These compact promotional items combine the portability of a business card with the long-term visibility of a calendar and the convenient adherence of a magnet. A typical example features contact information and branding on one side, paired with a year-long calendar grid on the other, all affixed to a magnetic backing. This allows recipients to readily display the item on a refrigerator, filing cabinet, or other metal surface, keeping the brand and contact details top-of-mind.
The enduring nature of these marketing tools provides sustained exposure throughout the year, offering a high return on investment. By serving a practical purpose, they avoid the fate of easily discarded flyers or brochures. Their convenient size allows for easy distribution at trade shows, conferences, or as leave-behinds during client visits. Historically, combining calendars with promotional items has been a successful strategy, and the addition of magnetic backing enhances this utility further.
