Promotional Calendars…

… Still a very popular gift and great promotional item

Calendars help people organise busy social and business lives. For a whole year they’re sat on someone’s desk or affixed to a wall in a prominent position, meaning that branded messages and logos are being absorbed on a daily basis.

There are lots to choose from – large, small, desk, wall-mounted, flat, stand-up, plus various branding options and printing methods.

Our favourite:

The personalised desk calendar is a gift we give to clients each year, it allows individual clients names to be added on each monhtly image and with over 600 Images to choose your sure to find a theme to suit.

Each page can also be totally bespoke allowing the design to feature a specific event date or birthday on each month.

Something new:

At this year’s World Calendar Awards, the 360 interactive calendar scooped gold for ‘Most Original Wall Calendar’.  – having previously won ‘Best Corporate Stock Contemporary / Innovative Calendar’ at the 2017 National Calendar Awards.

As well as stunning panoramic images, the 360 calendar also displays a QR code on each month, from which users can access an incredible photosphere of the shown location. Check out the promotional video

Plans to include VR functionality will be added for next year, with branded virtual reality headsets available as an optional extra.

The photospheres can be navigated by touch on a smartphone or tablet, letting users explore scenes from all aspects, meaning repeated engagement with the product.

Interest in 360 interactive has been extremely high according to the manufactuer, it really is marriage of a traditional paper product using technology to attract a new generation of calendar buyers.

An advent alternative:

Promotional Advent calendars with  little chocolate treats are proving very popular again this year , but it’s the  the beauty advent calendar seen in retail that truly stealing the show, it will be seen everywhere in the high streer and is the must have consumer gift .  Yet to be seen as a promotional product, but as we always say anything’s possible.

Arcadia has a fantastic range of brandable calendars and many other promotional gifts and ideas for 2018.
