WE SOLVE A PROBLEM

HOW DO WE DO IT?

Confirmed special dates are published in the QR calendar, while your school’s online calendar is accessible 24/7 via a QR code located at the top of each page. Parents are reminded to scan this QR on the 1st of every month to check for new events on the school website, and these can be written into the QR calendar, if necessary.

ECO FRIENDLY

We use only top-quality recycled card without laminate or gloss, ensuring our calendars are 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable. Our Zero-Waste approach means we publish only what is needed, minimizing unnecessary waste.

Q & A

Why Should We Print Calendars When We Already Offer a Free Digital Calendar?

While digital calendars are convenient, research shows that nearly 80% of parents will buy a printed calendar in December 2024. This presents a unique opportunity to promote your school while offering parents a seamless, 24/7 connection to your school’s digital calendar—something they can’t get anywhere else.​

​​

Why are QR Calendars formatted from December to January and not in a school-year format?

Research indicates that consumers are more likely to make a purchase when they are familiar with an item. QR Calendars are traditionally formatted to align with the calendar year, making them more appealing and versatile for parents. ​This generic format better meets the needs of a broader demographic, as such, parents may decide to purchase multiple copies as gifts for family and friends during the holiday season.

​

Are QR Calendars an Effective Way to Raise Funds?

Fundraising can be challenging, but it is much easier when offering a product with proven demand. With 78% of parents purchasing printed calendars annually, we anticipate that 60-78% of your school’s households will choose to invest in a QR Calendar, particularly with advance notice and pre-payment through your school’s system.

​​

Why Will Parents Choose a QR Calendar Over a Generic One?

  • QR Calendars are competitively priced and significantly more eco-friendly than most alternatives.

  • They come pre-loaded with your school’s event diary, offering parents a convenient, time-saving solution.

  • With 78% of parents planning to buy a calendar in December 2024, they are more likely to choose one that supports their child's school.

 

Do You Have a Minimum Order Quantity?

Yes, our minimum order is 150 calendars. We recommend QR Calendars for schools with at least 250 unique households, to maximise fundraising potential.

​​​

How Does the QR Calendar Work and What Benefits Does It Offer Our School Community?

QR Calendars streamline communication by keeping parents informed and connected to your school’s online calendar through a scannable QR code on each page. These calendars are among the most eco-friendly available, they demonstrate your school’s commitment to environmental responsibility while aligning perfectly with the Department of Education's sustainability goals.

​​​

What Customisation Options Are Available for the Calendar?

Each calendar is fully customised to reflect your school’s unique spirit. You can supply the images (13) for the cover and each month, or we can arrange a professional photoshoot at an additional cost. Whether you prefer a simple design with one image per month or multiple photos on select pages, we offer a variety of layout options to suit your needs.  Contact us at 01 2840505 to discuss the best options for your school.
