How much should it cost to make a vision board?

Projects can take a lot out of you, and they can take a lot out of your bank account.

The path to success might not be entirely cost-free, but there are ways to make sure that you’re spending smart. The same thing goes for vision board projects and manifesting pieces. 

You wouldn’t think that vision boards are an expensive process, but look at how it’s evolved over the years.

Magazines & Vision Boards

Printed publications–magazines primarily–have played a huge role in vision boarding over the years. The process hasn’t changed with magazines, but over the years, inflation has changed how easy it is to visualize your goals on a budget.

Let’s take a look at magazines starting in the year 1997 and examine how the cost has increased over the years. Magazines have varying price points, but realistically for a vision board and what’s inside, you’re looking at a $6 to $8 magazine in 1997.

Fast forward 10+ years later, the quality of magazines has improved on top of a rising price point. So in order to maintain the same quality of vision boards, you’re also increasing your spend. 

Take a look at this info from an Inflation Calculator site:

To put things in perspective, if you needed 5 magazines in 1997 at an $8 pricepoint, that’s $40 right there. In 2021, 5 magazines would have your checkout total at nearly double the cost depending on your selections.

What’s the smart way to save?

You aren’t the only one who has been trying to rework their vision board process to fit their budget. That’s where Lovet Planners comes in with the bestselling Vision Board Planner. 

Instead of piling tons of magazines in your shopping cart, you can cut it down to 1 magazine and photos of yourself with the Vision Board Planner. Why? Because it contains…

• Empowering Quotes
• Inspiring Words & Phrases
• Fill In The Blank Statements
• Shapes & Objects to Embellish
• Bank of the Universe Checks (Abundance Checks)

The second half of the book has labeled “vision board” pages, so you ultimately create a vision book. This is an alternative to making your vision boards on a corkboard or poster board. Poster boards are inexpensive but not next to a protected vision book. 

Explained: When you create a vision board on a poster board, there are risks. Those risks may include…

• Subject to damage if not protected, leading to costs for a new vision board
• Lack of access to visualize. You want to visualize with your board as much as possible but can’t do that when you’re hardly at home. That’s why the Vision Board Planner makes a great alternative.
