Why Schools Love Picaboo Yearbooks

Every school yearbook is more than just photos and pages—it’s a legacy. Schools want their yearbooks to reflect their community, their moments—and Picaboo Yearbooks has earned praise for doing just that. Below are some of the reasons schools keep coming back, with real feedback straight from yearbook coordinators, advisors, and schools.

1. Outstanding Customer Support & Human Connections

What many yearbook advisors highlight first is support. It’s not just that there is a support team—it’s how responsive, kind, and helpful they are, especially when the pressure is on.

• “Absolute best customer service I’ve ever experienced.” Picaboo Yearbooks

• “They are always very friendly, responsive, and quick to answer any questions I may have during the process.” Picaboo Yearbooks+1

• “Keli and Rhi have been a delight to work with on a frequent basis! Responses were always quick, often with a personalized video walking me through how to complete the task.” Picaboo Yearbooks

Especially for advisors who are balancing many responsibilities, having a dedicated rep or account manager makes a big difference.

2. User‐Friendly Design Tools & Templates

Creating a yearbook is no small task. Schools praise how Picaboo Yearbooks software and tools simplify the design process, even for folks without design experience.

• “The program used to design the yearbook is very user-friendly and easy to navigate.” Picaboo Yearbooks

• “The software itself is easy to navigate even for those who may not have any experience with designing.” Picaboo Yearbooks+1

• “Pages are easy to design, and there are a lot of design options.” Picaboo Yearbooks

Templates, artwork, backgrounds, and themes are often mentioned as helpful features that speed up creation without sacrificing quality.

3. Quality of Product: Print, Covers, Colors

At the end of the day, the yearbook needs to look good and feel durable. Schools say Picaboo delivers.

• “They have always been absolutely phenomenal. The final yearbook has such vibrant colors! Both hardcover and softcover look amazing.” Picaboo Yearbooks

• “The books have come out great each year and my school community has greatly appreciated them as well.” Picaboo Yearbooks

Things like paper weight, binding, finishes are called out as going above average.

4. Speedy Turnaround / Reliable Delivery

Deadlines in schools are real—and often tight. Schools love that Picaboo Yearbooks reliably delivers on time (or even early).

• “Production time was reasonable and we actually received the yearbooks BEFORE the estimated date of delivery.” Picaboo Yearbooks

• “Once you submit your yearbook for production, we’ll have it printed, bound, and delivered … in 3 weeks (15 business days).” Picaboo Yearbooks+1

That predictability is a huge relief when coordinating prints, cover reveal, distribution, etc.

5. Flexibility, Customization & Features

Beyond basic “photo + names,” many schools mention features that help personalize the yearbook and adapt to their needs.

• “One of the best things about Picaboo Yearbooks is their team that is ready to help at a moment’s notice. Any issues we have had (albeit very few), they has been able to quickly and efficiently turn them around.” Picaboo Yearbooks

• “Our school has been using Picaboo for almost five years now and they continue to deliver!” Picaboo Yearbooks

• “Customization feature for parents, the online ordering and the option to open the store and have books shipped directly.” Picaboo Yearbooks

Schools also like that there are resources and tutorials, and that the platform supports collaboration (team members, advisors, students).

6. Cost Savings & Financial Transparency

Switching yearbook providers often comes with concerns about price. Many schools say Picaboo doesn’t just match expectations—it helps them save or get more value.

• On the Picaboo site, they highlight: “We have saved our schools millions of dollars over the years when they switch from traditional yearbook companies.” Picaboo Yearbooks+1

• Also, schools appreciate there are no surprise fees, that extras (cover design, shipping, etc.) are made clear. Picaboo Yearbooks+1
