Will,

Some do and some don't, it really depends on your market.  One of our clients get call asking her if she is going to mail out calendars, her sphere loves them.  Here is Santa Barbara the calendars are beautiful art pieces given the level of photographers we have.  And the same applies some like them and some could care less.  You have to know who is who. is your marketplace.

I already mailed mine. My clients like them and often ask if I'm sending out again. And with all the agents who've stopped doing this, I know I don't compete with others.

Seems like not many do anymore. I end up buying myself a calendar or two each year. My bank usually gives them out but I don't really like theirs so I choose my own.

Do you still send them, Will?

I do, it's just another way to stay in touch and many of my customers like receiving them, some use them in their RVs, carry them in their purses, or whatever works for them. It does not always have to be the fridge!

I have a calendar. It is showing August. 

I have a really styling watch, but I never check the time with it.

I have a camera, a really good one...but question the practicality of packing it around.

I do not send out calendars, but I do send out an equivalent that will be used.  Sitting where I am right now I can see the date and time on five things and none are a calendar. DFU calendars are of little value. The localized, customized calender is worthwhile but requires a true investment of time.

Such a calendar has legs. It's an exceptional marketing piece to out of town buyers or prospects that make them want to be where life is worth living.

I mail wall calendars, and some people from my distibution list are accustomed to getting them every year. Some of them I distribute in person and we usually have a nice chat about the year past. I started asking people if they use wall calendars, though. If they don't, I don't mail or hand-deliver to them.

I do but I send out my mini fridge magnet calendar first of January. I figured out some years ago that I could tear off October, November, December and include half a page of everything that has sold the last year with # of bedrooms, baths, year built, listed for, sold for & average sq.ft. 

People love them and especially the included report. On an average, I get one listing for every 100 that I send out = $1 each so to me, yes, its worth it.
