Dade / Broward School Calendar Templates Prepared For You And Your Max

I created two templates regarding the Miami-Dade and Broward Public School Calendars which you can use for mailings and distribution.  You will be receiving these templates via e-mail from your manager once same are approved.

When you receive the e-mail, download and save the desired template (which are jpegs-photos) to your desktop. One is for Miami-Dade, the other is for Broward. Upload the desired calendar template (jpeg) into Max as you would any other photo (best to upload through the Help Center but not necessary). Name it.

Note: This is a flat template; therefore, your photo and information will not appear on the front. You must upload your personal photo,  to be ADDED on top of the template — instructions below* – (however, upload your personal photo into Max the same way you uploaded the calendar template and the same way you have uploaded residential photos into Max in the past).

Click on Marketing Materials, POSTCARDS, Marketing, UPLOAD YOUR OWN. (Click on 2 UP – or 5.5 x 8.5 landscape). Click on CHANGE, then My Pictures, and choose the calendar template (jpeg) you uploaded previously. CLICK ON REPLACE EXISTING IMAGE or your calendar will be lopsided if you load it any other way!

The template (calendar) will fill the entire space.

Click on  advanced editor, CLICK ADD PHOTO* to add your personal photo. Resize << >> it (buttons are in the editor box to your right) and move your personal photo into the white space provided. Add a text box next to the words “Compliments of” and type in your name and best phone number. Ignore the gray area. Change the FONT in your textbox with your name and phone number to ARIAL and WHITE to match the color scheme.

Customize the card back any way you wish with your call to action. Your  “profile” information will naturally appear on the back.

PREVIEW IT (PRINT PREVIEW) and SAVE IT (give it a name). Order it to be printed through Mailprint.com as usual because they will UV coat it and mail it out for you if you desire.

The calendar is a great piece because it has a long shelf life. Your agent info really needs to appear on the front as well as the back so you, the agent, are in your prospect’s face every time that prospect goes to the refrigerator — (and we know how often that probably is . . . )

If you want to have an unaddressed stack of postcards sent back to you from Mailprint.com, add a magnet to the back where the name/address would go, and slip the postcard into a 9×6 envelope and address the envelope by hand.  (Some of you had saved the centers of the magnets from your yearly calendars.)  Include the Newsletter in Max about “returning to school.”  Be sure to weight the envelope before placing a stamp on it, or take it to the post office for handling.

Give a stack to teachers, children and grandchildren for distribution — have a stack at your open houses, take them to dentists’ and doctors’ offices . . . . Now is the time to get those pieces printed, mailed and in place long before your competition!
