Hello Jtbold,
The U.S. calendar industry is worth $467 million a year, and
approximately 52 million individual calendars are sold a year.
According to Hillel Levin, general manager of Calendars.com, the
calendar market is growing.
Relevant excerpts:
"Calendars feed into the wide gamut of affinities that people have,
from dog breeds to crafts, classic tractors, lawn mowers, outhouses
and on and on."
?It's also a reflection of the galloping growth of the calendar industry.?
?According to a study commissioned by Calendars.com, the calendar
publishing industry now totals about $467 million a year. About 52
million individual calendars are sold a year.?
"Every year it's bigger," Levin says. "Three years ago, we had 2,500
titles, last year we had 5,000, this year we've got 6,500."
