My Calendar Maker celebrates record sales

My Calendar Maker, a web-based, woman-owned small business with headquarters outside of Richmond, Virginia, is proud to announce yet another record-breaking year in calendar and note card sales.

My Calendar Maker, which provides custom-made calendars and note cards through its website, http://www.mycalendarmaker.com, was founded in January 2002 by Galit Fraser of Mechanicsville, Virginia. Since then, sales have shot up by 480 percent. Calendar sales in 2005 were nearly 600 percent higher than in 2002.

Fraser, who said she “started her business with $500 and a lot of hard work” after the birth of her first child, credits her success to a mixture of quality products, reasonable prices, and excellent customer service. Offering customized, personalized calendars for individuals and fundraising groups, My Calendar Maker is a creative alternative to preprinted mass-market choices. Calendars come in three sizes and three different types of paper, and customers can use prepopulated holidays as well as add their own. Customers can also use their own photographs and art throughout the calendars. “Some of my favorite pictures are of customers’ children and animals,” Fraser said.

Custom-made note cards are a popular new product My Calendar Maker offers. Fraser says she often uses her own children’s art for holiday cards and thank you notes to her family and friends. Customers often enjoy creating small works of art for their cards, then giving them out to loved ones and colleagues.

Many customers come back to My Calendar Maker year after year, and say it’s the quality of both the calendars and the customer service that convinces them to buy over and over for themselves and for fundraisers. One customer in Indiana said, “Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that you took the time to fit in my calendar so quickly. I will keep you in mind in the future because of your wonderful service and attitude. It is good to know that there are still people and companies around that are so attentive to customers' needs. Thanks again!”

Another customer commented, “I was very impressed with the quality workmanship and value that your company offered, and will be doing business with you again. Thanks for the great service.”
