FC Yearbook claims big gains for digital format yearbooks

FC Yearbook app

FC Yearbook  reports its FC Yearbook app has become more popular in the lockdown world of COVID-19 with schools and with yearbook committees. FC Yearbook said it is producing digital yearbooks across the country, with new orders coming in daily.

Launched in 2015 by Fanny and Robert Davidson, FC Yearbook originally was marketed to print yearbook companies as a digital add-on to their services. Now, FC Yearbook is a standalone interactive digital yearbook that is seeing a dramatic spike in interest from yearbook end-users during the coronavirus pandemic, the company says.

The FC Yearbook app brings works with or without an existing print edition. Students can interact one-to-one and sign, message, sticker and create videos in each other’s yearbooks. The patented and secure platform also offers strict privacy and parental controls.

“Schools are delighted with having the yearbook on their phones and tablets and sharing personal memories with classmates,” says Robert Davidson. “If there is any bright spot in canceled classes and students (including our own 5th grader and 8-grader) studying alone at home, amidst a terrifying global pandemic, it’s that they still can connect with one another and close out their school year with a virtual yearbook signing day. We’re happy that the FC Yearbook platform is providing a fun and affordable way for schools and students to end a very unusual and difficult year on a happier note.”

“FC Yearbook has patented features that provide an interactive, digital experience that has particular resonance at this time,” says Fanny Davidson. “Your yearbook is a place where you should be able to share and store personal memories to last a lifetime. FC enables that. Previous industry efforts to add new technology to yearbooks overlooked the all-important personal, one-to-one notes, messages and signatures that can be the most precious memories of all.”
