Your class yearbook is one of the most important keepsakes after you graduate. That means making it look great is essential. That also means shelling out a credit card to help pay for it.

It doesn’t have to be that way though. Here are a few creative fundraising ideas to help make your book look truly amazing:

  • Sell extra photos. You will have hundreds of digital photos that don’t make it into the yearbook. Why not create some CDs of the extra photos and sell them to students and their parents.
  • Promote book sales to local doctors, dentists, realtors and graduates. Ask these locals to purchase books for students that could not otherwise afford too.
  • Host a car wash on your school grounds for the locals to take part in. All money earned can be used for school yearbooks.
  • Provide separate coupon books with ads that can be handed out when books are sold as a “point of purchase” reward for local businesses.
  • Sell copies of old yearbooks that are lying around to parents and extended family of alumni that may not have had an opportunity to purchase one when their family member was graduating.

While selling ads in the actual book is always an option that can help generate some money, fundraising is another great option to bring income for your class yearbook!
