If your school has offered yearbook ad sales and you would like to purchase one, we would like to provide you with the following guide to create a successful ad! If you have further questions or are stuck at any point, please call our Tech Support line at 888-926-6571 ext. 2.

Step 1:  First, you will need to navigate to our online store website, LiNK. Click here to go to our LiNK site, or type link.entourageyearbooks.com into your web browser. It is recommended to design and purchase your ad on a computer instead of a smartphone, as not all functions on this site are currently available through smartphone. Once on the main page, enter the name of your school under the Search For Your School text. Make sure the school has the correct delivery year, and if your school does not appear, please contact your school to confirm whether the ad sales are available.

Step 2: Choose Buy Ads under the Purchase section of the school page.

Step 3: Login with your existing LiNK username and password, or register as a new user.

Step 4:  Select the red Purchase and Design Ad button beneath your desired ad size to begin. If you have previously started designing and did not finish an ad, you can select the blue Go to my Started Ads button underneath the ad choices.

Step 5: Once you have chosen your ad size, our ad designer will load. If this designer does not load, please make sure that you are using Google Chrome or Firefox as your browser, and that you have a strong internet connection. The first item that will appear when the ad designer loads successfully is the Insert Template Menu. Choose the template that you would like to use and it will load in your ad.

A small popup window will appear. In this window, select the third tab at the top labeled Upload. Then, select the orange Browse button to select the pictures from your computer and upload them to the designer. If your picture is on your phone rather than your computer, you will want to email the picture to yourself from your phone and download it to your computer.

Once your photo is uploaded, it will appear in the first tab labeled Photos.  Click on the picture, then click on an empty photo box in your ad to deposit the picture. Once the picture is placed, you can crop it by clicking the Crop/Edit button from the Quick Menu that appears when the photo is selected. 

Next, double click on any of the text boxes to edit the text. You can also press the T button from the left menu to insert a new text box. When a text box is selected, the Quick Menu will show text formatting options where you can change the font style, size, and color of your text. Simply select the text and press the option/s in the menu. You can also click Text Edit Mode if you’d like the other contents in the designer to be temporarily hidden while you type in your text. Make sure to delete the sample texts before submitting the ad!

You can also change the shape and size of your photos and text boxes by clicking and dragging the blue circles on the corners of the text box.

You can change the background color of your chosen ad template by clicking on the background of your ad and then changing the Fill Color drop-down box on the left side of the designer or in the Frame Settings tab on the right.

Next, you will see a preview of your ad to make sure it looks the way you want. You can select the red Edit This Some More button in the lower right to go back and make more changes. Or, you may name your Ad, select the check box to approve the design and select the gray Purchase This button. 

Once you select the Purchase This button, you will be brought to the shopping cart. You can design more ads or add yearbooks to your cart by selecting the blue Continue Shopping button, enter a coupon code if your school has supplied you with one, or proceed to checkout by selecting the green Checkout button. 

Step 9: In the Billing Information page, enter your credit card billing details then click the blue Continue to Payment Info button.

Step 10: You will need to review your order one final time. Enter your credit card details and hit the blue Pay button.

If your payment is processed successfully, you will receive an emailed receipt. Congratulations on completing and purchasing your Ad Design!
