Changing Dates on calendars

[Connie]

Are we allowed to use the Replace Product feature to change the year from 2022 to 2023 on Calendars? I made the year a template, but since it has 2022 on it, customers might not realize they can change it.

I’ve done it with other date sensitive items. I don’t see any reason a calendar would be different. 

[Connie]

Thank you.

[DesertSky]

Yes, I've done it on a calendar that I made many years ago without any problem.

[Connie]

Thank you very much.

Somewhere along the way, Zazzle suggested using "xx" in the date--for instance, 20xx instead of 2022. I've used it for quite a long time, and it works well. Just a thought for your future calendars so you don't ever have to worry about date changes.

I do that with most things, but sometimes for particular fonts the letters don't look good next to the numbers.

I know what you mean because I've hit the problem too. In that case, I've changed the font. Related to this is a bunch of poster-type calendars I recently dropped out of my products because I had to redo them every single year. "Enough!" I said, and out they went.

Sometimes I'll just make the year so far in advance that it's obvious that its a year that can be edited. If its 2082 or something, for example. I agree the 20XX doesn't look so good most of the time.

If using the x's, I've found lowercase letters often look better than uppercase with a number of the fonts.
