Online Yearbooks Are a Great Choice for Schools on a Budget

For schools on a budget, things like yearbooks can be the first to go. This may put you in a tight position: you want to provide a gateway for students to remember their time at school, but just can’t figure out how.

Here are some money-saving tips brought to you by Entourage Yearbooks:

Work Online: Phone and internet conferencing provide easy ways to discuss yearbook concepts, ideas, and deadlines. Rather than wasting time and money on transportation, why not take advantage of Entourage Yearbooks for online file sharing, conferencing, and yearbook ad sales? You can upload photos and yearbook pages, and share your ideas with fellow committee members. This enables you to collaborate on yearbook ideas without having to sacrifice extra dollars that might normally be spent on travel and extra commission.

Go for Soft Covers: Yearbooks with soft covers are more cost-effective and easier to produce than yearbooks with hard covers. This means that yearbooks can be sold to students for a much lower price, making sure not to leave anyone out. Entourage’s soft cover books include PUR Binding and a Lifetime Warranty. You can print them in black and white, full color, or any combination of the two.

Make it a SNAP!: Entourage SNAP! Books are the most affordable, and can easily be made to resemble a magazine. With 80 lb glossy archival paper, you can add a fun and sophisticated style to your yearbook. You can print your covers with full-color images that you design yourself, or you can select from a library of pre-designed covers.  The low prices make SNAP! Yearbooks a great online yearbook alternative.

Use Free Marketing: When you get your yearbook kit, you will have access to free personalized marketing for your school. Just pick the style of your choice, and your team at Entourage will set you up with free marketing posters, handouts, order forms, and e-mail blasts. Not only is this service free; it allows you more opportunities to make money from yearbook sales, leaving more in your budget for next year.

Stretch Your Dollars with Your Sales Rep: Consult your sales rep at Entourage Yearbooks for advice on how to get the best value. Your sales rep is here to take the burden off of you and help you design a yearbook program that is best for your school. You can be sure that your dollars will go a long way in receiving the best service and the best yearbook product without having to cut corners.

Entourage Yearbooks works with elementary, middle, and high schools to create the easiest yearbooks without creating a strain on your wallet. With such products as the SNAP! Book (a soft cover, saddle-stitched yearbook), you can incorporate all of these techniques to package your memories in a cost-effective book.
