Why Custom Calculators Are Still Important

Recall your school days. Math lessons, in particular. If you’re like me, the prospect of days in stifling classrooms attempting to decipher algebra, equations, and statistics makes you sweat and break out.

I only survived those dark and awful days with my trusty pocket customizable calculator. 

Are customized calculators still relevant?

The modern world has everyone carrying a smartphone, so why do calculators exist? As is well known, your smartphone is hundreds of thousands of times more powerful than Apollo 11’s computing equipment. How can a pocket calculator compete with Apple, Samsung, Google, etc.?

Smartphones are both strong and weak.

If you cheat or your supervisor suspects you’re on social media or looking at cat gifs instead of working, using your phone in class, an exam, or at your desk at work might get you in trouble.

Remember that most smartphones need daily charging. Calculators have greater battery life. When you need to crunch numbers quickly and correctly, use a calculator.

A classic promotional gift

Personalized calculators are also retro. The 1980s pocket calculator style is quite enticing. Like the branded pen, they’re a marketing staple. People keep these pens, place them on their desks, and use them, creating a fantastic brand association.
