Calendars: A History Lesson

Wall and desk calendars have been around since the 1800’s and the Industrial Revolution. The Western calendar is based on the Gregorian calendar and is the most widely used calendar in the world.

While a calendar refers to a system of measuring periods of time, it also refers to a product that is designed to record and display the actual months, weeks and days in a year. The calendar allows us to keep track of events that are important to us, such as birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or doctor’s appointments. Whether facing deadlines and schedules at work or running a busy household, calendars allow us to organize our busy lives.

Promotional calendars are important business tools, usually given as complimentary gifts to existing customers to thank them. They are also used to attract new customers. Our dedicated team designs over 50 titles and themes each year with your needs in mind. We are proud to present you with beautiful new imagery and interesting informational facts and tips each and every year for the last 45 years.

COMDA is an innovator in our field and was the first to introduce the 13-month calendar. Our exclusive line of Memory Minder calendars features 176 full-colour, removable stickers that can be used to mark special events and serve as reminders, making our calendars interactive and effective marketing tools.
