Store Design
Our stores turn vacant areas into
big seasonal moneymakers, and thanks to thoughtful design,
fixtures, signage and store graphics, our stores have
the appeal and credibility of permanent tenants. Yet our
flexible configurations and store graphics packages-from
kiosk to inline stores - can be implemented in a matter
of days.
Our Distribution Technology is Out of this World
Getting the right product at the right price into the hands of customers at just the right time requires a state-of-the-art distribution system. And that's just what Calendar Club is famous for. We're relentless in making sure our order fulfillment process is exactly what our operators and customers expect.

How Do We Do
It ?
Well, in addition to a great selection
of desirable merchandise, a well-established brand name,
thoughtful store design and a great distribution system,
we also work hard to drive traffic to our stores. Our
research indicates that 60% of our customers go to the
mall with Calendar Club as their primary destination.
Our marketing and promotion campaign includes in-store
events like celebrity appearances and calendar signings.
Our public relations effort earns regular coverage in
both local and national news media. And all this contributes
to store traffic. |
