Picture This Services > Yearbook Advertising

One way of funding your yearbook with Picture This or any company is of course by selling advertising. These ads can be solicited to local businesses or to parents who might want to buy ads for their children. Picture This will provide an advertising guide for schools who might want to explore this option. The guide will contain standard sizes for ads, as well as potential pricing your school may want to offer. Selling advertising does require someone on the school’s part to send out letters to potential advertisers and to collect business info, such as logos and copy. As with all of the other aspects of the book, our company will design and lay out the advertising pages. Advertising can be a very effective way of financing the book, and local businesses usually welcome an opportunity to support the educational institutions in their communities. For more information on the advertising kit, email us at info@picturethisyearbooks.com.
