Paper Calendars Endure Despite the Digital Age. (The New York Times, 12/26/2018)
The sales of appointment books and planners grew 10 percent from 2014-15 to 2015-16 to $342.7 million, and decorative and other calendars increased by 8 percent to $65 million in that time, according to figures from the NPD Group, a consumer research firm.
A calendar store still pops up each Christmas shopping season in the Boston Store-less center court of West Towne Mall. Their inventory of box calendars has also decreased.
