If you love Disc Bound Planners, we’ve got great news – we can help you create a disc bound planner of your own!
You’ve likely seen these types of planners offered by popular systems including Arc, Martha Stewart, Inkwell Press, and Happy Planner. Now you can add your own business to that group.
What is Disc Binding?
Disc bound planners have a unique, attractive look, but they are also highly functional, easy to use and adapt to so many different features. (In the photo here you can see one we've created.)
Disc binding combines the concept of a 3-ring binder with spiral binding. Your product will function like a spiral notebook but instead of using a continuous wire that permanently binds the content, the binding is composed of small round discs with a small lip on the edge that holds pages together. Pages for disc-bound products are specially punched in a unique way so that they hang onto the discs and can be easily added or removed.
Using disc binding, you can have multiple covers, page formats, and accessories, allowing you to create a custom planner ideal for your lifestyle.
Why we love Disc Binding 1. Highly customizable: You can add, remove, and rearrange pages to your heart’s content - and customers can too!

Printing Options
One of the first things you should think about is printing methods. When it comes to the print and publishing world, becoming familiar with printing terms like POD, MOQ, Bulk Printing, or Free-Plus Shipping is a great way to minimize confusion and help you make the right decisions for budgeting, printing and sales down the line.
The right printing choice for you depends on a number of things – your business model, your budget, the type of product, and your customers, to name a few. Check out the following articles to learn more about how each works and the benefits they offer.
How to sell from Amazon, Etsy, or your own website
Amazon is often the first place you may think of for buying books. Etsy is the place people go to for creative products like notepads, card decks, and daily planners. But that doesn’t mean they are the ONLY places you can sell your books and products. In fact, the best place to sell online can often be from your very own website! The benefits of listing your product on Amazon and Etsy are real, but selling online does not have to be an all-or-nothing choice.
With Vervante, you can have it all by selling on all three!
We recommend that you use your own website and shopping cart as your primary sales location. Then, add Amazon or Etsy as secondary sales solutions. Selling through your own website/shopping cart (or Vervante’s Online Bookstore if you don't have or want to process credit cards), means more profit, control and connection with your readers. Even if people don’t buy right away, by directing them to your website you’ve got a chance to create a connection, offer a free download, or opt into your newsletter. Anything that will put them on the path to staying connected, becoming more involved, and eventually become loyal fans that support your long-term success.
Next, adding Amazon and/or Etsy as secondary sales options is a great way to help people discover you and your products. That first sale on Amazon or Etsy is like an introduction that you can follow up with strategic communications that invite them to become a part of your tribe.

Understanding fulfillment & shipping
Fulfillment is a very important part of the publishing process. Fulfillment is what happens from the time that an order is placed until it arrives at its destination. Our fulfillment services bring you decades of industry expertise, reliable resources and flexibility in order to provide customized and easy-to-use solutions for your fulfillment needs. Please see the articles listed here for a complete rundown of how fulfillment, order processing and shipping works.
How Vervante can help you stay in touch with customers
We want you to know who your customers are - and how to contact them again. What really makes us one-of-a-kind in this industry is our desire for you to build and grow the most valuable asset for your business - your email subscriber list. Staying in touch with your customers directly is the key to internet marketing success.
The only way to capture this critical customer data is for you to sell the book from a site you control, while still getting all the benefits of Amazon, other resellers and wholesalers, by using them as secondary sales options. Here's how we do it:
You sell from your site and we'll print and ship the book/product to your customer. You keep more of the profits, capture all customer info, and we take care of the rest.
You can use ANY shopping cart, all we need is a copy of the order confirmation email.
Love Amazon? We do too! That's why we also list your books on Amazon as an alternative sales channel for a best-of-both-worlds solution.
