When we look back on the positive and negative events which have shaped the world over recent years there is normally a lot the media has influenced for some reason, perhaps by bringing these events to our notice or by developing a lot of hype around something or someone in order that we simply cannot forget it. Once such event, in the recent past, which affected a lot of music lovers was the death of Michael Jackson, accepted as one of the biggest musical talents ever.

So what persuades people to pick the Michael Jackson calendar? Well there are many reasons, perhaps to help his memory to live on, maybe to reach 12 good quality pictures of the star at his best or possibly because they want a little part of history. With a lot of diverse fans around the globe, spanning many age brackets it is not surprising that even after his death there would be some much interest in Michael Jackson merchandise.

Another event which the media has brought to our attention recently is the effects of climate change and particularly the melting of the glaciers which was highlighted within the recent David Attenborough television series Frozen Planet, so again it's not surprising the Frozen Plant calendar continues to be another popular calendar this year.

This series not just made people think seriously about the impact we humans are having on our planet it also featured some gorgeous scenery and footage of animals, planet lift and people who are living in the coldest parts of our world. The Frozen Planet calendar features twelve such images and therefore those who are enthusiastic about wildlife and enjoy investigating scenic photographs could be persuaded to purchase this item.

So when you are considering the factors that persuade people to purchase the Michael Jackson calendar and other calendars, the top of list is often the media influence, events which have taken place recently, current movies or television programmes and celebrities that are making headlines.
