Put Your Marketing Where People Will Actually See It

Magnetic calendars and sports schedules work because they are useful. When someone puts one on a refrigerator, filing cabinet or other magnetic surface, your business can stay visible for months. The goal is not simply to hand out as many magnets as possible. It is to place them with people who are likely to keep, use and share them.

8 Easy Distribution Ideas

Where Should You Hand Out Your Magnets?

Start with the places and relationships you already have. A few thoughtful distribution points can often be more valuable than simply leaving magnets everywhere.

Local Businesses You Already Visit

Ask coffee shops, restaurants, offices and other local businesses you already know if you can leave a small stack for customers. Choose places that serve the same community or audience you want to reach.

Friends, Customers & Referral Partners

Give extras to your best customers, friends and referral partners. People who already know and trust you can help introduce your business to neighbors, coworkers and people in their own networks.

Salons & Barber Shops

Salons and barber shops often have steady local traffic and repeat customers. Sports schedules can be especially natural here because people have a reason to pick one up and take it home.

Schools & Community Programs

Ask local schools, booster clubs, youth organizations or community programs about approved opportunities to share schedules or calendars with families. Plan early because many organizations prepare packets and event materials in advance.

Chambers & Business Groups

Local chambers, networking groups and business associations can help put your brand in front of other business owners and community members. Ask about member tables, welcome packets and upcoming events.

Use Social Media to Create Demand

Share a photo of your new calendar or sports schedule and invite local customers to request one. This turns a physical marketing product into a conversation and gives people a reason to contact you.

Neighborhood Outreach

When appropriate, use calendars or schedules as part of neighborhood introductions, community events, open houses or local outreach. A useful item gives you something more meaningful to leave behind than a business card alone.

High-Traffic Community Locations

Look for locally owned convenience stores, service counters and other high-traffic locations where free community information is already shared. Always ask permission before leaving materials.

Magnetic Marketing Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A few quick answers to help you get more value from your magnetic calendar or sports schedule campaign.

What is the best way to distribute magnetic calendars?

Start with existing customers, referral partners and local businesses that serve the same audience you do. Magnetic calendars work best when they reach people who will actually put them somewhere visible and use them throughout the year.

Where should I distribute sports schedule magnets?

Sports schedule magnets are a good fit for customers, local businesses, community organizations, schools, sports-related events and neighborhood outreach. Locations with repeat local traffic can be especially valuable because schedules give people a practical reason to take one.

Can magnetic calendars and sports schedules be mailed?

Yes. Many magnetic marketing products can be incorporated into direct mail campaigns. Magnets USA offers mailing and fulfillment services and can help determine the right preparation for your specific product and campaign.

How do magnets help keep a business top of mind?

Unlike many promotional pieces that are quickly discarded, useful magnets can remain visible on refrigerators, filing cabinets and other magnetic surfaces. A calendar or sports schedule can give customers a reason to look at the product repeatedly throughout the year or sports season.

Can Magnets USA help me reach new prospects?

Yes. In addition to producing magnetic marketing products, Magnets USA offers direct mail and fulfillment services and can help support targeted campaigns when you want to reach customers beyond your existing contact list.
