3 Reasons to Invest in Custom Digital Planner Design Services
Do you have a signature method that your Instagram followers, YouTube comments, or 1:1 clients keep begging you to share? No matter what your industry is, if you're a service provider, chances are you've created some kind of system that allows you to reach your goals quickly and without feeling overwhelmed.
A great way to diversify your income and keep your clients happy even when you're booked months in advance is to take your signature method and turn it into a digital planner! A digital planner is nearly the exact same thing as a physical planner – but it can be easily accessed on all your electronic devices, customized, and is typically cheaper than a multi-page paper planner.
Digital planners are a great source of passive income because you don't have to worry about shipping logistics, your products ever going out of stock, or a super-high expense bill at the end of the month. You can get started selling digital planners without even adding any extra work to your plate!
That's where custom digital planner design services come into play – a professional graphic designer will take your ideas, methods, and dreams and turn it into a tangible product! So what is involved? Why should you invest? Let's answer these two questions and dive into three reasons why you'll never regret investing in a professional designer to create a one-of-a-kind digital planning experience.
What is a digital planner designer?
A custom digital planner designer is a graphic designer who has experience creating beautiful and functional designs for clients that attract a specific target audience and helps a brand market its business – all through the power of digital planners.
Working with a custom stationery designer means that you'll typically approach them when you have an idea or signature method that you need to turn into a ready-to-sell epic planner. This can be anything from a weekly planner to a planner filled with mini lists – such as a grocery list, packing list, and even a bucket list! The sky is the limit when it comes to all the kinds of beautiful planners and pages you can create!
The art of planner design services comes down to the collaboration that happens between you (the client) and the designer. So what happens when you hire a planner designer? Together you'll dive into your target audience, validate your ideas, create an actionable plan, design your planner, and package it into an attractive and functional finished product that you can list for sale on your website or in your Etsy shop!
Working with a digital planner designer doesn't mean starting with a template and building off of a pre-made design, it's something that you can fully customize to fit your brand. And in addition to creating your digital planner, a digital planner designer is happy to provide you with long-term support that can include mockups, stickers, notebooks, and social media images so that you can launch an online shop confidently!
Some designers even offer the option of having your signature planner updated every year to fit the new dates and calendars for each month – this means that you'll have an up-to-date, completely custom planner for years to come without it ever giving you a headache or taking up too much room on your to-do list!

Why should you hire a custom planner designer?
As we've touched on, hiring a professional will save you the time, learning curve, and lack of confidence that comes with learning something new. Let's break down these three reasons further...
Reason #1 - You can focus on your 1:1 clients
Do you feel like you're at full capacity serving your clients on a personal level? Maybe you're working 9-5 every day and it doesn't feel like you have a spare second to go reheat your cup of coffee, let alone breathe. You're working hard and yet have a bigger vision for your business, but you're not sure how to make it a reality.
The truth is – you don't have the time to add another task to your to-do list. The time it takes to learn how to use Affinity Publisher (or learn what that even is), let alone design an entire planner, double-check it for mistakes, link all the pages together, set up your online shop, and test out your products just isn't realistic. There aren't enough hours in the day!
Working with a custom planner designer means that you just have to pass on your ideas, fill out a questionnaire, then be available to provide feedback. This allows you to focus on your 1:1 clients while someone else handles the responsibility of designing your signature digital planner.
Reason #2 - You don't need to take the time to learn yet another skill
Designing a digital planner means learning something new. This would include...
Researching what popular programs you want to use to design your digital planner
Learning how the design program works
Learning how to build an epic planner in the program you've chosen
Understanding hyperlinking and adding links to your planner
Testing, exporting, and packaging the digital files that make up your planner
This translates to hours spent adjusting to the learning curve to perfect a skill that may not be in your zone of genius. Working with a custom digital planner designer allows you to skip the time you'd spend on all these steps and jump head first into the strategy and design phases!
Reason #3 - You're hiring an expert you can trust
Custom stationery designers have spent a lot of time in the online space. They know what works and what doesn't. There's no trial and error involved in hiring an expert! Not only will an expert designer create your planner, but you have the opportunity to ask all your digital planning questions and have them answered by an expert.
