Walsworth launches updated online home for new yearbook advisers

No yearbook company offers better support for new yearbook advisers than Walsworth Yearbooks. Walsworth is the place for new advisers, and providing everything those advisers need to be successful is our priority.

That’s why we have designed a new, expanded New Advisers page on walsworthyearbooks.com. The updated online home for new advisers is rich with content and will be updated regularly so the information is always relevant and timely.

Take a tour around the page:

Subscribe to Timely Tips

Walsworth’s monthly email series geared specifically toward new yearbook advisers, Timely Tips provides quick, helpful bits of advice that make sense for the time of year. And advisers visiting the New Advisers page will find a button right in the banner at the top that allows them to quickly sign up to receive the Timely Tips.

Each Timely Tips email includes a section called “Timely Tasks” that lists reminders advisers should be aware of for that month. The Timely Tips emails are available only to subscribers.

This month’s marquee

Below resources, users find a rotating carousel that will be updated monthly, displaying current webinars, eBooks and other timely content.

With spring approaching, content in the carousel is currently focused on the upcoming summer workshop season and the recently named award-winning yearbooks in Walsworth’s President’s Collection gallery. In late summer and early fall months, the carousel will likely focus on covers, themes and back-to-school topics.

What do you need help with?

Over the course of a school year, particular topics always seem to come to the forefront at certain times. For example, during the second half of the school year, advisers and staffs often seek information on recruiting, or how to prepare an organized distribution day.

The “I need help with…” section provides quick links to helpful posts on walsworthyearbooks.com and yearbookhelp.com, including instructions for working with Online Design and InDesign.
