Walsworth just announced the first group of monthly prize winners in The Big Event promotion they are running this school year, working with yearbook staffs to make yearbook signing parties premiere events.
Just what exactly did September winners Wayzata, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, Chippewa Valley and Warren High School win? They won a whole lot of valuable materials to be used with promoting their own signing party.
Today is the final day of National Yearbook Week, and we’ve had a blast celebrating our love of yearbooks all week.
Hopefully you’ve had a chance to celebrate the yearbook too, with special activities in your school or even by just flipping through the pages of your old yearbooks and reliving all the memories.
If National Yearbook Week has given you a chance to start pondering how you can increase your yearbook sales, a key component you should start thinking about is using customized marketing materials.
Walsworth provides a service for its schools designing customized marketing materials – posters, fliers, postcards. All of them with a school’s colors and mascot, yearbook sales information and custom message.
Looking for creative, fresh ideas on ways to promote and sell the yearbook?
Look no further. You can get some attention for the yearbook by using some of these guerrilla marketing techniques.
The beauty of National Yearbook Week falling in October is it’s the perfect time to begin planning and promoting an autograph party at your school when books arrive. Why? Everyone gets excited about a BIG EVENT and you can use that excitement to get students and parents to purchase books in advance. You were looking for a way to sell more yearbooks, right?
Students love getting their yearbooks signed by their friends. It’s one of the things that makes yearbooks so permanent (and something you don’t get with Facebook). By planning a distribution event when books arrive, you can get students and parents excited NOW for a book they won’t receive until months from now.
You know what today is? Yes, it’s the beginning of National Yearbook Week – a chance for you to have a week-long celebration of the yearbook.
But it’s more than that! Walsworth is declaring today Talk Like a Yearbook Day, a movement we started during National Yearbook Week a couple years ago.
Starting Monday, the Yearbooks Blog will be showcasing National Yearbook Week with special themed coverage each day.
Here is the schedule below. Be sure to check back throughout the week!
Every week may be yearbook week for you, but you can officially celebrate during National Yearbook Week next week, Oct. 3-7. Walsworth and the Yearbooks Blog are already making plans to mark the week with five themed days here in the Blog, on Facebook and on Twitter.
Take time now to plan fun activities and spread the word about yearbook throughout your school. This is a good week to market your yearbook to increase sales, explain what it’s like to be on staff to aid recruitment in a few months and tout your accomplishments.
National Yearbook Week is just around the corner. In fact it’s only one week away, this year falling on Oct. 3-7.
At Walsworth and the Yearbooks Blog, we’re already making plans on how to celebrate and we want you to get involved, too.
Take a look at this article from the Ladue-Frontenac Patch about St. Louis artist Jay Alan Babcock, who spent time working with students from the Community School on his latest project based on old yearbook photos.
Babcock started by scanning the yearbook photos and making copies, then taking the copies and placing them over carbon paper to outline parts of the image or whole images. The images then become drawings, or paintings.
