In addition to the same features as our standard size tear off calendars, here are some of the other amazing highlights our jumbo calendar pads offer:

• They double as mini yearly planners with room to mark doctor’s appointments or dates to remember.
• Our regular jumbo version features room for important notes. While the back side of the calendar pages on our jumbo recipe calendars tear off and fold in half to create 5.125” x 3.375” keepsake recipe cards.

When Is the Best Time to Order?

Planning ahead is crucial for making that first of the year impact. So, when is the best time to order?
 
Our promotional tear-off calendars are popular throughout the year. We even have some clients that gift them after the New Year. However, we typically find that mailing out your calendars so they are received between the week after Thanksgiving and just before Christmas has the biggest effect. Early delivery also gives you a chance to connect with potential clients before anyone else has the opportunity.
 
To ensure timely in-house production of your marketing materials, and to account for unpredictable mail delivery, we recommend that you place your order with us by the end of October for the best customer experience.
 
Did you miss your marketing deadline to send out a full year calendar? No problem! We also offer mid-year calendars so you can still come out ahead!

How Else Can I Use Calendars for Marketing?

While direct mail is a great way to get our tear off calendar magnets into the hands of customers, it’s not always an option when trying to reach prospective clients for whom you don’t have contact information. If you’re looking to advertise your services in person, then here are some great ideas for distribution:

• Let’s face it. Business cards, like email, tend to get easily lost in the shuffle of day-to-day life. Rather than hand out business cards at your open house to generate leads, gift these calendars instead. They also make a great handout at a front reception desk as well as at conventions and trade shows.
• Network with other local businesses for increased exposure to more people. Ask your community coffee shop, gym, or barber shop if they’re willing to set out your marketing materials for their customers. You can also offer them to people you may interact with in these areas on a regular basis.
• Don’t be afraid to reach out to people you know personally. While your mail carrier or children’s soccer coach may not be current clients, you won’t know if they’re interested if you don’t ask! Give them a themed tear off calendar for their enjoyment and see where it takes you.
• Keep extras in your car. Just like a business card, these products contain all your contact information – but with a bonus! Having additional calendars on hand are a great way to make a first impression with those you may randomly meet while conducting day-to-day business or shopping for groceries.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Still not sure about ordering? Here’s just a small sample of some of the positive feedback we’ve received on using promotional calendars as a marketing tool:

• For the past three years, with so tough a market, I would not have done as well as I have without the Refrigerator Calendars. Thank you Magnets USA for such innovative Calendars. They make my job as a Realtor, easier and more profitable. – Nanci W.
• I was starting to wonder if all the Magnetic Calendars I had been giving out each year were worth the effort. I recently closed a property and afterward the client said, ‘see what 15 years of sending someone a calendar can do?’ I guess that answers my question closing just one house pays for many, many years of sending Calendars. – Doug B.
• I anticipate eight to 10 listings from our mail-out over the year. From experience, we know not all calendars are the same quality. Yours are the best. For the money, this is the most effective marketing tool we use. – David R.
• These calendars really work! I recently received an email from a young man requesting my assistance in finding his first home. When I asked if someone had referred him to me, his reply was, 'I know who you are, because your picture and calendar have been on my mom and dad's fridge since I was a little kid!' This same scenario has repeated itself over the past few years.  After sending out calendars for over 20 years to my sphere of influence, they have been my best spent dollars in advertising and keeping in touch. – Pam S.
• Our real estate company has been ordering magnetic holiday calendars from Magnets USA for over 21 years. Each year the process gets easier because our representative is so helpful and completely knows her products and her clients' needs. If I have a question or a late order, our representative just handles it. – Karen D.
• I send or hand out 400 pieces every year, and get calls and sales from my calendar mailings.  I use them to keep in touch with clients and friends, but mostly I farm certain neighborhoods.  I have received many calls from these calendars and have people come up and talk to me because they want to thank me for the calendar and the recipes.  What an easy and efficient marketing tool! – Fred L.
• I have been a Realtor for over 40 years in the Colorado Springs area. I have always used Magnets USA products to keep in touch with my client base. My husband and I relocated to the Durango, CO area in 2009 and I put my Real Estate license on ice for 2.5 years. Upon returning to the area, I took the required courses to activate my license and started selling again in the area. I had little success the first few months. Then I received my personalized magnetic calendars from your company in December of 2014. I sent out 150-200 to my past clients and personal contacts. I actually mailed them on Christmas eve, December 24th. I received a phone call the first week of January from a previous client that had done several transactions in the past and he said: " I'm SO GLAD you're back. I started doing Fix and Flips 2 years ago, and I do not care for the Realtor I have been using. Will you please work with me to acquire distressed properties and then sell them for me?" I have been back in business for 7 years and received recognition in my office this January for the most listings by a Single Agent in our office of around 50 agents! I typically order Calendars, Baseball Schedules and Football Schedules. It's advertising money well spent. - Jackie Pierce Eaton
• I have been ordering from Magnets USA for as long as I have been in the business, and I will continue to do so until I retire. My clients love the tear-off calendars that I send out every year, when it gets close to the holidays, I start receiving calls inquiring about whether I will send them each year, and I always say yes! The covers are beautiful, and the quality is excellent. I recently ordered the Learn, Live, Hope notepads and have gotten an extremely positive response from them, more so than I was expecting. These are definitely a winner. - Nina Cimini
