Look under the **Build a Book** tab on the [Yearbook Supplies](https://studio.balfour.com/build-a-book/shop/) page. 7. Use Balfour’s [eMarketing](https://studio.balfour.com/sales-orders/emarketing/#/) campaigns to let nonbuyers know how to order a book. 1. You can also thank buyers for supporting the yearbook program. 2. (A student list must be uploaded before using eMarketing features. Your rep can help.) 8.

Tiered pricing can encourage orders before the price goes up. 10.
