6 Eye-Catching Ideas for Calendar Refrigerator Magnets

According to a study by Promotional Products Association International (PPAI), 79% of people surveyed responded that they like to receive calendar refrigerator magnets as promotional gifts or premiums. Calendar magnets are also extremely affordable, so choosing calendar magnets for your upcoming marketing campaign will not only be a promotional strategy that your customers and supporters enjoy but one that has the potential to pay you back in a big way. Not sure which kind of magnet would be right for you? We have plenty of magnetic calendar ideas to inspire you.

Unique Magnet Shapes

A calendar magnet doesn't have to be a simple rectangle. Choosing unique magnet shapes that still have enough room for each month of the year will help your calendar magnets stand out from the crowd on any refrigerator. For example, there are house-shaped calendar magnets with chimneys and steeped roofs to lend an extra element of charm to your advertising. Simply print all the dates in the middle and add any other information about your business to the "basement" section for an eye-catching, useful design!

Photo Frame Magnets

One of our favorite calendar magnets has multiple uses. With magnetic photo frames, you can easily pop out the center portion of the magnet with the calendar information printed on it and like magic, you're left with a magnetic frame that's perfect for holding standard 5x7 photos. Your customers and supporters will see your brand name in two separate places where they regularly see your brand name: on the frame and on the calendar. Photo frame magnets are a great way to solidify your brand presence in homes, schools and workplaces everywhere!

Paper Calendar Magnets

If you want to offer a new twist on a traditional calendar, you can offer your clients a paper calendar with a magnetic top. Each month has its own sheet that can be torn away to reveal the next. When the year is through, your customers can hold onto their refrigerator magnets or use updated ones that you send out as part of an ongoing campaign.

Spirit Magnets

Show pride in your community or your country with school year calendar magnets or calendar magnets with patriotic images as your backdrop. If you're a school handing out calendar refrigerator magnets, it's a great idea to color code dates when school is out or when big games are happening (if the magnets will be in support of a sports team). Show off your USA pride by having red, white and blue as your color scheme. It is always a great choice that people will be proud to display on their refrigerators.

Photo Magnets

Photography is one of our favorite calendar magnet ideas because of the amount of flexibility it affords designers. It’s a great idea to use a photo that speaks to your products, services or company values. For your photo calendar magnets, you could use a picture of your team, a photo of your products or even a panoramic shot of your city's skyline. Choose a great photo for your magnet and people will be proud to put on display!

Modern & Chic Magnets

People are more likely to display a refrigerator magnet front and center if the design is aesthetically pleasing. When looking for magnetic calendar ideas, take inspiration from simple, modern designs and patterns. These chic magnet styles will not only be appealing to your customers and supporters, but will give a better impression of the high-quality products and services your company stands for. Choose complementary colors (like purple and yellow), classic combinations (like navy blue and gold) or a color and a neutral (like green and white or cream). You can also look up elegant patterns like line vectors, chevron or florals
