Great Ideas for Gratitude Gifts

by Vervante •

As you’re preparing for holiday launches, end-of-year products, and promotions for the New Year, don’t forget that it’s also a great time to think about ways to show your gratitude for the customers, fans, and followers that have helped make your business a success.

November and Thanksgiving will be here sooner than you know it, and how great would it be to have something special ready to go to show your gratitude? That’s why we rounded up some quick and easy ideas for showing special people how much they mean to you.

Gratitude Gift Ideas
Handwritten Cards or Letters: An email is nice, but the power of the handwritten letter is second to none. Take a moment to write a note or letter to show your gratitude. Writing on company letterhead will do, but to really make it special, create greeting cards, postcards, note cards or special stationery just for this occasion. Check out our online catalog for ideas that we can help you quickly create.

Certificates: Send something fun in the form of a personalized certificate they can hang on the wall, on the fridge, or for a laugh and a smile. We can help you create certificates with custom designs, then insert names or content to make them each unique. Check out this page or our catalog for more information.

Stickers: Who doesn't love stickers? If you like the idea of sending custom stickers with your own branding, design and message as gifts, we can help you create them. Learn more on our blog by reading "How to Create Your Own Stickers."

Door Hangers: These are easy to create and can be customized with any design. If you missed last week's newsletter about these fun products, check out the details and ideas on the blog here: "How to Create Custom Door Hangers"

Simple Gifts: Sending a small gift that is useful or uplifting is another great way to show your gratitude. We offer products like these listed below that can be customized by adding your logo, then sent as gifts. Check out our Samples Page to see everything we have to offer, then contact our publishing team for quotes and information at sales@vervante.com.

Gratitude doesn’t need a season, but we know that with Thanksgiving approaching here in the U.S. it’s definitely on everyone’s minds. As prep begins for holiday launch season, it's worth the time to take a moment and let people know how special they are.


How to Make Custom Door Hangers

by Vervante •

Looking for something new to add some pizzazz to your product line or create some fun discussions with your customers? How about creating custom Door Hangers? These are easy to create, you can customize with any design, can be printed single or 2-sided, are budget-friendly, and great for adding to just about any product – from books to planners to monthly subscriptions boxes.

Design Instructions
If you are interested in creating door hangers, you can request a copy of our templates by emailing sales@vervante.com. In addition, here are a few notes to help you during the design process:

  • The print-ready PDFs should NOT include the template, these are provided for spacing and die-cut hole placement as a guide when you create your artwork.
  • Since we use pre-cut 8.5x11" stock, the artwork cannot bleed on the outside edges.
  • A white border looks best.

How to add extras to your products and packaging
Adding fun extras to packages and programs is a great way to really help your products stand out. Many of our clients create fun items like this to add value and enhance the experience of their own customers. The secret to really impressing your customers is to choose items to add to your box that will complement and add value for products, programs, or events.

Here are some ideas of products we offer:

  • Door hangers
  • Postcards, note cards, or letters
  • Wallet card flash drive
  • Card decks
  • Golden tickets, coupons, or bookmarks
  • Notepads / Notebooks / Journals
  • Stickers

**(See our online catalog and product sample page for more ideas we can help you create)

In addition to items we print, you are also welcome to send us supplied items and our fulfillment service team can include them in your packages for you when we ship out your orders. Here is a sampling of some of the items our customers have sent us to include in their shipments:

  • Pens, pencils, markers
  • Apparel
  • Crystals
  • Bags for card decks
  • Tissue paper to wrap the planner/book/journal
  • Colored crinkle paper to sprinkle in the box
  • Athletic accessories (fitness bands, supplements, etc.)
  • Tote bags, pouches or pencil cases

Special boxed items that involve multiple parts need to be assembled, packaged and delivered just right. Here at Vervante, we provide the storage, assembly and shipping services you need to make sure everything goes together smoothly.

  1. Start by sending an email to sales@vervante.com for a free quote for any products you want us to produce for you.
  2. Let us know all of the products you plan on using, the box size and anything else you want for this project and we'll help you get set up.
  3. Better yet, put your head together with our CEO, Cindy Tyler, and she'll provide the advice you need for the box you want to create. (Schedule a phone call by clicking here)

It’s fun to receive a package, but it’s a much more exciting experience when it contains so much more than expected. Here’s to creative ideas that make someone's day!
