Welcome to this tutorial about fundraising calendars! In this particular lesson, I will teach you how to check your fundraising calendars correctly. Beyond just checking your calendar layouts, I will teach you how to go after and analyze the important aspects of your custom calendars to make sure that they are ideal for effective fundraising. So just read on and try to learn what you need to check for your own color calendars.
• Checking material toughness – A calendar must be always built to last. Even if they are for fundraising or for actual commercial sales, you should always check if the materials you will be using for printing are tough. So always check to see your options. If you are printing with a calendar printing company, ask them what different kinds of paper they have, the variations in thickness, as well any other special properties that they have. Try to always choose the ones that can last for more than a year.
Of course, if you are printing your fundraising calendars yourself, you should choose the best most durable ones that are available to you as well. It is crucial that you ensure your fundraising calendar’s material quality, so take all these checks seriously.
• Checking binding quality – You should also always check the binding quality. Your paper might be almost immune to any kind of physical attacks, but if your binding is not good, it will fall apart well before the first quarter of the year ends. So always check your binding quality if it can last the whole span of the year. Custom calendars bound with the “perfect binding” methods as well as the ring binding method usually lasts a long time. Try to avoid stitch binding or stable binding as these typically vary in quality, some are good and some are bad. Just remember to always check this so that your fundraising calendars can pass the good quality standards of most consumers.
• Checking date accuracy – Of course, never forget to check the accuracy of your dates. It would be embarrassing to sell color calendars that have mistakes in its dates, months and even in its events and holidays. People rely on calendars for accurate date information, so make sure that you check your calendars, correcting any kind of inaccuracies in the dates and important events or holidays. The more accurate your custom calendars the more useful they will be for your potential customers.
• Checking design appeal – You should also always try to check the design appeal of your fundraising calendars. To ensure success within your target market, you should try to test if people will respond to your design and find it appealing. The only way to do this really is to have people react to your draft calendars before you mass produce them. Gather some trusted colleagues, friends and even just casual acquaintances to judge your custom calendar if it is good or bad. By studying their feedback, you should be able to teak your designs for the most optimum effect for your target audience.
Great! Those are the important ones that you need to check for your calendar printing. If all of these checks are done right, you should be well and ready to produce and deploy those fundraising calendars without the risk of additional problems. Good luck!
