To ensure that you’re going to get the most out of your calendar here are a few things you should consider.

Paper

As a general rule, the cover of your business calendar should be thicker than the rest of it. Most companies put their logo, or motto on the front of the calendar, but I recommend putting a motivating quote on there. If you want to make the most out of it why not use it to invigorate your staff?  For the inside of your calendar I recommend paper that is only slightly less thick than your cover sheet. A thicker, glossier calendar feels like a more quality product.  It’s also a good idea to use colour in your calendar that promotes productivity. Colours like blue, green and yellow are all said to have beneficial effects on productivity.

Size

Secondly you should consider where the calendar is going to go, and how big it’ll need to be. The larger the calendar the easier it’ll be to read. Some businesses choose to buy lots of calendars and distribute them to staff members who can then place them on their desks. This means that all staff members can organise their time effectively and improve the efficiency of the business.

Template

Once you have decided on the size and type of paper you’re going to use then it’s time to start looking through templates. You’re going to want your calendar to look great, and more importantly, be functional. There are lots of templates online that you can sift through so have a browse and find one that’s right for you. If you’re printing more than one calendar I recommend printing a proof copy off so that you can see how it looks and if there any changes that need to be made.

Printing

When it comes to the final print you shouldn’t compromise on quality. Quality printing shows employees that you’re committed to offering good, sturdy and useful items to help them work. http://www.thecalendarcompany.org offer great printing at competitive prices.
