The School Place

The School Place is an alliance of independently owned parent-teacher stores where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. By combining resources, individual members are able to achieve a higher level of business success.

The School Place increases your sales and profits by exposing a common brand to a large, nation-wide audience of teachers, schools, and parents through nation-wide marketing activities including teacher magazine ads, template-based email campaigns, and a central web site.

Member businesses are licensed to display The School Place trade marks in both their stores and their marketing materials, thus drawing a connection between your local business and the broader marketing campaigns from the consumer’s perspective.

Membership in The School Place is free! It is funded co-operatively by Educators Resource and industry suppliers.
