How do magnetic calendars attach to surfaces and what surfaces are best?

The ideal surfaces for these calendars are smooth, flat, and made of ferromagnetic materials, ensuring the magnets have a strong grip. Optimal locations include the front of a refrigerator, metal filing cabinets, magnetic whiteboards, or any steel doors or walls. These surfaces not only provide excellent support but also allow for easy relocation of the calendar whenever necessary, combining convenience with functionality.
