Sentimental Countdown

Consumers turn to eclectically themed calendars to evoke emotional responses

Implications - Moving away from traditional paper calendars, consumers are marking down special occasions with more eclectic and highly customized creations.

2. Event Planning and Decor - Companies in the event planning and decor industries can take note of these trends to offer clients more personalized and creative options for celebrating important events.
