It’s the little details that make your customers feel appreciated. When a package arrives with thoughtful extras and personal touches, it creates a lasting connection and shows how much you care. At Vervante, we can help you elevate every shipment with: A printed notecard or letter with your message A custom logo sticker or branded message on the shipping box QR codes that link to a welcome page, thank-you video, or special offer — added to your sticker, notecard, or even the first page of your product. A bit of gift wrapping, like tissue or crinkle paper, for a polished unboxing experience Bookmarks — choose from standard printed bookmarks or snap-in styles for wire-o or spiral-bound products Supplied items such as pens, bookmarks, or branded office supplies that we can include as a thank-you or bonus item A die-cut sticker for personal use — because who doesn’t love a fun sticker? These thoughtful touches make your products memorable and turn every shipment into an experience your customers will want to share.

At Vervante, we love helping our customers create meaningful connections with their buyers. The little details — a thank you note, branded sticker, or thoughtful packaging — can make a big impact. One of the easiest and most effective ways to add that personal touch is by including QR codes on your products and shipments. QR codes are small, powerful, and simple to use. They connect your printed product to your online world, creating a seamless experience that keeps your customers engaged long after they open the box. Easy Ways to Use QR Codes Here are a few creative ways to use them: On the shipping box: Add a branded sticker with a QR code so your customers can scan it before they even open the package. It’s a great way to say “thank you,” give them a sneak peek, or direct them to a welcome video or message. On your notecard or letter: Include a QR code on your printed thank-you or welcome letter to lead customers to a personal video, resource page, or exclusive offer. On your product: Print a QR code on the cover page of your planner, workbook, or journal that links to tutorials, bonus downloads, or your community page. Why QR Codes Are So Popular QR codes have become a go-to marketing and engagement tool for creators and small businesses — and it’s easy to see why: Instant connection: Customers can instantly access videos, pages, and resources that extend their experience with your brand. Trackable results: You can see how often your codes are scanned and learn more about how your customers engage. Affordable and easy: They’re quick to generate, easy to print, and work beautifully on stickers, inserts, or product pages. Professional and polished: Adding a QR code shows that your brand is modern, organized, and intentional about customer experience. QR codes may be small, but they’re powerful tools for adding value, encouraging engagement, and making your brand unforgettable. At Vervante, we can help you add QR codes to stickers, packaging, notecards, and even the products themselves — giving every order a personal, professional touch that keeps customers coming back.

Have you ever ordered something and when you open the box what you find is so much more than expected? Just picture it: Colorful tissue paper bundled around the product and with fun extras tucked around the edges like stickers, cards, bookmarks, magnets and more! This is something we like to call the "Etsy" experience. It's that extra touch that makes buying from independent sellers so unique, and it's what turns customers into loyal fans that come back again and again. No matter whether you sell on Etsy, Amazon, or through your own website or the Vervante Bookstore, we can help you create a memorable experience for your customers where everything seems homemade and shipped to them with personal attention, care and creativity. Let's say that someone orders a book, planner, or journal from you. Starting with that, you add special packaging that fits your brand, like a custom-printed box or color-coordinated tissue paper wrapping. Next, tuck in a few extra products that complement the main item, like bookmarks, stickers, writing pens, notepads, or unique cards. Top it all off with ribbon ties and a hand-written note for a fun, hand-crafted “Etsy” type experience. Who knows? You might even end up seeing your product as the star in a social media “unboxing” episode! Here at Vervante, we can help you add extras to your packages as we ship each order. Here are some ideas of what we've seen our customers include:  Mini blank journals Bookmarks or postcards Logo decals Branded calendars, notecards or notepads Fliers sharing new products, classes or events Hats, t-shirts, exercise bands, etc. Recipe cards Certificates Crystals in colored bags The "extras" you decide to include in your shipments can be items created and published by Vervante such as bookmarks, postcards, audio CDs, etc. Or they can be supplied products, such as decals, t-shirts, hats, etc, that you send to us and we store in our warehouse until you need them.  For more ideas, be sure to read our article, "How to add bonus items to customer shipments." To learn how supplied items work and the procedure for sending them to us, see "How to send supplied items to Vervante." If you have any questions about how you can create a unique custom experience for your shipments, please reach out to our team. We can't wait to see what fun extras you decide to your customers will love!
