Tip: don’t discount calendars

Calendar Club has done its best to teach Australians that calendars need to be discount to sell. While their business has been successful, grabbing plenty of calendar revenue in shopping centres, they have not ‘educated’ everyone that the only way to sell calendars is to discount them.

We don’t discount calendars and can get full price through to early in the second half of the year.

The key is to purchase so that you sell out before then. Also, the more niche the title, the less price pressure.

So, we are not discounting calendars and so far this year we are up more than 50% on last year’s good base.

Calendars remain a strong category, nicely complimentary to diaries, which are strong, too.
