What to Avoid When Using Fundraising Calendars

What to Avoid When Using Fundraising Calendars

Let me warn you. Fundraising calendars may be a great idea, but sometimes you can ruin a perfectly good campaign with them. Sometimes, certain calendar layouts, themes and even marketing techniques can backfire on your campaign, damaging its reputation and credibility. I have seen this on some campaigns with fundraising calendars, so it is good to be careful when working with these tools.

Let me give you a few examples of how you can ruin a good fundraising campaign with your custom calendars. Take these examples to heart so that you do not damage your whole campaign to the point where you lose money. Try to pay attention and avoid these mistakes at all cost.

a. Using past or unoriginal themes One basic error that some designers might do in your fundraising calendars is to use themes from your past works or to generally just use unoriginal themes that many people have done before. While it is hard to develop a good and totally original design these days, there is no real excuse to just repeat themes. Not only will this make your fundraising calendars look more boring and common, but it will also mark your whole fundraising campaign as unoriginal with a lack of innovation (and you do not want that). So try to avoid using past or unoriginal themes. Use your imagination, work with your creative team and make some original fundraising calendars for the benefit of your fundraising campaign.

b. Using inappropriate design messages and symbols Another big mistake when using custom calendars for fundraising is the use of inappropriate design messages and symbols. Remember that typically you should always relate your calendar themes to the theme of your whole fundraising campaign. You won't want to print sexy calendar collections for a children's fundraising cause right? So always try to pay attention and match your calendar themes with your fundraising theme. Do not just choose themes just because they will probably sell more. It should make for a more appropriate fundraising calendar for your cause when you do this.

c. Selling at the wrong time and place Another big mistake that you should avoid with your fundraising calendars is when you sell at the wrong time and place. You don't want to impose or become a nuisance to your potential customers as you push your calendar "wares" to them. I have seen many marketing people expose their custom calendars too much, to the point that market just gets saturated with them and people get bored or overloaded with the prints.

So make sure you set your marketing well. Only pick key high traffic places for your calendar deployment and time it around a month or so before the year turns. You don't need to flood the whole market to succeed with your fundraising calendars.

d. Printing in cheap quality Finally, one mistake you should always try to avoid is to print your fundraising calendars too cheaply. I know that the budget for calendar printing seems to not cooperate too often these days, but you should always spend on quality calendar printing. People expect a lot from more slightly expensive fundraising calendars. You do not want to damage your reputation by delivering lackluster prints that is hardly worth the price.

Good! Take all these facts to heart when you are printing fundraising calendars. These should help you avoid damaging your fundraising campaign, giving you a better chance of getting profits.
