The
Basics
My
Old Yearbook™CD
costs $29.95 (plus $5.25 S&H) to alumni. All you have to do is
let
the alumni know that they can get their yearbook on CD and collect
payment
from the alumni - when 20 or more want it you order from us, we build
it
and ship to the alumni. Once it’s been built, we take and
ship orders as
they come in.
Our
Model
Our
business model requires a party between the alumni and ourselves. There
are several reasons for this but the best way to understand it is that
our core competencies are in producing a quality product, not in
managing
and maintaining a user database. The database has already been built,
and
a great deal of time and effort goes into managing it by the planners
(professional
planners or alumni reunion managers). Frankly, updating databases with
changes of address, tracking down alumni from a particular school,
etc.,
detracts from what we are good at: Building a Quality Product
The
"Third Party" is a Professional
Reunion Manager,
a member of a Reunion Committee,
or a member
of an Alumni Association.
Increasingly, we
have clients who don't fit neatly into any of these classifications -
and
that's okay too. The key to our business is in dealing with the
individual
who may be considered the "Contact Point" for a
graduating class.
Your
Incentive
We
offer an incentive to this third party for, in essence, advertising the
availability of My
Old Yearbook™CD.
All orders are processed
through the third party (the planner).
So you just let your alumni know that they can get their yearbook on
CD,
they place the orders with you and you collect for the CD's. When you
get
20 or more orders from alumni (the first time), you then place your
order
with us and include a yearbook (if it's not already in our library) and
the Ship To address of the recipients. When the first order of 20 is
received,
we ship the yearbook back to you along with a FREE
Planners Version CD that allows you easily create
name badges and slide shows
for the reunion. The Planners Version is the same as the Alumni Version
with additional features. After the first order of 20, we will make and
ship the CD's on an as-ordered basis, as they come in from you.
What
this model does for the planner is: you keep
no inventory, spend none of your own money, ship no product, and
collect
recompense up-front. We even
customize flyers
and forms with your school logo, etc. that can be e-mailed to you for
distribution
to the alumni.We
do this as a courtesy for our clients.
