A Review Of The Major Yearbook Companies
Yearbooks are very popular student keepsakes. Most people end up treasuring and keeping their yearbooks for the rest of their lives. Choosing the right yearbook company to print your yearbooks can be a confusing task, though; there are so many to choose from. Below, we take a look at a few things you should keep in mind when comparing the major yearbook companies.
Are They Quick?
When you've promised students they will have their yearbooks in hand by a particular date, it can be very frustrating dealing with a slow or inefficient company. Although LifeTouch and Josten's have reasonable turn around times, they do not come close to equaling the speed of Entourage Yearbooks. Entourage Yearbooks boasts the fastest turnaround time in the industry; with three to four week printing times, they blow the competition away in terms of speed.What's Included? Not all yearbook companies are made alike; this holds especially true when it comes to the kind of support and products that you'll get when you order your yearbooks. Although some yearbook companies offer a couple perks - Taylor Publishing and Josten's might throw in an extra thing or two - none include the comprehensive roster of items that Entourage Yearbooks does. As a dedicated yearbook company, Entourage Yearbooks provides templates, software and guides - basically, a complete starter kit that will help the process go as smoothly as possible.
How Much Does It Cost?
For many schools, prices are the deciding factor when it comes to which yearbook company they choose to print their yearbooks. Herff Jones, Taylor Publishing, LifeTouch and Josten's do not even come close to matching the competitive rates offered by Entourage Yearbooks. At Entourage, we understand that schools often work with tight budgets, and we're happy to offer very reasonable prices for our yearbooks.

ReplyDeleteI had some issues with Entourage. The print quality of the yearbook was substandard. They missed some big errors in the yearbook caused by their online program. The turnaround time was really the only positive. I'll be changing companies.
ReplyDeleteWe all use Walsworth Yearbooks. Not a massive company like the ones you listed. Walsworth is an American, family owned private company that is able to give the most amazing service and they always have the newest technology first and prices are very reasonable. Couldn't be happier! Entourage is just a few people and no printing plants as I understand it.
ReplyDeleteWhat's 'reasonable' ? We had a quote for 20k for 180 yearbooks
DeleteEntourage currently has 5 printing plants across the United States
