What is Print on Demand | How Print on Demand Works

by Vervante •

Not sure what print on demand means? We get asked this question a lot, and we're happy to share more about how Vervante provides Print on Demand services to help authors, entrepreneurs, business owners and more share and sell books and products on their own terms.

Printing on Demand (POD) uses digital printing methods to print books and other products only in the amount needed, when they are needed. While other publishing companies may require costly minimum orders in large numbers, here at Vervante we offer Print on Demand services for any size order, printing only when you need it, to meet your budget and demand.

How does Print on Demand work?

An order is placed for a book or other product. We print the exact amount ordered. The order is then shipped to the customer. It’s that simple.

For example:

  • If you list your book for sale on your website and a customer orders one book, we print one book and ship it to your customer.
  • If you have a speaking event coming up and need 25 books, we will print 25 books and send them to you.

Print on Demand pricing

For books or products printed on demand with Vervante, you pay only the cost of printing plus postage for shipping. With Vervante’s Print on Demand services, there are no set-up fees, no monthly minimums, no management fees and no minimum run lengths.

Why use Print on Demand?

No more garages filled with towering boxes of books, gathering dust and taking up space until your customers order them. No more late nights assembling shipping packages, filling them with orders and packing materials, then adding each unique address. No more hours spent in line at the post office trying to figure out postage and best shipping methods for each order. No more waste. And no more stress!

Author Spotlight: Diane Windsor

by Vervante •

We're constantly amazed by the clever, unique, brilliant and beautiful books and products our customers create. Today we’d like to introduce you to publisher Diane Windsor (pictured) and her client Julie Samrick's book, Murphy's Miracle.

The story behind Diane and Julie's journey

Publisher Diane WindsorQ: What inspired Julie to write this book?

Murphy's Miracle - One Dog's Wild Journey is based on a true story. Julie's friends' dog, Murphy, was missing in the El Dorado National Forest for almost two years, and then was miraculously found! Julie fictionalized what may have happened to Murphy during the time she was missing.

Q: What advice would you give for others who are thinking of writing a book?

As a publisher, I'm responsible for editing, formatting, cover design, etc. But the most difficult part is marketing. You can have the best book ever written available, but if people don't know about it, it won't sell. It's so important to develop a marketing plan that includes multiple strategies. And it's important to be creative - think out of the box when it comes to marketing! For example, when Murphy's Miracle was released I partnered with our local animal shelter, and it benefitted both of us. Also, marketing is a long-term part of publishing a book. It's not only at launch, but for as long as the book is available. 

Q: What do you and Julie love most about this book?

The story is all about never losing hope. The Brauns, Murphy's family, never gave up that she'd come home one day. Also, I love the cover. That's an actual picture of Murphy, and I love it! 

About "Murphy's Miracle"

Murphy Braun is a five-year-old golden retriever who loves her family, and loves doing everything with them. This includes going on camping trips in the beautiful ElDorado National Forest. But one camping trip didn’t go as planned. Murphy was lost in the forest; no matter how hard her family searched, they couldn’t find her. She spent many months alone in the wilderness, fighting to survive. Will her family ever find her?

Author Spotlight: Shira Gura

by Vervante •

We're constantly amazed by the clever, unique, brilliant and beautiful books and products our customers create. Today we’d like to introduce you to Shira Gura, Creator of The S.T.U.C.K. Method®, author of the award-winning book Getting unSTUCK: Five Simple Steps to Emotional Well-Being, and host of the Getting Unstuck podcast. Shira shares her inspiration for creating a unique card deck that works in harmony with her book and in helping people to embrace her teachings and get unstuck. 

The story behind Shira's Consideration Cards

Q: What inspired you to create this card deck?

I actually originally had an idea to write another book, "365 Considerations," but then I realized a few things: a) card decks are "in" now, b) using cards is a unique and different way to work with Getting Unstuck than a book, c) card decks are portable, accessible, and effective in any moment, whereas books are more of a "shelf" thing once you are done reading them, and d) they would be great giveaways or add value to a course I offer.

Q: What advice would you give for others creating card decks (or any other type of product)?

Varying your products is important. It helps build your brand and it gives the impression to your customer that your brand is serious and growing.  

Q: What do you love about this product?

I love that the cards are versatile, that I can give them as gifts, that they can be used in a variety of ways (both personally and professionally), and best of all, I love that people are buying them!!

About Consideration Cards

The S.T.U.C.K. Method® is a self-coaching tool that empowers you to get “unstuck” from emotionally challenging situations in your life and in your relationships. There are five steps to the method: S=Stop, T=Tell, U=Uncover, C=Consider, and K=OK. While the steps are not necessarily always easy to implement when in the midst of a “stuck” situation, they are simple and illustrate the possibility of being able to flow from a place of emotional turmoil and distress, to a place of clarity and inner peace in any moment.

This deck includes 52 concise, yet powerful, Consideration Cards as a support to get you unSTUCK.

The 4th step in The S.T.U.C.K. Method®, “C” for “consider,” guides you to become less reactive and more deliberate in challenging life situations by pondering alternate viewpoints. The Consideration Cards are meant to be used in conjunction with The S.T.U.C.K. Method® to help you broaden your perspective, heighten your curiosity, and reflect on suggestions from an objective source. When you are struggling to cope, these cards can guide and support you, and prompt you to redirect your focus.

Getting unstuck is not a one-stop process, but rather a skill that is cultivated through continuous repeated practice.
