1\. High-resolution images#

Your logo, background images and icons must be high-resolution files. This ensures your brand looks crisp and professional once printed.

<AcademyProTip>Always use 300 DPI for print images. Your calendar will thank you with sharp, professional results that reflect well on your brand.</AcademyProTip>

2\. Include important holidays#

Adding local and international public holidays and events makes your calendar more valuable. School holidays are gold for parents.

Also, double-check you've got the right year! 🙂

4\. Create provision for notes#

This is crucial for Deskpad Calendars. Adding space for quick notes under specific dates, or additional notes on the side makes them genuinely useful for staff and clients.

5\. Keep it simple#

Don't over-clutter your calendar. Your company logo and slogan will handle the branding. You can add a background image, but make sure it doesn't clash with or hide your logo and slogan. Avoid too many different colours, fonts and graphics. Follow **Marissa Mayer's 5-point rule:**

<AcademyQuote>Back in her days at Google, Mayer would tell designers to count a point for every different font, font size, and color on a page. If a page goes above five points, it's time to redesign.</AcademyQuote>

6\. Include important contact details#

Email address, contact number and website URL are essential. Make sure all details match the type of queries you expect from calendar recipients. Monitor that phone number and email, and ensure the URL works all year round.

7\. Other inspirations#

You can get creative with inspirational quotes. Give it a yearbook feel for staff calendars. Include your product or service offering where it makes sense.

But remember — focus on adding value while keeping it simple.

<AcademyDadJoke>Why don't calendars ever get stressed? Because they take it one day at a time!</AcademyDadJoke>
