The pattern

This still is filed under Utility premium.

Define

The free thing is kept because it works (a calendar, a tool, a template) and the brand rides along.

Mechanism

Usefulness as media. Frequency of use is frequency of exposure. Distinct from a keepable card: here the object has a job.

Verdict

We can give something people will actually use next week.

Why it works

The high aesthetic value of the bird illustrations and the utility of the calendar make the almanac too valuable to throw away, ensuring 365 days of advertising exposure.

Steal this when

You need to create a piece of marketing collateral that the audience will actively want to display or keep for an extended period.
