5 Things Your Day Planner
MUST Include — if it’s gonna sell.
When you’re creating a custom product like a planner from scratch,
these are five things you need to make sure you include.
(Don’t worry — we’re talking about the fun stuff!)
You’re a dreamer — you wouldn’t have started a business if you weren’t.
And, when you’re in your lane, you can move with lightning speed — but outside that familiar “comfort zone of genius”? It’s slow going.
Too many visionaries get the wind knocked outta their sails when they don’t know where to start.
But — the world needs your big idea.
What’s more?
Your people need it.
Here at Copper Bottom Design Co., we believe small businesses can make a huge impact on people’s day-to-day lives, livelihoods, and long-term visions.
So we dig in with creative, imaginative, innovative business owners (that’s you!) to bring your vision for beautiful, user-friendly day planners & products over the finish line.
Hear that?
That’s the race horn saying it’s go time.
When your dreams are too big to fit on your already-full plate, it’s time to call in the experts.
Plus, you know yourself — DIY isn’t a route that’s served you well in the past.
(Looking at you: wallpaper, TikTok skincare trends, and quarantine haircuts.)
We’ll help you . . .
Nail down your vision and chart your course to success, including everything from designing your page layouts to mitigating hangups in the import process.
Make informed decisions for your product line — like how many planners to order, what paper to choose, and what features will help people use it better.
Prepare to market & sell your new day planner with ease by focusing on serving your people instead of stalking delivery updates.
We’re on board with whatever you’re doing.
We love when our clients have ideas they think might be crazy — they’re usually not.
It’s our mission to be your go-to person for a good “Yes, and . . . ” moment.
Confidence
We’ve been at this for a long time — so while each client is different, the process is second nature to us. We’ll help you make the best decisions for your business. We’ll guide you every step of the way, and we’re always here to answer any questions that may come up.
Honesty
We want you to succeed — so we’ll tell you the truth, no matter what. Most times that means helping your ideas go from good to great, with minor adjustments. Plus, we bring years of observing trends & measuring success to the table — and you get to draw on that knowledge.
Encouragement
Being a small business owner means doing a lot yourself, and DIY gets old . . . and lonely. But, when you work with us we’re invested right alongside you. (Once a Type A Overachiever, always a Type A Overachiever, right?) Long story short: you’ll always have a friend here.

Navigating from dream to day planner — without getting lost.
When you work with Copper Bottom Design Co. to design & produce your planner, here’s what you can expect:
one
We SET our sights on your horizon — while staying steady over the waves.
We’ll go over your goals for your business and understand how creating a planner is part of your big picture. Supporting your long-term goals is one of the key elements of our process.
two
We help you DESIGN the perfect day planner.
Together we’ll develop a thoughtful and beautiful prototype that aligns with your goals, and we’ll fine-tune it until you have the perfect product with all the features you’ve been dreaming about.
three
We MANAGE every part of the production process.
Last — but certainly not least! — we’ll prep your planner for print & (if you choose) oversee the entire production process so you don’t have to worry about any of those nitty-gritty details.
I’m Heather — a planner aficionado and lover of all things paper.
I founded Copper Bottom Design Co. in 2016 because I wanted to see more small business owners succeed by creating the day planners & product lines they were dreaming about.
My previous career in paper goods gave way to a mastery of overseas production, but working with major brands just wasn’t doin’ it for me, ya know?
So I set my sights on the dreamers & folks with big “why’s” behind their brands . . . and the rest is history.
Work with Copper Bottom Design Co.
The work we do for our clients is the highlight of our careers — and we’ve had pretty cool careers, tbh. Whether designing your products or managing your manufacturing (or both!), we’re here to be a sounding board & support system around every corner.
Read the Success Stories
Our clients are so great . . . *cheesy proud grin* . . . *snaps out of it* For real, we’re unapologetically proud of our people — like Dance Moms but without the drama. We love bragging all about their accomplishments, so pop over and peruse our portfolio to learn what could be in store for you.
“Just working with Heather lifts a weight off of my shoulders. The peace of mind that comes from knowing if I missed something, she’s on top of it — it’s priceless.”
