On September 2, Herff Jones was the first yearbook company to create a company Facebook Fan page and in one day we had more than 100 fans. Today, we have over 600.
“Friend us on Facebook”
*If you are on Facebook, invite your staff to Become a Fan (click on Suggest to Friends along the left side of the Fan page)
*The URL is easy – www.facebook.com/hjyearbook
*Add a “Become a Fan” line or the facebook URL to your email signature
*Post something to the Herff Jones Fan site – keep it fun and interesting. Do you have a cool ad campaign you are willing to share? Have a YouTube commercial to share? This is great promotion for you and your school!
*Encourage students to participate in the Discussion Boards – there are three started now. More to come…
*Have something that you think should be on Facebook but would rather it be posted in the name of Herff Jones Yearbooks rather than your name? Send it to us.

eShare for Everyone
Beginning immediately, you can enroll in eShare. This is available at no additional cost to all schools, regardless of size or program. Think about how many moms and dads with digital cameras are at school events. If you were a photo-submitting parent, wouldn’t buying the yearbook be a given?
Now all schools can:
*involve every parent on the PTA – parents can upload photos of classroom events the day they happen and the adviser can access them for placement in the yearbook
*create calling cards with the eShare access code on it – you can hand these calling cards to the professional photographer or any parent taking photos on campus
*involve the students by letting them selecting photos and help with writing captions
*advertise uploading photos on the school website using the web banner attached to this email
How to sign up for eShare:
1. If you have not already done so, ask your rep for an adviser account in YBAccess.
2. Email your Customer Service Adviser and let her know that you want to sign up for eShare.
3. Wait for an email.
4. Once the eShare site is activated, you will receive an email notification. You must log on to the Administrative site www.hjeshare.com/eShareAdmin with your YBAccess username and password. You must specify an “Up Date” and a “Down Date” in the Preferences tab to indicate when your school’s eShare site will be active to their school community. At this time, you should note your specific school code.
5. Use the school code to advertise eShare to the community. Use the eShare flier (under the files section of our Google group) or create calling cards using perforated Avery business cards to hand out at PTA meetings or in the front office. Link the web banner (also on the Google site) to the school’s website for easy access to the eShare site and you are ready to go!
