National Buy Your Yearbook Day: Here are the Contests!

10.19.2018

It’s almost here! National Buy Your Yearbook Day (NBYYD) is Thursday, October 25.

We created this day as a special time of the school year to focus specifically on yearbook sales, and build excitement and a sense of urgency for the yearbook.

We have four contests you can enter this year. Two lucky winners in each contest will be awarded $100 gift cards!

Need ideas on how to promote NBYYD on your campus? Check out this blog post. All winners will be announced on Friday, Oct. 26.
