Business wall calendars can serve multiple functions. They take up wall space (one less picture to worry about) and remind you of today's date, upcoming meetings and planned events. You can use them when you schedule production and inventory delivery and when you plan employee vacations, so key employees don’t take off at the same time.

Whether you hang a business wall calendar in the receptionist area, the office, a barbershop or behind a cash register, you place them where everyone can see them, so give your business calendars a little thought before you buy them. When purchasing a business wall calendar, keep in mind:

1. Size matters.
2. Functions your calendar will perform.
3. Customizing wall calendars.



Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Go big with a giant wall calendar


A giant wall calendar will provide you with benefits a small calendar won't. Gigantic wall calendars make the task of scheduling easier because you can write more text in larger letters and you won't squint to see the tiny print. Additionally, when you incorporate giant wall calendars as visual aids in presentations to employees during scheduling meetings, everyone can instantly see schedules and deadlines you're talking about.

I recommend: Check out the gigantic wall calendars by Tri-Point Products for planning; they come in sizes as large as 3 ft. by 4 ft. Also, visit Flex-a-Chart for their selection of giant erasable wall calendars.

Know how you will use your wall calendars


Your wall calendar will serve different functions for you. If you're using it for scheduling events and meetings, a dry erase wall calendar will simplify your life. At-a-glance wall calendars help when you're quickly looking for openings where you can schedule a new event or look for your next opportunity for catching up on mounting piles of paperwork.

I recommend: You'll find many options for at-a-glance wall calendars. Start with At-A-Glance, where you'll find calendars that let you see one day or three months at a time. Also try Staples and Day-Timer for more options.

Display custom wall calendars at your place of business or give them to clients as gifts


Custom wall calendars cost less in bulk, so consider this option for your business. Order them as gifts for clients and then keep some for yourself and your employees.

I recommend: Consider the mini personalized wall calendar that works great in cubicles and other small places at BuyOnlineNowVistaPrint will put your logo on business wall calendars. If you're looking for a more creative option, visit SmartDraw for a free trial of their software that lets you create your own calendar. Zazzle also prints custom calendars and lets you choose your start and end months, pictures and captions.
