How Online Tools Can Bring Your Yearbook Committee Together
A yearbook project can often challenge its committee members. Whether it’s a PTA meeting or a second job, other responsibilities always fill up our schedules pretty quickly.
Many yearbook companies use online technologies to allow yearbook committees to work together. Entourage Yearbooks, a company that prides itself in its use of online tools, has figured out how you can benefit:
Learning Together: Webinars
Online meetings and conferences enable yearbook committee members to attend software training sessions together. Besides being able to view ways to make your yearbook project better simultaneously, it is fun to bond over learning and sharing something as a group.
Sharing Information: Personal Website
Why not get more people involved rather than assigning one person to manage a yearbook? Online tools enable multiple committee members to log in to their school’s account to keep track of deadlines, manage yearbook sales, and upload photographs. Account Administrators can select these photographs immediately and drop them into their yearbook software.
Never Missing a Moment: Digital Proofs
Certain events like Prom come very late in the year. Since it is challenging to push completion deadlines, events like these are often left out of yearbooks. With tools like digital proofs, you can upload pictures from Prom, submit your pages, and instantly request a set of digital proofs. This can cut weeks from your project timeline.
Saving Money: Customer Login
Online tools can help cut costs of travel and postage, leaving yearbook committees with money in their budget for other projects and events. This can relieve financial stress and put the committee in a much better mood.
Connecting to your Yearbook Company: Online Consultants
Online tools make for a faster connection to your yearbook company; they allow billers, tech support, and creative and design consultants to be there for you immediately through webinars and online conferencing. You can share your computer screen and discuss your project when a question arises. You can also access videos with hints and tricks that your yearbook company will most likely update regularly.

Selling Yearbooks Online: Online Yearbook Sales
Online Yearbook sales make for a straightforward way for students and teachers to purchase yearbooks. This allows them to build more excitement around the yearbook project while being able to log in and out of their school’s account as they please.
Entourage Yearbooks continuously finds new ways to bring technology into the yearbook process. Since design, production, and sales are managed online, yearbook committees are allowed instant access and support and more time and energy to share this fascinating process.
