How to Avoid the Top Mistakes Yearbook Editors Make
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jun 23, 2010, by Kelly Dunford– Top yearbook publishing company Entourage Yearbooks offers advice on how to avoid common yearbook printing mistakes.
Missed delivery dates: Avoid missing out on the most important book of the year by scheduling delivery dates and planned deadlines at the beginning of the project. Adhering to deadlines will teach students critical time management skills and ensure the on-time arrival of yearbooks.
Plan for the worst: Schools should allocate a backup fund if the yearbook project encounters extra fees. Setting aside a small portion of money from fundraisers will help students budget more conservatively and ensure that there is extra money should additional fees come into play.
Multiple checks in place: Schools should use various resources to proofread and spot mistakes in yearbooks. If one person misses it the first time, there’s a good chance they will miss it again. Ask many people to get involved to help thoroughly review all spelling and grammar. We had a school submit a book with the word ‘school’ misspelled on the front cover!
Understanding budgets & costs: Underestimating costs can hurt a project. It’s better to overshoot prices and know that these figures can fluctuate based on the specifics of a project. Invest wisely in your yearbook – creating a memorable and striking book can be a great fundraiser tool since more people will want to buy it or invest in it the following year.
Picking the right company with comprehensive tools, templates & yearbook software: The digital age has been here for a while. Choosing a company that offers rapid turnaround times, comprehensive customer support, and the latest digital technology can save time, costs, and aggravation. Don’t just shop around for prices; shop for support, technology, and creativity.
