has the post office ever given you push back because the ribbon makes the invite too thick to go through their sorting machine?
so so so so so so so beautiful
This is AMAZING!!! 🤩 Thank You so much Laney for doing this & sharing with the world! What a cool video!!! 🥰
Nice video on the differences, going to link it to my discussion post I'm writing (for my Masters class online in Visual Communication Design).
How would you compare this to hubspot
Hi.thanks for the very helpful video.a question please..I should create a separate page each time I want to send a different automated email with a free digital file?it cannot be done within a blog post.correct?
Thanks 😊
Thank you 🙏
I'm super excited about this program. Thank you so much for the amazing walkthroughs!
Thanks Ladies
Good job well explained
Hello. It won't allow me to upload the KDP template to Canva. You have the best directions so far with this process. However, I'm stuck on this step. :-( - Sorry
Thank you! That solved another problem I had which was the “place-holder text” language too !
This is great information!!! 🤩 Thank you so much!!! 🙏
You're the best, Laney!
Thank you. Saves a lot of time :)
Indeed
How does client actually sign the contract on their end. Is that done inside of Honey Books?
They’ll get a link to the contract and will do an esignature !
Wtf can't i just double click the text and change it, like every other program ever made in the history of man kind? I hate this fucking program!
thank you so much for the explaination
WHERE I CAN FIND THE SMALL GLYPH BAR THAT YOU SHOW IN 1:32 ? thnxs
Do you outsource all your printing or do you do some in house
I outsource mostly ! I have a few videos about my favorite printer to outsource to on the PrintsWell playlist !
This video has great content but to fast for a newbie to follow.
Are you able to block out times manually? Say you have a meeting that will make you unavailable from 2-4pm, is there a way to go in and block out those times in the scheduler so clients can't select them? I can't seem to figure out how to do this
No sound
Thank you so much! Your series has been a huge help - thanks for the delivering the info is such a timely efficient way. It was great to be able to watch a few videos in a single sitting and get our questions answered.
Thank you for all the info Laney! It's so helpful.
what makes it feel little?
I will write to you in the right way!
Hey ur voice is too sweet ❤
Thank you! I loved this!!
Pretty please 🥺
you're a hero. Thank you for these time saving tips!
That is awesome, I was sad though as I have a Kyocera laser 😢
I see your answer below regarding the smart fields for first name only in emails. Is the email system able to separate first and last name on its own since they are combined in one field in the contact form?
Ladies!!! 😮
Can the client view their tasks? I don't see this feature
Just did it for over 2600 fonts at once. Thanks a lot. PS: On Windows 11, I was able to install them simply by selecting them, without the search .ttf or .otf step. Simply selected all fonts, and with the right mouse button there was an option to install all
Great vid. So, they fill out the contact form on the website. In HB, some info goes to the contact database and some goes to the project database. When doing a discovery call to gather more info, even if hand written at the time, how does one add the additional info to the contact and project databases? Would be great to see a vid on how to build out all of the info ever needed in a contact or project so that it could be entered at the time of the discovery call interview.
Hi Laney! i dont see you explained how to outline the text, can you please advise?
Hi! Yes you’d select all the text and either right click and choose “create outlines” or go to the Object menu and select it from there! The keyboard shortcut is ctrl+shift+O I believe.
@@DesignbyLaney thank you soo much!
IS THAT CHRIS FROM MR BEAST?!?!?! (no Offence)
Thank you for sharing Laney! I’m curious between HoneyBook. I run a mobile concierge boutique business and need automation/client communication/uploads. Any input is appreciated 🌸☀️
Thanks for sharing these! Cool 😎
Life changing!! Thanks Laney!! :)
Great video! Is it ok not to use background music on reels? Is this really needed? I make min english lessons. If I don't use music, will my reach be affected? Thanks!
If you’re speaking or there’s other audio background music is totally not necessary!!! Some people like to add some quiet music to hopefully catch on “trending sounds” but it’s absolutely not a necessity.
I can't access honeybook from Nigeria, I'm new to content creation, i need something that can help me with clients project and invoice and that can process payments, an i can use PayPal in my country 😢, what do you suggest?
Thanks Ladies!!! 😱
😑 Promo-SM
Hoping for some help. 🥺
It doesn't keep the settings in subsequent documents.
