Are you almost done designing and creating your yearbook? Here are just a few reminders for when you are getting close to finishing your yearbook and are getting ready to plan for submission.
March 15 Early Bird Deadline & Discount (100 Book Minimum)
March 15 is just two weeks away. Submit your yearbook to us by that date and place an order for at least 100 yearbooks and you will receive a 4% discount PLUS a free autograph supplement!
When you submit your yearbook, you will complete the Production Form (for online users, this form is completed online during the export process). On this form in the section titled “Optional Items”, please select the “4 page Stock Autograph Insert” of your choice. Although the form indicates there is an extra charge for this insert, those charges are waived if you submit your yearbook by March 15. Samples of the two types of stock autograph pages can be found on page 36 of the “Artwork & Font Guide” found in your yearbook kit.
If you need to continue to work on your yearbook after March 15, then your yearbook and production form are due to us 8 weeks before you want your yearbooks delivered if you want a hard copy proof. If you do not want a hard copy proof, then your yearbook and Production Form are due to us 6 weeks before you want delivery of your yearbook.
If you are you stuck and are in need of some creative inspiration for your yearbook? Try visiting the EZBook Idea Garden at www.ideagardenblog.com.
Are you thinking about a Year in Review Supplement for your Yearbooks and want to know more about it?
Year in Review Supplements are inserted into your yearbooks and show highlights from entertainment, sports, politics and news throughout the past year. These full color glossy yearbook pages are offered as a four-page insert for $.80 cents per book, or as an eight-page insert for $1.60 per book.
To include these pages in your yearbooks, please make your selection on the Production Form under the “Current Events Option” section. Samples of these pages can be found on page 37 of your “Yearbook Artwork & Font Guide”.
Want to Personalize the Covers of your Student Books?
Personalization enables you to print the name of a student directly on to the cover of his/her yearbook. You can even place a child’s photo on the cover or select up to three different art work icons to reflect their special interests and activities.
Please refer to the “Personalizing Your Yearbook” pamphlet contained in your yearbook kit. There are four types of Personalization Options to choose from, depending on what type of yearbook cover you have selected for your yearbooks. Please contact us for pricing information.
Exporting Your Book with the EZBook Yearbook Software
Once your yearbook is complete, you’re ready to Export Your Book. Please refer to page 27 of your EZBook Instruction Manual for instructions on “Proofing and Exporting Your Book.”
A video tutorial of how to Export Your Online Book can be found through the following link:http://bit.ly/fRVGWg; a video tutorial of how to Export your Desktop Book can found through this link: http://bit.ly/h1KbTA.
You can print a hard copy draft of your yearbook to review for accuracy. Remember that this draft is a low resolution version of your yearbook. Within two weeks after you submit your book, you will receive a high resolution proof copy of your yearbook to review. There are fees associated with any changes made to your yearbook after the proof copy has been issued, therefore, please review your yearbook in the draft (pdf) stage as best you can.
Post-Production Yearbook Supplements
So you submitted your book but there are still a few weeks of school and activities left! How do you include those memories in your yearbook? Why not include a Post-Production Supplement?
Generally 4-8 pages, you create these post-production supplements in EZBook after your yearbook has already gone off to print. They are delivered to you with pre-applied ready-to-use tape strips so that they may be manually inserted into the back of your book by any adult or student.
With only a three-week turnaround time, you can create these supplements and have them delivered to coordinate with your yearbook distribution date. Please contact us for pricing information.
