Make Your Message Stick with Calendar Magnets!

How Magnetic Calendars Can Help Your Business

We all know that having a well-organized calendar can make life easier for any busy adult. From keeping track of work meetings to having a reminder to take care of that dreaded weekend errand, calendars are essential for helping people stay productive and prepared for any event. Since they are inexpensive to make and beneficial to most customers, more businesses are creating calendar magnets and distributing them as a part of their marketing campaign. And, because they are fun and unique, and don't take up much room on the fridge, many companies are opting to use customizable magnetic calendars to promote their brand.

However, unlike ordinary calendars, magnetic calendars are used primarily to display scheduled events, such as company fundraiser nights or the season schedule for a specific sports team. Other details, such as your business contact info and even advertised deals or specials, can appear on magnetic calendars to put the company name at the front of each customer's mind — but scheduled events are the main focus.

If you're in an industry that can benefit from using magnetic calendars to make your message stick, there are a few key types of events that you can advertise — though, the opportunities are endless. Let's take a further look at some magnetic calendar ideas.

Magnetic Calendars for School Events

The beauty of using magnets to promote school-related activities is that there are many events that you can talk about. If it's sports-related, you can make calendar magnets that show the school's football, basketball or baseball schedule. For clubs such as chess, glee or band, magnetic calendars are perfect for showing upcoming matches, performances and practices. And, these magnets can also be used to remind parents of normally scheduled school events, including parent-teacher conferences and early-release school days.

Entertaining Calendar Magnets

If you want to think outside the box, magnetic calendars can be an interesting way to advertise upcoming events in entertainment. For example, restaurants and bars that host trivia nights or schedule watch events for specific sports or TV shows can use calendar magnets. Or, if you work for an independent movie theater that has special seasonal showings (e.g., Halloween horror movies or holiday movies), you can advertise these upcoming showtimes. Some other calendar magnet ideas to consider include:

  • Concerts
  • Musicals/plays
  • Casino events
  • Local car/drag races

Sports Calendar Magnets

Many sporting events or game schedules are applied to magnetic calendars and given away at businesses such as bars or restaurants, and even sporting events to promote the rest of the season. These magnetic calendars can display home and away games, playoff games and championship games, alongside promotions like game day food and beverage specials.
