Customizing Your Fundraising Calendars Effectively

By: Colleen Davis

Let’s start customizing your calendar layouts. One of the most important things you can do for your fundraising calendars is to customize it significantly so that it looks different and distinct from all other fundraising calendars out there. The more it is different and unique, the more likely people will notice it and buy it. So let me teach you how to customize your color calendar properly to get the best impact possible with your consumers. Follow all these tips and your custom calendars should not look like any old common calendar out there.

• Reinventing the whole layout – One of the basic things that you must change to customize your calendars is its layout. From the standard calendar layout used by your calendar template, you should try to shift things around and move design elements into different places.

You can then put in a soft water mark image into the calendar itself to make it look as if it is integrated with the main image which is its background. You can also reverse things around and put the table on top, with the main image at the bottom. Just reinvent the layout any way you can so that people will think your custom calendar is different. Trust me, it is better to be different here, especially when you are printing fundraising calendars.

By creating all the images on your own and then enhancing them for your calendars, you will have a more original looking calendar that people can respect and enjoy.

• Being creative with your fonts – You should also never be afraid of being creative with your fonts. True customization is in adding that certain unique style even with your text. So do not just use Arial fonts or Times New roman. Try to look for the best and newest fonts that can be applicable to your theme. Having a distinct text style can be a key factor for people buying and remember your custom calendars. So do not be afraid and choose some new fonts at one time or another.

• Adding powerful special effects – Remember as well that you can add great and powerful special effects to your fundraising calendars. These special effects will definitely help increase the visibility and customization of your calendars. You can easily add background textures, color gradients, text shadows, 3D effects and other great special filters that can make the calendar extra interesting. This can actually be the only difference between your custom calendars and the boring standard ones out there. So make sure you try and add these special effects to get that unique and customized look that you want.

• Being creative with your printing – Finally, never forget that you have options in printing. You different paper materials and inks that make your color calendars look more customized. Textured paper materials and glossy or metallic inks can really turn your color calendars into something really impressive looking.
