With yearbook delivery season is upon us, we’re excited to partner with our friends at Tribute to bring yearbook buyers everywhere a free virtual yearbook signature page! In a year like no other, your buyers can now collect special video messages from friends, family and teachers near and far.

Tribute is on a mission to spread gratitude around the world by creating technology that helps people give and receives messages from the most meaningful people in their lives. We already know yearbooks are lifelong keepsakes that grow more meaningful with time, and so will their virtual yearbook messages gathered via Tribute.

How to Get Started

The process is so easy: visit www.tribute.co/balfour to claim a free Tribute ($25 value). Once a virtual page is created, it can be shared via text, email or social media. Your favorite people can record a message right from Tribute’s platform or submit a video from their camera roll. The messages are approved by the student before they are visible on the virtual signature page.

Best of all, students can create a beautiful video montage using Tribute’s free video editing software.
