Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use to hang or display my calendar?
The answer to this will depend on the type of calendar you choose to purchase and the surface you wish to fix it to. But with that being said, most calendars are made with holes on the binding specifically included for hanging. To hang your calendar on a wall, you could use thumbtacks or push pins, double-sided tape, velcro strips, or even nails. If you’d like to hang your calendar on your refrigerator or metal filing cabinet, you can always purchase magnetic strips separately.
How can I benefit from a print calendar as opposed to a digital calendar?
While some people prefer a digital calendar that pings them with notifications, others can benefit from a physical calendar that they must handwrite appointments and reminders on. The act of handwriting these important items can help you to remember them better. And having an always-visible list of tasks or being able to constantly see that upcoming due date means there’s a much smaller chance of you forgetting about it. Depending on the type of calendar, print calendars can also add a touch of color, inspiration, and self-expression to your workspace or living space that digital calendars simply cannot.
