It’s Almost Time for Yearbook Camp!

Can you believe it’s almost time for yearbook camp? We’ll see you at 8:30am Saturday morning for check-in and the four yerdiest days of the year start at 9:30am. You can find hotel directions, an area dining guide, lists of what to bring with you and all the camp info at www.yearbooksca.com. Be sure to follow our camp Twitter account for updates!

Yearbook Kits Are Here – Leaner, Meaner and Greener!

If you had a somewhat small package delivered to your classroom recently and thought to yourself, “Oh, I’ll wait to open that later – it couldn’t possibly be the new yearbook kit.” Think again! The 2010 Kit has been completely overhauled with new materials, a snazzy cd case and less bulk. Kits are arriving now, let us know if you don’t have yours soon.

teamSlye Sales Tip #3 – Last Chance!

Make sure parents know they’re about to miss out on the chance to buy their son or daughter a yearbook! Use the free “Last Chance!” postcards to spread the word through mailings and end-of-year events. Just let us know how many postcards you need!

Social Network Your Way to Distribution Success!

The enterprising staff at Smoky Hill HS in Colorado created a Facebook event page for their distribution party and had more than 100 students sign up on the first day! Take advantage of today’s technology to spread the word about your yearbook distribution events. (Thanks for sharing Summit staff!)

teamSlye Sales Tip #2 – Stick to It!

When students know they’re going to appear in the yearbook they’re far more likely to want one! Let your students who haven’t yet purchased a book know they’ll be included with our free sticky notes. Now that your index is complete, it’s easy to cross-reference with your sales log and promote book sales to students with specific information. Just let us know how many sticky note pads you need!
