I would like to thank you for sending me the calendar sample via express post.
We've thought about it and would prefer to wait for next years "animal talk" 12 page calendar.
Not like the U-CAN-C calendar isn't any good but we would prefer the other...
I appreciate your time and effort spent to help me out and I am looking forward to doing business with you next year.

Thanks a million,
Emily

"Today I recieved the "Motivated Animals" 2007 calender you so kindly sent me. I love it. I have been getting these calendars for about 4 years free from my pharmacy in Heathmont at the end of each year.

I am now getting back to being my strong self again - a lot to do with your calendars. My greatest love in life is animals, and the motivational sayings with these glorious pictures have helped me so much to face life again. I have also been a pensioner this year and the dates for pension days are great. My calendar in my kitchen is everything for me - for birthdays, appointments, outings, etc. I now use another chemist close to me, and found it difficult to know when the calendars were coming into the previous chemist, and they go so quickly being on the counter.

I would love it if I could use your service again in a year - I am willing to pay, just to get your calendar. At the moment, I am enjoying going through my new calendar, laughing at the funny animals and the wonderful captions.

Thank you so much for giving me a spark in my life again - I am so grateful."

Patricia F.

"Thank you so much, firstly for the "phases of the moon", and also for the calendar - "Motivated Animals"
I really love animals, which I call fellow creatures very much, most of all. However, I would love to thank you for the little notes that you enclosed.
You are a very special person and I sincerely hope that the rest of your life is really wonderful!!"

"The overall production of your 2006 calendar, has been a nice calendar to turn and see the next bright picture each month.
Our favourite months and pictures are May, June, July, August."

"Congratulations on a terrific effort. We will shortly be in touch re ording 2006 calendars with our new logo!"

"Kris For the past few years we have ordered our calendars online. This has been a fabulous way for us to view styles available and the website is so easy to use. It also allows us to order at our leisure.
We have always found your service to be efficient and friendly. Our calendars have always been delivered on time, with correct quantities etc. We are happy to continue ordering from you."

“I can’t remember how long we’ve been purchasing The Guild calendar but it would be for around 15-20 years. Our customers like the format and they start asking for it around October every year. One year I forgot to order, and they never let me forget it. Since then I’ve ordered every year. Other companies have tried to get my business, but I’m quite happy with The Guild’s calendar and see no need to change.”

Peter Gilmour
Barts the Chemist, Moorabbin VIC 

“We’ve been purchasing The Guild calendars for around 10 years now and we use them because they create good customer loyalty. It is a means of rewarding our regular customers who have been loyal to us and to encourage them to continue to support us, and they seem to work. We’ve tried pens and magnets but we still get a more positive response to the calendar. Our seniors tell us that they like them because they like the big numbers that can be easily and clearly seen. They also seem to find the information on the back of each page helpful.”

David Aprile
Mackay Day & Night Pharmacy, Mackay QLD 

“The Evandale Pharmacy (formerly B A Scrivener Pharmacy) has been purchasing The Pharmacy Guild calendar for 44 years! In fact, one of our customers has collected the calendar and has all 44 of them. We think the Guild calendar is marvellous. Our customers love them, they like the big numbers that they can see easily and we’ve always found the images are beautiful.”

Loan Dang
Evandale Pharmacy, Evandale SA

“We’ve been purchasing the Guild calendar for well over 20 years. We buy it because we like the nice big space it provides for our customers to write in, but more importantly because of all the poisons advice and health tips which are a constant reminder to our customers of where the calendar came from. This first aid information is pharmaceutically relevant and our customers know that if they have a crisis they can go to our calendar to find out what they need to know.”

Chris Piggott
Blackbutt Pharmacy, New Lambton NSW

"The Holder Pharmacy has been purchasing the Pharmacy Guild calendar for over ten years now. We believe it to be an extremely successful promotional item. It is an everyday reminder of the business while providing a free service for our customers. Customers believe it to be a useful, attractive and practical calendar, being a compact item and providing plenty of space for recording important appointments, details and events. The new twelve-page calendar is attractive and was preferred over the single page. I like to support The Pharmacy Guild in this way. The price of the calendars is very reasonable and we use it ourselves for Staff Rosters and highlighting important dates."

Karen Minty
Holder Pharmacy, Holder ACT 

“I’ve been purchasing The Guild calendar since 1995 but I know the previous owner was buying them before then. We buy them because value wise the calendars have proven to be more popular than anything else. Our customers always ask for it and they like it because of the large squares that give them lots of room to write important notes. The calendar is then used regularly and is a constant reminder of our business.”

John Dowling
Coventry Pharmacy, Latrobe TAS

“I’ve been purchasing calendars for over 30 years. I have bought and sold over 27 pharmacies and always purchased The Guild calendars. They have always worked very well and we have had a huge demand for them. Even in a small place like Katherine, where the average age of my customers is 28, the calendars are growing in popularity. People have always commented on the fact that they are simple, clear, have large numbers and plenty of room for people to write on and the medical information is important as well.”

Kerry Bradshaw
Katherine Pharmacy, Katherine NT 

“We’ve been purchasing The Pharmacy Guild calendar for over 30 years now. We find it is the least amount of money we have to spend for a highly effective form of advertising. Our name is with our customers for 365 days of the year and our customers love them. They use them like a diary to remind themselves about everyday things such as when they need to pay electricity, get haircuts etc. We have never found the need to try anything else but when we have done newspaper ads, radio announcements or pens, they all pale into insignificance. The Guild calendar services our needs perfectly.”

Pharmacy 149, Geraldton WA

Just opened my copy of the calendar. It look great. Well done.
It's nice to know that the internet hasn't completely erased some of the traditional and functional items in our lives!!

Prior to Christmas my local pharmacy gave me one of your Pharmacy Guild calendars. When I read all the information on the reverse side I wanted 2 more to give to my daughter and daughter-in-law. Unfortunately when I went back to the pharmacy to see if I could buy 2 more they were out of them.

Finally after investigation I rang your number in Brisbane. A very polite lass attended to me and in 3 days I received your calendars. After all this trouble all I wanted to say is "thank you" for your kindness and generosity and the world would be a better place if there were more like you!

Yours in appreciation,

Excerpt from feedback form from Hartwell Pharmacy:
