Eye-catching, full colour, customized ads attached to a 4“ x 6“ three month Community Events Calendar and Business Directory. The full size of the Cal-Ad is 4“ x 28“, while each standard ad is 4“ x 2“.

Why Cal-Ads Advertising Really Works

1) Unique, Highly Visible Format Proven To Be Effective For Over 20 Years

• Cal-Ads are long, narrow and colourful so they really stand out from other direct mail.
• At the top of the Cal-Ad is a unique 3 month mini calendar, local community events bulletin and business directory that compels people to bring the Cal-Ad, and your ad, into their home for 3 months. This allows your business information to be viewed multiple times on both the business directory and your individual ad. (The events are hosted by the local community associations, libraries and non-profits in the area, making them especially relevant to families).).
• The Cal-Ads layout is specifically designed so people are compelled to look at the ads. There are only 2 sides to each Cal-Ad so people can quickly and easily scan the ads, even if they are in a hurry or if they don't usually take the time to look at ad mail.

2) Targeted Marketing & Community Minded

• You can target the geographic areas directly around your business where you are most likely to attract customers. This is very difficult to do with online marketing and can be expensive with other forms of direct mail.
• By advertising you are helping local community associations bring people together.
• Being seen by the residents as a community supporting business enhances a positive business image, enlists trust and encourages potential customers to support your business.

3) Perforated Ads with Promotions Invite People to ACT NOW

• Cal-Ads get people to BUY NOW! Your ad can be used for branding and awareness building and/or for providing time sensitive incentives and coupons to invite potential customers into your business now. We will help you design an advertising promotion that will get results!
• Each ad is perforated and wallet sized, allowing people to easily tear off the ads, and put them in their wallets. They can keep your card long after they have read the CAL-AD, creating more 'top of mind' awareness for your business.
