Many people would be surprised to learn that paper calendars are not just surviving—but thriving—even in the age of smartphones and the internet. Sales of paper planners, appointment books and calendars went up substantially as recently as 2016. What’s more, according to the Advertising Specialty Institute® (PDF), consumers will usually hold on to a promotional calendar all 12 months of the year, with 76 percent of consumers displaying them prominently in their offices or homes.
What does this mean? Unique promotional calendars are a great way to get eyes on your brand.
