Before Your Program Starts…
Use our program as a Fundraiser to generate money for your school.
The Teacher Tailored Program makes the perfect fundraiser for school’s or parent organizations looking to make extra money. Simply mark up the cost of your kits and earn profit (you can also use our program as a general service to parents).
Make use of our Program Commitment and Order Turn-In Discounts.
SchoolKidz offers you many way to earn additional discounts with your program which can be achieved by signing up for our program early and having your orders into us early as well.
Earn Extra cash with our Referral Program by referring other schools.
Your school can earn extra cash by referring our Teacher Tailored Program to other neighboring schools. Ask your Account Representative for more information on this program.
Have a Kindergarten? Enroll in our Kindergarten Welcome Mat™ Program.
Reach out to parents with students just entering school. Your Kindergarten Welcome Mat runs during your Walk-In Kindergarten Registration and the kits will be delivered with the rest of your kits at the end of your Teacher Tailored Program.
Allow 2 – 3 Weeks for Your Parents to Order Their School Supply Kits
By allowing your parents ample time to order, you open up the opportunity for parents who may have forgotten during that first week when the order form came home.
Offer Additional Items Such As Backpacks On Your SchoolKidz Order Forms
SchoolKidz offers the opportunity for schools to offer additional items for purchase by parents on their order forms. These items can also be marked up to earn additional revenue.
At Your School…
