Offer a Service: Yearbook Sales to Alumni

Do you sell old yearbooks to alumni?

From Tracy Crowe Jones ’94, Director of Alumni Relations for Central Methodist University, Fayette, MO:

All of our old yearbooks are housed in my department.  We sell them for $15.  There isn’t much of a profit, but it does cover shipping and bring in a little extra money to the alumni association.  We sell them more as a service to our alumni than as a profit-making endeavor.  On our alumni website we have a list of the years for which we have leftover yearbooks so people know ahead of time if what they are looking for is available.  If a yearbook is not available I often point the alum to eBay.  You can save a search on eBay and get notification when something with your search parameters is listed.  Almost weekly I see at least one of our older yearbooks on eBay.
