Customer Joy

by Michael Wilkes May 27, 2017

I feel very lucky to have a customer like Sallie Duncan. She wrote an effusive review of my product and shared her joy at finding it. I go back to read it from time to time just for the sheer energy she gives me as a product creator…

"This. This is the most perfect, most beautiful notebook EVER. I absolutely love this journal! … I use this journal at work, and it brings me so much joy. If you love leather, get this. If you love classy things, get this. If you love a notebook/journal/diary that opens easily and lays flat: BUY THIS!!! You need this journal in your life. Seriously, I could hug this thing. The details on the cover are well done, and the entire journal is a pleasure to have and write in… I love it! I am so glad that I bought this. That’s right. I bought it. I didn’t get it for free, didn’t get it as a gift, I was online shopping and found this beauty on my own somehow and made the decision to buy it. I am so glad that I did!
Go on. You know you want it/need it. You will not regret this purchase!"

Sallie — wherever you are — thank you so much for being a customer and sharing your joy with the world!

How is your current journal working for you? We're more apt to pull out our notebooks when we enjoy working in them. Choosing a blank notebook that's well suited to the kind of journaling you do is key. Think about things like:

What kind of binding works best for the kind of journaling you do?
What kind of cover not only works well but speaks to you?
What's the best size blank notebook to buy?

If you take a little time to mull over your journal preferences beforehand, you'll be able to find a blank notebook that perfectly suits your needs.
