If you’d like, you can make so much more use out of your yearly calendars than just hanging them on your wall or setting them on top of your desk. Dallas printers and DFW printers do not produce thousands of calendars yearly just for them to hang unnoticed in a darker corner, after all, so it would not hurt for you to be a bit more creative with your calendar use, whether it is for publicity or for personal use only. To start with, here are some basic ideas which you can use in order to add a little spin to your calendar-viewing days.

Rip them up and scatter. There is no written rule that says a calendar’s months have to be together for the whole year that you need them, so nothing is stopping you from separating them and posting them around the different rooms of your house. This works best when your calendar design is particularly decorative and of course when you do not mind having to remember which room contains which months of the year. At least this way you can put in a few more steps into your day and add a little variety to your routine when you change rooms every few months. Think outside the box, or in this ...
... case, outside the room.

Have a special customer discount day. If you are going to use calendars for publicity purposes, you may want to consider printing out individually unique calendars with specially marked dates. These specially marked dates will serve as “sale dates” for the customer owning the calendar and would serve to entice more and more customers to your business, if only one or two customers a day. This is both a cheap and inventive way of using calendars as a lure for potential clients, so do not hesitate in trying this out the next time you have calendars printed. Just make sure to explain what you want very well to your commercial printer so that you would avoid headaches stemming from misunderstandings.

Turn them into artwork. What do you do with old calendars every time the New Year comes by? Unless for some reason you keep them until they are valid again—a few decades or so—you most probably throw the calendars straight into the trashcan. Don’t! You can still use them for epic projects and artwork that could span a few years for as long as you are collecting your old calendars. It only takes a bit of creativity and environmental awareness, and you will surely be turning your calendars into masterpieces in no time. If you cannot be bothered to this, at least have the decency to take the old papers to a recycler.

It is highly likely that you have never thought of the above things when making use of your calendar nor did your Dallas printer or DFW printer ever hint at them. There are many of these creative uses to choose from, of course, but you would have to think of them by yourself. Just remember that when it comes to calendars don’t just hang, be creative.
