Levenger Analogy - Your thoughts?
Scott Elias | Feb 2 2007
I'm a bit envious. My mom who lives in South Florida is going the Levenger store today. I turned her on to the Circa system and showed her Doug's reviews at DIYPlanner so she's going to check things out. When she asked me what was so special about Levenger's stuff, the best I could come up with was this: Levenger is to low-tech as Apple is to high-tech. Sure, I'm an unapologetic Apple fanboy, but it does make sense. It may cost a little bit more, but you're getting superior quality and attention to detail. So what do you think? The above is my opinion only - please let's not have any Mac bashing... 8 Comments

Interesting. But perhaps DayTimers and Franklin-Covey...Submitted by mdl on April 13, 2007 - 6:26am.

Interesting. You raise a very good point. Yes, now that I think about it, I may be confusing Levenger with the padded, faux-leather dayplanners and cheesy folios that I've seen in the corporate world and that grace the aisles of Office Depot. The kind that seem to have about half an inch of padding (tissue?) on top of the cardboard and beneath the plastic leather. But Levenger, I suppose, is much more like Moleskine. To tell you the truth, I think I'm in a state of denial. I've convinced myself that index cards from Target (1/2 a cent per card) are all I ever need in order to avoid the irresistable lure of the Levenger products. So in the end, yes, I think your analogy holds. But I do have to say that Office Depot sells a mean set of very cheap legal pads--so long as you don't mind have the Office Depot name, number, web address staring back at you in bright red as you write. :) » POSTED IN:
