School Yearbook FAQs (16)

  • I’m interested in publishing a yearbook with Strawbridge Studios. Who can I contact for information and pricing?
  • We have a dedicated team of Yearbook Representatives that would be happy to discuss all Strawbridge Studios has to offer for your yearbook needs. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at YBSales@strawbridge.net for more information. To connect you with the correct Representative for your area, please provide your school name, location (city & state), and contact info in your message. We look forward to hearing from you!

  • Who can I speak to about changing my yearbook copy count/page count?
  • Please contact your Yearbook Representative regarding any adjustments in copy or page count.  Your book pricing may change based on these types of adjustments.  If you are unsure how to reach your Representative, please contact us at yearbook.support@strawbridge.net for assistance.

  • What is the deadline for yearbook submissions?
  • We require your final yearbook submission 6 weeks prior to your desired delivery date. To discuss timelines and adjustments, please contact your Yearbook Representative.

  • How do I keep track of my yearbook orders? How do I know who ordered online?
  • Keeping track of all yearbook orders on the school’s end is essential for distribution purposes. Strawbridge does not maintain records of yearbook envelope orders submitted to us for deposit.

    For cash and check orders, we recommend utilizing a spreadsheet such as the one we have available here: Order Tracking Spreadsheet
    Your yearbook software also has an order tracking function available.

    The online order tracking portal can be accessed here: Fotomerchant Portal
    We have a quick guide to utilizing the portal available here: Portal Guide

    You should have received login information for the portal when your online sale was activated. If you did not receive this information, please contact us at yearbook.support@strawbridge.net.

  • Can parents order their yearbooks online?
  • Yes! We offer our online sale platform to assist you in facilitating your yearbook sale. In fact, online ordering is the easiest way to handle selling your yearbooks–there are no paper orders to keep up with, and all your orders are in one place for easy tracking. We offer both printed and digital flyers to distribute to promote the online sale, and we also provide a direct link to the sale for you to disseminate as needed. To set up your sale and request materials, please utilize our fillable online form here: Sales Material Request Form

  • Can parents order yearbooks directly from Strawbridge?
  • Strawbridge does not sell yearbooks directly to parents until after the school’s order of yearbooks has shipped and your sale has finalized, typically beginning June 1 for most books delivered in the Spring. For more detailed information, please feel free to contact us at yearbook.support@strawbridge.net.

  • I’m concerned about selling all of my books. What can we do to increase sales at our school?
  • There are many things you can do to promote yearbook sales at your school:

    • Host an email campaign and/or post your yearbook sale link to your communication apps
    • Mention the upcoming yearbook sale deadlines on the morning announcements
    • Hold a cover contest around school to drum up interest for the yearbook
    • Place posters provided by Strawbridge around the school to increase visibility
    • Set up a table to take orders at school events
    • Display your yearbook cover in the main office, media center, or other high-traffic areas

    If you need more ideas or help with your yearbook sale, please contact your Yearbook Representative. If you are unsure of how to reach them, please contact our Yearbook Support team at yearbook.support@strawbridge.net.

  • How should I get started on the yearbook process?
  • We have a handy checklist available to help guide you through the yearbook process over the course of the school year: Yearbook Checklist

    For more guidance, we recommend conferring with your Yearbook Representative. If you are unsure how to reach them, please contact us at yearbook.support@strawbridge.net for assistance.

  • I need some help with my yearbook. Does Strawbridge offer one-on-one training?
  • Yes! Please contact your Yearbook Representative to schedule a training session. If you are unsure how to reach them, please contact us at yearbook.support@strawbridge.net for assistance.

  • When will my portraits be uploaded to the yearbook software?
  • We upload student portraits to your yearbook software after your absentee images have been processed. This allows us to add all portraits to the software at once, making organization easier and lessening the chance that students are left out of the book. We will send a notification once the portraits are available, which is usually within 3 weeks of your absentee picture date.

  • How do I choose my yearbook cover?
  • We highly recommend discussing yearbook cover options with your Yearbook Representative, as they can provide you with all the available information regarding cover designs and submission processes. Many options are available, whether you would like to use one of our Standard designs, design a custom cover (or have one designed for you), or utilize student artwork. Our catalog of Standard cover designs is available to view online here: Standard Cover Gallery

  • Do you create custom designs for the book? Is that an extra charge?
  • We offer professionally-designed custom yearbook covers based on your ideas and direction at no additional charge. Contact your Yearbook Representative to discuss your vision!

    Please note that we do not offer custom design work for content to be used inside the yearbook, only on the cover.

  • Are there themes available to apply throughout the yearbook for a cohesive design?
  • Yes! Most all of our Standard cover options have accompanying theme content available, such as backgrounds, clipart, and fonts. Check out our full catalog here: Standard Cover Catalog. To view the accompanying theme content, simply click one of the designs.

    If you are not utilizing one of our Standard cover designs, the yearbook software has a wealth of content available to create your own theme. We recommend discussing the book design with your Yearbook Representative for suggestions.

  • What happens after I submit my book?
  • After you submit from the yearbook software, you will be locked out from editing the book. However, we do not begin the printing process until we receive a completed Final Submission Form, available for download here: Final Submission Form

    For more detailed information on the yearbook submission process as it pertains to your school, please contact your Yearbook Representative or our Yearbook Support team at yearbook.support@strawbridge.net.

  • If we run out of books, can more books be ordered?
  • Absolutely! There is a 25-copy minimum for reorders, and turnaround time is 3-4 weeks. To place a reorder, please contact your Yearbook Representative or our Yearbook Support team at yearbook.support@strawbridge.net.

  • What sort of format should our yearbook photos be?
  • Yearbook portraits, if provided by a different photography studio, should be sent to you in an industry-standard PSPA format yearbook export. We can then import those images into the yearbook software for you–just contact us at yearbook.support@strawbridge.net for assistance.

    Candid photos should be uploaded to the yearbook software in as high a resolution as possible for best quality print results. The software allows for uploading a number of file formats; please refer to the upload dialog of the program directly for more information.
