A New Year means new exciting plans for your business. And likely a wish list of great products you’d like to create to go with them, right?
We’ve got the products, oh yeah, but we’ve also got a few neat tricks to share for cutting costs, streamlining your new offerings, and giving you some much-deserved breathing room. Let’s talk about Bulk Orders, Warehouse Storage, and full-service Fulfillment services.
Bulk Orders: The more you order, the greater the discount, so be sure to consider bulk orders when planning for product launches, large events, or even long-term promotions. Even if you’re not sending them out right away, our warehousing services (see below) set you up for a win-win situation. Lower printing costs, storage, and quick, professional fulfillment when you need it. Remember, bulk orders aren’t just for books – we can also print large orders of CDs, DVDs, journals, bookmarks, cards, etc. Check out this article for details about bulk ordering.
Warehouse Storage: We offer storage and inventory management in our modern, secure warehouse, keeping them safe and sound until you’re ready to send them out into the world. Plus, if you’ve got extras that you’d like packaged with your products, you can send those to us, too. Our clients send us everything from nutritional supplements (we’re FDA-approved!) to t-shirts, bike pedals, juicers and blenders, you name it. Once they are ready to go, our professional fulfillment services take over.
Full-service Fulfillment: No matter where you or your customers are, if we have your products printed and in stock in our warehouse, we can assemble and ship your books or products within 24-48 hours all year long. Save time, money, stress!

As you plan for a New Year and new products, we are amazed again at the ongoing popularity of adult coloring books as marketing and revenue resources. We’ve talked about how to create coloring books, and why they are good for supporting your business. But how do you know that they are good for your business?
The answer can be found by taking a look at your clients and customers. Who is your target audience? And what do they need solved? If the benefits of coloring books are a good fit for the products, programs and services you provide, then you should take a closer look.
According to Medical Daily, adult coloring books have multiple health benefits, including:
Helping dementia and Alzheimer’s patients engage with the outside world
Lowering blood pressure
Training your brain to focus better
Dealing with PTSD and stress
Or how about using them as meditation? Yes, that’s right. According to a CNN article, researchers at Johns Hopkins University and even editors of Yoga Journal suggesting coloring can be used as an alternative to meditation. Other benefits include creativity, expression, brainstorming, relaxation, health, education and more.
If you’re ready to create coloring books for your business, here’s one more tip. Make them even more special by adding pens, pencils and other extras such as stickers, tote bags, cards, calendars or bookmarks. Another great idea we've seen is to create audio CDs packaged with coloring books that feature music or meditations you can listen to while coloring.

Here at Vervante, we’re fortunate to have clients from all over the world. We love how unique each one is – and the amazing variety they bring to the products we help them create. When products cross borders, however, often the “standards” are very different. Let’s look at one of the most common conversion scenarios – the standard letter size.
Here in the U.S. and Canada, standard letter size is 8.5 x 11 inches.
International users have a standard called A4, which is slightly thinner and longer, at 21 x 29.7cm (8.25 x 11.67 inches).
The image shows very simply the difference. Most of the time, if you are sharing digital products such as ebooks, pdfs, or download of any kind, this isn’t an issue. But for products that are printed it can cause problems.
If you have customers in other countries, or you are based internationally, they will love you for thinking of them when you create your next products. We can print in A4 size for any of our products that need it, including hard cover and paperback books, spiral training manuals, binders and tabs, journals, note cards, stationery, and more. It’s easy to make the change. Questions? Need help? Email us at [email protected] and we’ll help you get it done.
