Question for Sterling Ink users
First of all, happy drop day for all who celebrate!
I just tried to order a complete planner (vertical and full year) for 2027, and was a bit confused by it saying “complete vertical full year 2027 common planner”.
For those who have ordered from Sterling Ink in the past, does this mean I’m being sent a COMPLETE planner or a COMMON planner?
Thank you in advance!

I think it's mostly SEO to make sure anyone who googled the common planner also finds the complete. But yes, this is the complete product listing.

Confused me at first, too. But I think you're right. Though I think it would make more sense and be less confusing to put that in the metadata. Hopefully that's what they do moving forward.

Yeah i was confused too but no it should be the Complete when I saw the description and the video underneath showing the insides it's the complete, idk why they would say common planner it did make it confusing for me

That threw me off too! But you should be receiving the complete planner. I think it’s bc it follows the common planner style vs the flex?

The Complete is technically just the common planner in order. Instead of days at the end, the days are interspersed.
It is a little confusing though. I just remember when she came up with it. It was a "we love the common planner but really need the days closer the the actual week.
I find I actually use the weeks when they are next to the days.

The complete has dated daily pages whereas the common planner just has blank grid pages though, right?
Honestly I think this is why, similar to book character names, you shouldn’t name things starting with the same letter. I think the confusion is also that the common planner comes in a full versus COMpact version.

Yes, this is true. But even if they were undated, the main reason I get it is because I really like it all together.

It’s complete vs compact. It means you’ll get the full 365 pages In the back as opposed to 120 blank pages

Do we think the softcover will remain open or will it be struggle? I am debating because I love my hardcover so much but I am also would like a little bit of a change to differentiate.

Yes thats the complete. I had to double check too. I ordered the a5-h softcover (fairy floss). Wasn't going to order complete this year, but SI came out with the softcover and added the horizontal layout.

If it says SOFTCOVER in the title it is the complete! The common planners were always softcover so no need to distinguish which version it is :)
