As we celebrate Independence Day here in the United States, we wanted to give you a peek behind the scenes of our operations here at Vervante to let you know of our pride and commitment to the people, places and products we are fortunate to have right here in the United States of America.
While some companies outsource or have taken production out of the country, Vervante is here to stay and planning on many more decades of providing you with the best of service right here here from our home. All of our books and products are printed, bound, warehoused and assembled for distribution in the USA. Our operations are based in the heart of Utah, with more than 12,000 square-feet of warehousing, fulfillment centers, and administrative space dedicated to meeting our customers’ needs.
Independence is at the heart of what we do and we feel ourselves fortunate to work with people from all over the world to help them create independence in their businesses and their lives by creating products that support their goals and dreams.
Happy Independence Day from us to you, no matter where you are!
As we were reading an article from Richard Branson last week, this stood out: “No matter how big, small, simple or complex an idea is, get it in writing. But don’t just take notes for the sake of taking notes, go through your ideas and turn them into actionable and measurable goals. If you don’t write your ideas down, they could leave your head before you even leave the room.”
His article, titled “Why everyone should be taking notes,” made us think of one of our favorite products – planners! If ever there was a product perfect for taking notes and turning them into actionable goals these are it.
Late last year we debuted a 2018 Planner that could be customized or used as is and sell as your own. Your response made us sit up and pay attention because, wow, did you love it! Your creativity in customizing everything from the cover and images to the content and layout inside really got our wheels turning. That’s why we’re starting much earlier this year.
We’ve designed two ready-to-use planners, (pictured here), that can be your secret weapon for personal, business and revenue growth. They are unique 18-month planners that start in July 2018 and take you all the way through 2019. (If you want to launch in Jan 2019, though, no problem. We will remove the months you don’t want.)
Just think – seasonal or end-of-year promotions, new year debuts, and long-term goal tracking can be planned, tracked and recorded in one (gorgeous!) place.
We’ve designed our 2018/2019 planners for universal appeal. They are 7” x 9”, have two cover designs that can be done in hard cover or soft cover, and are spiral bound to easily lay flat for reading and writing. And we’ve added even more inside with a mix of full-color and black-and-white pages that include:
As we said, you’re welcome to use these planners just as they are and sell as your own. (They make great gifts too!) But you can also customize to make them unique. One super easy idea is to add your logo to the back cover. But we can help you take it much farther than that! Last year we saw some very creative ideas, such as:
Inside pages: Create address/contact info pages, exercise and nutrition-trackers, recipe and shopping lists, journal pages, writing prompts, weekly mantras, and more.
Custom stickers: You can use our sticker template and easily revise them to fit your own brand.
Design new front or back covers or change the color scheme.

Finding a new way to stand out from the crowd is always a good thing, right? Email newsletters have become of the most reliable and profitable ways of connecting with new clients, nurturing current ones, and overall helping to grow a business. Which is why so many people use them – including us!
We love newsletters. In fact, we help a lot of our clients create newsletters that definitely stand out from the crowd – by creating PRINTED ones, that is!
One of the most powerful – and underused – marketing tools is the printed newsletter. Whether you are a small business with a humble list, or an established entrepreneur with a sizeable audience, there’s some serious power in the printed newsletter.
More effective than email, which is often quickly scanned and forgotten, a printed newsletter can be a valuable resource for the reader, who can save, reread and even share it with others.
Printed newsletters:
Have a higher perceived value and are better remembered and referred to later on
Give peace of mind that important info will reach readers without worrying about spam filters or accidental deletions
Encourage readers to connect to your message at a deeper, more emotional level
Impress customers and become treasured resources
Are perfect for special occasions or as “collector’s editions”
Can be shipped in clear or branded envelopes and include extras such as checklists, notepads, stickers, bookmarks, or other products that complement your message
Newsletters can be one page, a few pages, or even multiple-page booklets in black-and-white or full color.
If you’re interested in creating a printed newsletter, we can help. Just email your ideas or questions to us at [email protected] and we’ll send you a free quote and all the answers you need.
