End of the School Year Blues

Well, another school year has come to an end. Soon the classrooms and halls will be empty (aside from a few janitors and administrative folks) and the joyful laughter and shrieks of the children will be a distant, fading echo.

Don't be sad, teachers. There's a another school year and a whole new group of kids on the way!

One of the fun parts about this job is seeing the work people send us, and this is the time of year when we are absolutely flooded with yearbooks and memory books. I don't have any statistics to back this up off hand, but I'd say of the book jobs we've been printing over the last couple weeks, over half have been school-related. This means we get to see a sliver of what kids have been up to this year, and it looks like everyone's been having a grand old time.

One thing that can cramp the good times is the cost of printing these books. Because of the myriad fiscal problems schools across the country are facing, a lot of schools have had to scale back their yearbooks. Sad as it is, overall it's better to sacrifice a little luxury in your yearbooks than to have to actually cut back on the quality of education kids get.

But one thing people know they're not sacrificing at Docucopies is print quality and service. Despite the volume, we're churning out our color copies, books and booklets as good as ever, paying close attention to detail and keeping vital communication with our clients. After all, nothing would ruin a child's last day at school quite like getting a misprinted year book!

Here's a couple tips for saving more money when ordering your school yearbooks and memory books at Docucopies.com:

• If your total is over $350, use the "10off" coupon code for 10% off your total
• If your total is under $350, you can still use the "np5" (non-profit) 5% discount for schools

We hope it's been a good year for students and teachers alike... now go enjoy the summer!
