JOSTENS YEARTECH ONLINE

What's all the excitement about? It's the revolutionary YearTech Online page creation tool, using the Internet to fully create your yearbook. Imagine working from anywhere, from any computer with an Internet connection, anytime 24/7. No more software to buy, no more ten staffers but only three computers to work on. Work on your yearbook on YOUR schedule - days, evenings, weekends, whatever works for you and your busy staffers.

 

Other major yearbook competitors are scrambling to create their own online page creation tool, but NO other company has the online experience of Jostens. Instead of a tool that's "just like YearTech Online," why not go with the first and best? Our Jostens technical support staff leads the industry in this technology, and it's now available to YOU!

 

Best of all, Jostens has further improved YTO, first available for all schools in fall 2006 and constantly upgraded each year. You will be AMAZED at what this powerful and flexible tool can do! Building on the advantages of the original YTO, the new version takes a further leap into the future by making it even easier to create your yearbook with stylish layouts and more choices, from ANY computer with an Internet connection, ANYTIME of day, ANYWHERE!! All this without spending one cent on new computers or new software!! We even have two versions of YTO geared for larger or smaller yearbooks and those on larger or smaller budgets.

 

What's new for 2011-12 for the full YTO version? Tops on the list is the new facial recognition feature which makes it easier than ever before to tag images with names for those appearing in the image. Why is that important? It helps us easly create an index and keep track of how many times people are currently pictured in your book, an awesome tool to help with your student coverage.

 

What else from previous years? The Portrait Editor tool will allow staffs to create their custom designed portrait pages in advance, then easily flow in the pictures and names right on the pages in the correct boxes. No more waiting to see if the portraits and names look OK, do it right then and there on your custom designed pages. The enhanced Image Upload tool now makes it easier and faster than ever to get your images to the website so you can start working. For advisers, you can easily keep track of your students, when they've been online and what they've done, perfect for grading purposes.

 

And with your all-important sales, you can keep track of how many times students are pictured in the yearbook AND send out emails to individuals with a yearbook image of them included in the message. Imagine that - easily personalizing your sales to enhance sales success!

 

Why do I LOVE this tool? Among its many advantages, it allows me to be of further assistance to you and your staff. I can call up your exclusive YTO site from anywhere but especially from my home office to see exactly what you are seeing. I've created many page templates and posted them on YTO sites when an adviser or student has asked for help. I've checked out pages or spreads or fixed problems when someone has requested it. I've done this evenings or on weekends when someone has a deadline coming up or just needs some support.

 

Jostens YearTech Online is the greatest innovation to hit the yearbook industry since our 2000 introduction of Jostens Picture Placer to easily place digital images into photo boxes; our competitors scrambled then to catch up as well. Always looking ahead, Jostens is the unquestioned LEADER in yearbook technology, and YTO is clearly the future of publishing, both for yearbooks and other texts.

 

Want to learn more? Please drop me a line, I'd love to do a demonstration on your very own computer. Perhaps we could even do a side-by-side demonstration with the tools you're currently using so you can really see the difference.
