Here are some of the inspired ways our customers have created unique, fun and must-have fundraising calendars:
Give your childrens' artwork pride of place in an annual art competition to be featured in the school calendar. Take a high-res scan of their mini-masterpieces and add the title, child's name and year group as the caption. With our academic calendars you can select the starting month as September. It works well to take pre-orders in the summer term for distribution to parents for the start of the new year as school calendars are such a great way to inform parents informed of important events, term dates, cake sales, inset days etc.
The Women's Institute raised a £1million with this simple, saucy idea. Use bats and balls to conceal your bits-and-bobs and sell a bundle!! Warwick University Rowing Club created some of the most successful naked calendars we've ever printed, winning awards and an international media coverage.
Take your photos in black & white and create a stylish, sexy (and more flattering) calendar. Add some moody looks and it's Andy Murray or Jessica Ennis-Hill, eat-your-heart-out! A winning idea for varsity teams, sports clubs and societies done beautifully. Check out our Facebook page for examples.
Comission individual portrait shots of each team player for each month of your calendar and celebrate 'Mr January' or 'Miss February'. Works well with the 13 page designs, for example our economical A4 7 Leaf Double Sided Wall Calendar.
Get your gang to dress up as rock stars or choose a fun theme such as Punk, Eighties or heavy metal for each calendar month. Alternatively, re-enact scenes from your favourite films or music videos.
Pick the best action shots from your team's season and highlight individual and team achievements in the caption areas, for example 'Johnny Barnes: Last season's top point's scorer'.
Spread the calendar across different age groups or classes and feature a different year group on each month. Get teachers and coaches involved too.
Feature your sponsor's logo on each page with any of our 'Sponsor logo' calendar styles in exchange for a little help towards your set-up costs. Your sponsor will benefit from year-round brand exposure to your supporters and positive PR. Just select 'design with extra logo space' on our product pages before your start.
Hold a photo competition to capture what it is people love about the place, school or sport you share. Alternatively find a budding photographer to capture an event or fixture.
