I’ve worked with Walsworth for six years and I’ve had the “other publishing” companies try to win my business, but why would I? Walsworth has been superior in customer service, computer support and the quality of their product is simply amazing. They are a family-owned business and they’ve always done right by me. I just love my rep, Veronika and Walsworth!

Walsworth also has excellent customer service. Veronika Levine is a wonderful yearbook representative to work with. I have been working with her for nine years. She is always available when I need her. Because she lives nearby she is always able to drop by and check in on our progress. On several occasions she has come in to help us finish a deadline or finish our proofs. She is very experienced when it comes to producing yearbooks. She is also extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the software we use. Veronika resolves all problems quickly and efficiently. If she can’t fix it for you then she finds someone who can. What I like the most about working with Veronika is that she is honest. She will tell you when something is not possible or when something you are planning isn’t going to look right in your book. She is always up front about cost and there are never any surprises on my final bill.

In a rough world full of changes, and many of those changes ringing in on the negative side, Veronika is a constant positive. In teaching and in business and personally, one rarely finds a friend or colleague who goes beyond your expectation in all contexts as Veronika does and will.

I switched to Walsworth from Josten’s, not only for the upgraded graphics capabilities, but most importantly for the customer service. Walsworth is represented in the factory and on the sales side, by ethical, creative, helpful people who will bend over backwards to support their customers. There is always a small town friendliness about the people you deal with, when you call into the company. I believe that loyalty to customers is very important, and Walsworth delivers that loyalty and quality, every year.

Do I recommend her as a yearbook rep? Wholeheartedly. Walsworth Publishing is a good company and has reps here in South Florida that have good journalism backgrounds. I have landed in a good place, and as long as I am advising, I plan to stay with Veronika Levine and Walsworth Publishing Company.

Veronika is the difference! During our five years working together, she has been there every step of the way, even perfecting our proofs for us. Last year, we received our books early, and we turned in the copy/layouts at the same time(s) as we did with Herff. This was able to happen because of Veronika’s help and input, especially with adapting to the new technology. For the first time this year, we were able to send all our deadline and proofs totally online. We only had to send in our panel disc through Fed-Ex. I strongly recommend ANY school to switch to Walsworth. They will NOT be sorry.

Of course I am not a sales person for them, but I have been SO happy with Walsworth & my rep so far.  We were with LifeTouch and I felt that the yearbook to them was such a small part of their business, that the program and support wasn’t meeting my needs.

>My Walsworth rep visited 4 times this year, plus she has a great end of the year party!  Their graphics are cool – and the program is user friendly. This year we even made our own color (a collage of differernt pictures colored with crayone).  I even used their online support one night at home.  The price was comparable.

I highly recommend both Walsworth, Ms. Levine and the online program. I LOVE Walsworth and the OnLine InDesign program! It allows my kids to work at home and get stuff done when we run so short on time during class! I’ve never had any problems with the program and it’s REALLY easy to use. They provided me with 3 really great support books that show the steps to do specific things and it’s easy. It resembles InDesign but as an Adviser, it gives you ultimate control of who works on what spread etc. I like that option because I have several students who shouldn’t have access to specific areas and I was able to keep them “out” of it. None of my students had worked in InDesign before so they picked it up quickly too!

OnLine Design also allowed me to view who’s signing in and working and for how long. Thus, able to grade more accurately with those who actually worked and just didn’t say they did. You as an Advisor have control over things which is what I liked. I was a new Advisor this year and didn’t really know anything about things, but it worked well for us.

We got all our credits for our pages. It’s easier with Online Design than InDesign becasue every page becomes a PDF so you get the credit instantly. It makes less work for Walsworth so you get the money back. We averaged about $250 a flat, but as a larger book like yours, you’d probably get more back.

As for Walsworth and Ms. Levine, she’s great! I can’t say enough nice things about her! She walked me through MANY issues and was always available via email, phone and texting! My customer service person is so helpful and computer support always got back to me in a timely manner. They also offered a Summer Workshop in August for 2 days which allowed two of my students and myself the opportunity to learn specific things and they supplied us with a whole flash drive full of presenations, worksheets and lesson plans to help get kids on the same page. I’m still using them!

To call Veronika merely a sales rep truly does her an injustice. As a new adviser last year I was clearly over my head when it came to assembling a yearbook, despite a degree in print journalism and a news reporting background. Veronika was patient, cheerful and positive every time we worked together. She took time to visit my school and conduct mini-lessons for my greenhorn middle school staff on Online Design, she took phone calls on weekends and after business hours and she never stopped encouraging us to keep working.

Her positive persistence paid off; not only was our book selected for the Walsworth Gallery of Excellence, but it was also awarded a silver medal by CSPA and the honor rating of First Class with Two Marks of Distinction by NSPA. I was also the first time our school’s book sold out. None of these honors or recognitions would have occurred without Veronika’s guidance.

Due to budget cuts, my yearbook program has been completely disbanded. There is no class, no club, and I am receiving absolutely no stipend to create this year’s book by myself in my spare time. Throughout what I perceived to be another trying year, Veronika has been supportive and positive yet again. When my colleagues (including fellow yearbook advisers) ask why in the world I would subject myself to so much work I simply tell them that I made a commitment to my sales rep, and I knew she would be there to support me. That in itself should speak volumes about the kind of person she is, personally and professionally.

I am writing this to let you know how happy I am with Walsworth as our schools yearbook company. This is my second year with them and I couldn’t be happier. In the past I was with Lifetouch for 9 years. While there is really nothing wrong with their yearbook program, I must admit that I like many of the features that Walsworth program offers better. They have tools on their website that Lifetouch didn’t offer when I used them. Another thing that is much better about Walsworth is the customer service. I see my rep every 4-6 weeks and she answers questions that come up in-between our appointments either by phone or emails in a very timely manner. The training videos and the live chat feature on the website are extremely helpful as well. I would not consider changing yearbooks with a great program, excellent customer service and a yearbook rep that is always there to help and encourage there is no other yearbook company for me.
