Why Magnet Size and Readability Matter
Football schedule magnets should help customers find game dates quickly and easily. They should never force anyone to squint or search for a magnifying glass.
Many buyers compare price, colors, design, and the number of teams included. However, one question matters more than all the others: Can your customers actually read the finished magnet?
A promotional magnet only works when people find it useful. Tiny team names and crowded dates can frustrate the reader. She may place the magnet in a drawer or throw it away. Either result defeats the purpose of your investment.
Sixteen SEC Schedules Need Enough Space
All 16 SEC football teams require a large printing area. Each schedule needs room for dates, opponents, and home or away games.
Your company information also needs space. Your logo, phone number, website, and marketing message should remain noticeable and easy to understand.
Some suppliers squeeze all 16 schedules onto a 6″ × 8″ magnet. A smaller magnet may cost less to manufacture. However, it often creates cramped schedules and extremely small lettering.
Several customers have switched to our product after buying smaller magnets elsewhere. Their clients struggled to read the crowded schedules.
A Larger Magnet Creates a Better Layout Presentation
Our 8″ × 10.5″ magnet nearly matches the size of a standard sheet of printer paper. The larger surface gives each schedule more breathing room.
Designers can use clearer type, better spacing, and a more organized layout. They can also give your advertisement the attention it deserves.
A smaller design may leave only a narrow space for your business information. A larger format creates a better balance between the schedules and your advertisement.
Consider the People Who Receive Your Magnet
Your audience may include parents, homeowners, office employees, and longtime customers. Some recipients may also have limited eyesight. They should feel comfortable reading the schedule on a refrigerator, filing cabinet, breakroom wall, or office bulletin board.
Good design involves more than fitting every item into the available space. It should guide the reader directly to the team and game she wants. A clean layout saves time and reduces frustration. It also makes your company look more thoughtful and professional.
Review Every Design at Its Actual Size
Always review a design at its final printed dimensions before placing an order. An enlarged computer preview can make tiny lettering look deceptively clear.
Print a full-size proof when possible. Then place it several feet away and try to read the schedules. This simple test can reveal problems before production begins.
Larger football schedule magnets allow readable type and logical spacing. They also give your business name a stronger visual presence.
The schedule gives customers a reason to keep the magnet. Easy reading encourages them to check it throughout the season. Every use creates another impression for your business.
Football schedule magnets should deliver real value to the recipient. Clear schedules and attractive advertising can provide months of useful information and repeated brand exposure.
