Choosing a yearbook company is easier when you know what to ask. Use this checklist.
The ten points
- Who designs the book: your staff or the provider?
- How many staff hours will it take?
- Is there a page for every student?
- Is the full price list public?
- Who pays: the school or the students?
- What is the delivery date, and is it guaranteed before graduation?
- Is there a digital archive?
- Where is student data stored and is there a DPA?
- What happens when a deadline slips?
- Can you speak to a school that used them?
