Is It Automated or Do You Need to Place the Order Yourself?
When preparing to launch your yearbook project, marketing materials, like posters, flyers, order forms, and yard signs, play a crucial role in building awareness and driving engagement. But many creators wonder: Do I need to order these myself, or is it handled automatically?
🛒 Ordering Is Not Automated
Marketing materials are not automatically ordered as part of your production process. To ensure you receive the right items, you’ll need to:
- Place your own order through the Link platform.
- Confirm quantities, formats, and delivery details to match your campaign needs.
This gives you full control over what’s produced and when it arrives.
🤝 Coordinating with Your Account Manager
If you’re working with an account manager, you can:
- Request support placing the order or ask them to place it on your behalf.
- Discuss timing and customization options to align with your launch strategy.
- Bundle marketing materials with other shipments if applicable.
Account managers are there to help streamline the process, especially for larger campaigns or school-wide initiatives.
✅ Best Practices
To stay on track:
- Order early to avoid delays, especially during peak seasons.
- Review proofs and specs before finalizing your order.
- Ask about available kits or bundles that may offer better value.
To start working on your marketing materials, in your yearbook dashboard, click Create and select Marketing Materials.

📌 Bottom Line
Marketing materials are a powerful tool, but they’re not automatically included. Whether you place the order yourself or coordinate with your account manager, taking initiative ensures your campaign gets the visibility it deserves.
