Maybe you really like a handwritten grocery note or daily to-do\nlist, too. I still have the diaries my great-grandmother wrote in on a daily\nbasis.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JournalBooks was started in the early 90s as a division of Timeplanner Calendars, Inc. which was founded in 1971 by Jerry O\u2019Boyle to sell branded calendars. Jerry\u2019s six sons eventually took the reins of the business and were determined to grow. Timeplanner has earned a reputation for quality and customization. In the 90s, a customer approached them, asking if they could make a journal. They had the paper and the wire spiral – so why not? Their journals took off, and now they do customizable journals in every shape, size, and color! <\/p>\n\n\n\n And that’s what’s really cool about JournalBooks – the\ncovers of their journals are your canvas. You can imprint your logo or artwork\non them, die cut almost any shape, emboss, foil stamp, and more, all in their\nfacility in North Carolina. Plus, the quality control is out of this world!\nThey empower every single one of their employees to speak up if they’re\nuncomfortable with something during the process or if they don’t think\nsomething is working so they can go back to the drawing board to give you and\nyour customers the best product possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their sales team is also made up of trained graphic\ndesigners – meaning as soon as you make an order, you’ll be connected with one\nof your designers to make the journal of your dreams! <\/p>\n\n\n\n As always, I like to ask what they do to give back to\nthe community – and oh boy, JournalBooks does a lot! Oftentimes, they’ll have\noff cuts from die cuts. Josh brought out a small, shoebox-sized tub full of the\noffcuts. They donate them to local schools & organizations for crafts, to\nhelp kids learn counting, and more. For many years Journalbooks has been\nsupporting organizations such as Classroom Central, Samaritan\u2019s Purse &\nOperation Christmas Child, Circle Camps, Second Harvest food bank just to name\na few. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond all the amazing things that they do, they’re\ngenuinely some of the nicest people I have met in my time interviewing supplier\ncompanies. They’re so welcoming and even invited me out to see their facilities\nsoon! If you haven’t worked with JournalBooks already (SAGE #50031), be sure to\ncheck them out here<\/a>!
