The last few weeks of a yearbook sales campaign are always the busiest! Here's how to make the most of the weeks before the final purchase deadline and get those last minute orders in.
GO BIG ON REMINDERS
Make sure everyone knows the deadline is coming.
- Post countdowns on social media ("Only 5 days left!").
- Use school announcements to remind students daily.
- Send Direct-To-Parent emails with clear ordering info.
- Hang posters in high-traffic areas like hallways and the cafeteria
OFFER A FINAL INCENTIVE
Give students a reason to order now:
- Free accessory with purchase (autograph page, personalization, etc.)
- Entry into a raffle for gift cards or school merch
USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO BUILD HYPE
Post daily updates and reminders:
- Share sneak peeks of yearbook pages.
- Feature student quotes about why they're excited.
- Run polls or Q&As in stories.
- Tag students and use fun hashtags.
- Create a photo shoot with students who have already ordered a book with the headline "I ordered mine! Have you?" and post on social and on TV screens throughout the school.
DEPLOY YOUR STREET TEAM
Get your yearbook crew or street squad to:
- Wear buttons or stickers around campus.
- Hand out flyers with ordering details.
- Talk to classmates about ordering.
- Help set up a last-munute pop-up sales booth during lunch.
MAKE IT EASY TO ORDER
Remove any barriers:

- Make sure pricing and deadlines are crystal clear.
