be a good option. If you own a bookstore, think about book suggestions. If you have a mechanic shop, maybe images of classic cars accompanied by fun facts about them will be interesting.
- Images
If you already have (or can make) images of your products to illustrate the calendar, great! Let’s say you have a flower shop – you can use the images of plants and flowers that you have available at each time of year. The same goes for the restaurant example – if you have pictures of the dishes, perfect! If not, you can use image banks (both free and paid, which usually have more options). What matters is that they are beautiful images with good resolution, so that the print is clear.
- Texts
As much as the images here are the protagonists, it is important to think about the texts that will accompany them. Avoid large blocks of text that can be difficult to read and are easily skipped and focus on what matters, your topic. In other words, there can be recipes, curiosities, small excerpts from books… Also pay attention to the colors used, especially if the text is on top of the images (avoid combinations that don’t have much contrast, which can be difficult to read).
- Be Helpful
Yes, a calendar by itself is already a useful material, right? But you can add even more simple items that help make everyone’s life easier – a To Do List area, for example, list of national holidays and even coupons for seasonal promotions are good ideas of what to include.
