Always on time, always on budget, and always spectacular service

"One of the things that stands out about yb-squared is the service that I get from our Yearbook Rep. It's not just a weekly visit, but rather an opportunity for my students to learn from our rep and gain something to make their pages better."

- Melissa Casady, 16+ Year Adviser

Great Oak High School, Temecula Ca

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"Towards the end of my junior year, yb-squared noticed my hard work and asked me to join their team and paid me to edit other schools' pages. During my senior year, I continued to work for them and even received a very generous scholarship. I learned so much from them and gained real world experience I can apply to any situation. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them!" 

 

—  Cori Graham - Editor, Glendora High School

What We Believe

WHAT WE BELIEVE

OUR MISSION:

Is to provide Yearbook Advisers and students with mind-blowing service, cutting-edge technology, real-world training and premium-quality.

Mind-Blowing Service

For all of those with whom we are privileged to work with, it means doing everything we can think of to make not just their yearbooks better, but their lives, too.

Cutting-Edge Technology

We give our schools licenses for the entire Adobe Creative Suite, making it possible for students throughout the school to gain experience with cutting-edge software.

Real-World Training

Our highly-trained reps are ready to teach and train students on a weekly basis, making it possible for students to master the software even if their advisers are still learning the basics.

Premium-Quality

Our books truly look better! This is because we take the time to individually open and edit every candid photo. What seals the deal, however, is the quality provided by our partner, O’neil Printing.

THE     EXPERIENCE

REP SERVICE

“Each year my students are given the skills that they need and are able to enhance the ones that they already have."

- Melissa Casady, Adviser: Great Oak High School

A new definition of “hands-on”

     For as long as any of us care to remember, a yearbook visits maybe once a month. He or she just pops in for an hour, asks, “How’s it going?” and then heads off to the next appointment.  We don’t do it that way.

     Our business model makes sure that our high schools see their reps every week.  At least.  And our appointments are designed to provide you with what you need.  Every rep who walks into a classroom comes prepared with a wealth of knowledge at his or her fingertips, ready to teach everything from a lesson on writing captions to a quick demonstration of how to cut out the background on a photo.

     We encourage our reps to schedule longer appointments, sometimes even visiting a school for two or three hours at a time, helping the students during the yearbook class and then staying into your planning period to answer the questions that just don’t get addressed when 30 students are all clamoring for your attention. We customize our visits to meet your needs, not ours.

Top-tier training

      Most of our reps were successful yearbook advisors.  All of them have been trained by Bret Barrett, our sales and marketing director, who was an award-winning yearbook advisor before he became a yearbook representative.

     For our reps who were not teachers, we have created a unique partnership with some of our prized advisors, who have agreed to take new reps under their wings.  In essence, we make our reps become student teachers who learn every aspect of production from an advisor who has mastered it.  Yes, it is more expensive to train reps this way.  But if you think about it, shouldn’t the person helping you do your yearbook have worked on creating one before? We wouldn’t have it any other way.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR OWNERS

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

     The process of creating yearbooks has never been harder. That's why, even as our competition has been dropping prices, we have been upping our service. In every single area of yearbook production, we offer services that make books better and take things off of advisers' plates. Paying a lower price sounds good, but spending more time with your family is even better. You deserve a better yearbook and a better life. We can help.

​

Gratefully yours,

Bret and Miriam Barrett
