DISTRIBUTION DAY

• Check out herff.ly/ybk-day for tips, tricks and resources.
• Will you be moving boxes and setting up tables? Do you need help?
• How will you handle “extras” such as name plates, dust jackets and autograph supplements?
• Think through how you’ll distribute personalized books without mixing up names.
• Will students need places to sign books? Will it be a party atmosphere?
• How will students prove their payments? Did you know Herff Jones has wristbands you can hand out as entry tickets to your events?
• Make a kit for last-minute sales with a receipt book, computer, pens and money collection envelopes. Make sure you have staffers assigned to a sales table.
• Print a distribution list from eBusiness and resolve any potential issues such as duplicate orders, balances due, missing information or students who have moved.
• If you opt for name plates, you should receive them in time to check spelling and cross-check against your eBusiness list. If you
  check these as soon as they arrive, you may even have time to order replacements.
• When books arrive, take a minute to have a big reveal moment with your staffers. Make it special, and take lots of pictures! Send them to us at ybk@herffjones.com.
• Inspect and count all of your books when they arrive. We try to send extras to account for any scuffs acquired during shipping.
• Don’t forget to pull books for your classroom, administrators, the library, contests and critiques. When you get down to about five books, start a waiting list.
• Keep entering all sales into eBusiness so your records are correct.

AND ANOTHER THING

• It’s time to get your spring supplement done! Allow two to three weeks for printing and shipping.
• Get next year’s staffers together and let them know about summer workshops. Plan some whole-staff activities for the spring.
• Look for summer workshops in your area and start the paperwork to make those happen.
