What is the most effective form of marketing and planning?

Fact: With over 80% of internet users owning a smartphone, we live in a time where technology dominates our everyday lives. There is a looming misconception about the need for calendars and diaries in our modern day society.

Despite the introduction of digital planners and event notifications popping up on our electronic device, promotional calendars and branded diaries have continued to be in the top 20 promotional product ranges for two consecutive years (2015/2016)

Did you know that 68% of companies have incorporated mobile phone marketing into their strategy?

Now is the time to consider utilising promotional calendars and diaries. With the costs of running adverts, apps, PPC campaigns and now Facebook advertising which are specifically targeted at mobile users, the Brands’ overall annual spend has the potential to increase considerably year after year.

On the other-hand promotional calendars and diaries are a timeless and cost-effective way to ensure your brand is in front of your clients 365 days a year.

Why are calendars and diaries preferred among consumers over mobile phones?

According to a report published by the Psychological Science Journal using a paper and pen boosts your memory and the ability to retain information, therefore by writing an event in your calendar you’ve got a better chance of remembering the details.
