Which one is right for your clients?
Choose digital if...
When you are extremely busy, cost is a big factor or convenience is key, digital books may be the best option. You're likely want to avoid the hassle of creating your own handouts and opt for professionally designed resources that are ready to go.
Plumtree Baby offers several convenient and affordable options for digital books. We even include a free Companion Workbook for Preparing for Birth which parent can print and fill-in during class (helping you provide the best of both print and digital).
Choose print if...
If you are concerned that parents are tuning out or not retaining information, you may find print resources are the way to go. (In fact, many of our customers report that their clients prefer have printed materials when surveyed.)
Print materials can be used for virtual classes with a little planning. You can order them in advance and have parents pick them up before class or have them shipped directly to clients.
To ship directly to clients, simply add books or packets to your shopping cart on our website and enter your client's shipping address during checkout. Complete separate orders for each client. Most orders ship for just $5.
If you are still unsure which option is best, ask your clients for feedback or give them a choice of either option. It is also important to evaluate which option is the most convenient and cost effective for you.
