If you’re like us, as the New Year approaches it’s very exciting to think about new projects and new possibilities. But one thing we like to take a moment for as well is to reflect on the past year. Celebrate, learn, and take what we’ve experienced to make our future even better.
As we move forward, we thought it would be fun to invite you to look back with us at some of the best of what we put out this year - new products, enhanced services, and ideas that can help you share your talents in a bigger way. So here's our Best of 2021, wrapped up with a sparkly bow!
#1 Author / Entrepreneur Empowerment
Our bottom line is to help the people we work with succeed, so we are always looking for new ways to educate and empower our customers. During the past year we posted even more guides, how-to's, and instructions to help you take action, turn your ideas into products, and make the process as easy and lucrative as possible.
#2 New Product Debuts We are always listening to your ideas and looking for new ways to provide what you want and need. This year we were excited to debut many new items that can either stand alone, or make your current products even better.
#3 Information You Need
Knowledge is power and we did our best to share the latest and make sure you stayed informed. From ideas to help authors connect with customers to printing best practice and beyond, our team did their best to make sure you are always ahead of the game.
#4 Planners Still Rule Planning for the future is always fun, and this year planners continued to rule as one of the hottest products to create, sell, and share. We spent a lot of time on planner education this year in order to give you everything you need to create planners (and journals!) that help your customers find the success they deserve.
Here’s to starting 2022 in a memorable and exciting way! We'd love to know what your thoughts and wishes are for the New Year, so please feel free to email us at [email protected] with your ideas to help us serve you best.
If you’ve thought about adding calendars to the products you share or sell, we can help you make that happen. While calendars are great for New Year gifts or retail sales products – you can also create undated calendars that can be shared or sold all year round. They are easy to design, budget-friendly to print, and you can fill them with content that fits your brand or message.
We're excited to share that we've now added a new free expert guide to our online resource library that's all about calendars and you can access and download it any time here: Vervante Expert Guides Page.
We offer a variety of calendar styles so you can create and share the type that fits your vision best.
TEAR-OFF CALENDAR
Tear-off calendars contain daily messages printed in full color on a tear-off pad. Perfect for display on a desk or countertop, these make great gifts and are popular retail sales items. We’ve created a sample tear-off calendar that you can customize and use or sell as your own.
WALL CALENDAR
Saddle stitch or spiral-bound, these classic calendars can also come with Wire-o binding and hook for hanging. Use your own images, create your own message or content, and you’ve got something everyone loves to use all year long.
PLANNERS
If you love daily planners (and who doesn’t?) we’ve got everything you need to create the planner of your dreams. Dated or undated, hard cover or soft cover, with every function, feature and fun extra you want, we’ve got the experience and resources you are looking for. Be sure to check out our Video Vault for live overviews of many different types of planners, and ideas, inspiration and how-to’s to create something spectacular. We also offer samples, and ready-made planners that you can add your branding or logo to and sell as your own.
DESKTOP CALENDAR
This is a full color, 2-sided calendar printed on sturdy stock paper that comes with its own jewel case stand. Easy to create, you can fill this calendar with images and content that offer everything from motivation to inspiration to pure entertainment.
POCKET CALENDAR
A small calendar that’s great for on-the-go, this is designed with monthly spreads and notes pages. It includes 36 pages with 12 monthly spreads and 12 notes pages, and with saddle-stitch binding for easy use.
