With PurchaseYourYearbook.com, you can . . .

Provide a much appreciated service to your customers.

Credit cards are the mainstay of the American economy and statistics show that most purchases over $35.00 are made with a credit card. Your customers will enjoy the added benefit of ensuring that they have reserved a copy of your school's Yearbook without having to use cash or checks.

Have the opportunity to sell more yearbooks by making it easier to buy.

Purchasing by credit card over the Internet means that yearbooks are available for sale at the convenience of the purchaser, 24/7. Your "store" is open all day everyday. Customers don't need to worry about sending cash or checks with handwritten orders or making certain they remember where the receipt is when the time comes to pickup their yearbook. Customers receive instant order confirmation via e-mail.

Sell your yearbooks faster and earlier because customers are more likely to order well in advance when they don't have to use "cold hard cash."

Most schools are anxious to sell as many yearbooks as possible as early as possible. PurchaseYourYearbook.com makes this possible so that you can feel comfortable placing your order with the Yearbook publisher. At the same time, since payments will come in earlier, your school is much more likely to have adequate funds on hand to make payments as required by the publisher.

Enjoy much easier recordkeeping.

PurchaseYourYearbook.com allows both online AND offline sales reporting. With PurchaseYourYearbook.com, sales made via traditional methods, such as handwritten order forms, can be easily added to your school's database so that all sales records are available in one place. You can add offline sales information when it's most convenient for you from any computer with Internet access, at any time of the day.

Our robust reporting system allows easy and quick reports of sales by customer, sales by product, sales by homeroom, among many other configurations, within any date range you specify.

Experience painless distribution.

At the end of the day, one of the hardest jobs handled by the yearbook committee is the distribution process. Too many lists, not enough people, long lines . . . you know the drill. That's all in the past with PurchaseYourYearbook.com.

Distribution Reports . . .
You choose what's best for you and your Yearbook Team.

Our reporting system automatically prepares distribution lists just the way you want them:

• Student Name
• Homeroom Teacher
• Homeroom Number
• Grade
• and, virtually any format
  you might desire

All items purchased are listed with each order, along with method of payment, personalization options, balance due,
if any, etc.

Print out reports on paper or view them online. It's your choice.

Since PurchaseYourYearbook.com allows you to record offline sales manually during the sales period (or uploaded from a data file such as Excel) your reports can contain every order entered. This makes distribution much easier and faster. If you wish, since the system is web-based, you can use any computer available to look up orders and mark when they have been picked up right in the system.

Want to separate distribution by grade in different rooms. No problem.

You could have as many computers logged into the system as you want-all at the same time-from anywhere.

Sell more extras.

With credit card purchases, schools have the opportunity to sell more extras that could mean more money for promotion, staff parties, yearbook development, supplies and art and copy reference books and tools.

Ease the workload for yearbook staff.

Yearbook planning, promotion, and sales can be very rewarding for everyone involved. It can also be very tiring, and time-consuming.
PurchaseYourYearbook.com can't do the design and artwork for you, but we can help make the sales, promotion, and distribution job much easier and simpler.

Sell advertising space, online too!

If you sell advertising space in your yearbook, you'll be glad to know that you can now sell parent, business, and specialty ads using your same PurchaseYourYearbook.com account.

Selling ads online is easy . . . just like every other aspect of PurchaseYourYearbook.com. You configure your ad sales order page just like you do the yearbook pages . . . in just a few quick steps from your personal School & Site Administration page.
