Some of the top advantages of printed corporate calendars and diaries include the following:

 

·         They are easy to update. Rather than finding a phone or opening up an online version, printed diaries and calendars can be updated in a matter of seconds. Most people keep scheduling tools on their desk, or in their bags, where they can be easily accessed. Entering information by hand can often also be a lot quicker than typing it in via keyboard. This makes printed scheduling tools a far quicker and far more convenient option over their digital counterparts.

 

·         They require no passwords or downloads. On a similar note, there are no passwords to worry about either. Assuming that they are kept safely, printed schedulers are far more secure than any app – especially one that you have to download or update. Although online versions often come with enhanced security and auto-update features, nothing can replace a real life version when it comes to safety and privacy.

 

·         They will not crash or break. Likewise, there is no risk of your calendar suddenly crashing with your app starts working. Almost every single app has its risks, even if it has been rated highly by users. It can be hard to know how apps perform until you download them and try them for yourself. Digital diaries and calendars need to be hosted on a secure platform in order for you to access your schedule. An offline version will never put you at risk of crashes or nasty viruses.

 

·         They are great for visual people. If you are one of those people who prefers to have a clear visual outline of what you need to do each day, a real life calendar or diary may just offer a more rewarding option than a digital schedule. This gives you an easy to access snapshot of your day that you can view without having to open up any app or online web page. Being able to manually tick off items as they are completed is also satisfying.

 

·         They are a useful marketing tool. Finally, both diaries and calendars offer a unique way to keep your brand top of mind. When sending branded schedules to your clients, you will be sure that they remember your brand whenever they use your diary or calendar. This can also be a great in-house tool to help reinforce your brand to employees as well.
