It happens every year: for about a month after January 1, you keep using the previous year every time you have to write the date. Then, once you've finally gotten that down, your days just start blurring into each other so that you never can remember exactly what day it is. This continues until the holiday blitz at the end of the year, which is just a chaotic mess that ends with you having to get used to a new year all over again.

We understand how it goes, perhaps a little too well. That's why we're happy to offer the Desk Pad Black and White.

This is the kind of promotional calendar that sits on top of an office desk and covers most of it. Whenever you or your customers need to know what day it is, there the answer will be in big, beautiful text, with enough space next to the date in each box for your own notes.

Here's what else we can tell you about the Desk Pad Black and White:

• It includes vinyl corners and large drill holes for hanging and uses Julian dates.
• Custom border colors are available for the days of the week bar and the span-a-year bar.
• Heads up: custom colors such as gold, yellow, or pastels may not be visible at a distance on white paper.

At 17" by 22", the Desk Pad Black and White might not be the most practical direct mail item, but it will be an excellent end-of-the-year in-store giveaway. Don't miss this deal just because you missed the date; order today!
