Make your calendar something special.  Include funny staff photos, festive seasonal or holiday photos of yours small business, or creative photos of the products you offer.  Be imaginative and choose photos that have a lot of visual variety.  Be sure to include your business’s name, logo, and contact information.  List the dates of any special events you are hosting, too. 

Hand out calendars to your employees as a free gif t with purchase or simply leave a stack on the counter.  Sell the calendars for a small price and donate all money to a local charity.  Your business will gain popularity and garner respect in the community. 

Custom calendars make great personal gifts too!

It is your dreams come true.  Today is the grand opening of your bakery.  You have worked so hard, and the day is finally here.  As your first-ever customers cash out at the register, you hand them a custom pen with their receipt. 

A pen is an affordable and effective marketing tool.  The pen has a fun design and includes the name of your bakery, as well as the phone number, Web site, and address.  From now on, your business information will be at your customers’ fingertips whether it’s in their home or office.  Your customers will be glad they have received a useful gift and you will be glad to market your business.

Create business cards and letterhead to match your pens, too!
