Planner-preneur - ShePlans with Andrea Seaver

We are so excited to share our next “Planner-preneur” with you!  In this ongoing series, we share an inside look at people from our community that have poured all their creativity and inspiration into a “planner-related” entrepreneurial venture. This time, we are talking to Andrea Seaver from @ShePlans.

Throughout the many seasons of her life, Andrea has always used a planner. From her college days, when she first found the planner community, until becoming a busy mom of five, she has tried a variety of options in search of planner peace. But after discovering the ShePlans brand (from an Amanda’s Favorite YouTube video), she fell in love with the beautiful Daily Sewn Planners which included a weekly overview page created by ShePlans founder, Ashley Staum. 

During 2020, while staying at home with their five children, Andrea and her husband were reminded that there is never a right time to go after what you want in life - “the time is now”. Then this July, Andrea got that opportunity when Ashley decided to sell the company but remain on as designer. Now, Andrea spends her free time planning launches, new products and more as the new owner of the ShePlans brand. She has a lot of exciting things planned for the brand starting with the launch of the calendar year planners (both discbound and sewn) for 2023. 

We chatted with Andrea all about ShePlans, her decision to pursue her dreams and juggling small business life with family life. Take a listen to our chat below: 

DISCBOUND PLANNERS 

For 2023, ShePlans will continue to offer the Half Letter Discbound system first introduced last Spring. There are three dated layout options available, Daily (with weekly overview), Weekly and 2-Day. In addition to the dated inserts, there are also Dot Grid Inserts, Habit Tracker Inserts as well as Lined Notes Inserts. The inserts are printed on 80 lb. paper and can be purchased in a specific punch preference (Levenger, Arc or Unpunched). The monthly divider tabs (sold separately) are in a soft muted color palette which coordinates with all the interchangeable covers. The four cover designs (Wildflower, Lilac Petal, Navy Floral and Camel Floral) will remain the same for this launch with new designs coming next Spring in the academic launch.

SEWN PLANNERS

This launch brings the return of a well-loved favorite, the Sewn Planners, which are available in three layout options. The Sewn Planners come in three brand new cover designs with interior pages of either  Undated Weekly (6 month books with vertical layout in 8 x 10), Undated Daily (quarterly books with weekly overview page in 7x9) or Dated Monthly (annual book in 7x9). The paper is 70 lb. with 100 lb. matte laminate soft cover. The undated versions come with complimentary sticker sheets to date the pages and monthly tab stickers are also available. 

ACCESSORIES

For the first time, stickers are coming to ShePlans. Andrea really enjoys using stickers in her planner personally so she decided to start with transparent matte icon stickers as well as offering simple monthly kits to add some deco and color.  Other new accessories include frosted clear discs (1.23” or 1.5”), a vinyl adhesive pocket and a clear plastic bookmark.
