By  Sara Lavenduski

Education

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there are nearly 100,000 public schools across the United States, any of which are potential customers of education products. For pen sales, look to schools in the Midwest, where 68% of consumers own a logoed pen.

Case Study

Excel With Education

While school may not start until next month or September, now is an excellent time to start creating solutions for education buyers. That way, they’ll be sure to have just what they need before the first day’s bell.

Fortunately, industry suppliers are stocked with an array of products that clients in the education field will love. Consider a highlighter made of wax gel from Norwood by BIC Graphic (asi/74400), which won’t dry out even when the cap isn’t replaced. An eraser with a fun swirl pattern from Zenith Promotions (asi/98980) will certainly be noticed by students and their parents. Also exciting, the X-Temp T-shirt from Hanesbrands (asi/59528) fits right in during gym class or after-school sports.

According to the Institute of Education Sciences, there are approximately 4 million elementary school teachers in America. Any one of them would appreciate a customized wooden bookmark from Unique Custom Products (asi/92531) to commemorate their students’ achievements during the school year, or a crossbody laptop backpack from Continental Marketing Service, Inc. (asi/46420) to carry their own devices, folders and important papers.

For the graduates, a graduation time countdown clock from Countdown Clocks (asi/45451) is a clever way to celebrate the days leading up to the diploma. Pro Towels (asi/79750) also offers a fun commemorative piece: a terry velour towel that can be printed with up to 600 signatures in a graduating class.
