2010 CALENDAR DESIGN INFORMATION

We are flexible to meet your needs:

We can design a card or calendar based on
our stock images or your own images & logo .
We can add the calendar text for your custom layout needs
and/or prepare your files for offset printing
Or you supply all the digital files(PDF preferred) and we will print it.
Turn-around time (from proof approval):
usually one week including shipping. Shipping upgrades available.
Samples available by Priority Mail on request
Cards are printed on 14pt heavy card stock, and there's no charge for Aqueous Coating (glossy) both sides. Full color & Full bleeds both sides.
Our offset printer vendor does a gorgeous job! Very professional.
Custom layout is by the hour; stock photos are by the photo.

Tips:

Select a compelling image that people will WANT to hang on their office walls (or "refrigerator"). Reds and yellows stand out.
Often nature (flowers especially) are a good pick, or something interesting from your products or services
The images would need to be 300dpi (high resolution) for proper printing. We're happy to help you select.
Pick a contrasting background so that aside from the calendar function, people's eyes will be pulled to look at the image (and your name/logo!)
Print extra to hand out as "business cards" throughout the year; offer to clients and colleagues to have stacks for handing out in their offices
Mail as a postcard - if in an envelope, people may not open the envelope.
Simplest is usually the best: calendar with main image on one side, additional images and messages on the reverse.
If you're including a holiday greeting, we suggest to put that on the back - often people don't want to stare all year at a "dated" Happy New Year message when looking at the calendar all year.

Over the top:

Consider a "poster" calendar - a unique image with contemporary styled calendar - hangs on the wall to demand attention! Economical Sizes up to 24x36" - available quick turn-around also.

Some clients request smaller quantities. We encourage you to consider placing stacks of cards out (in your offices, as well as clients), and sending multiple cards to offices with multiple employees - some may want to take them home or give to other colleagues - if you pick a compelling image that people would want to look at year-round, your card could "go viral" and you'd use up your 500 and more.
