EDmarket Membership
Membership in the Education Market
Association showed an increase this year in
part to the special offer to the members of
the Independent Stationer Group who were
welcomed in to membership in January
2014 with a 6-month membership trial. These
companies are navigating the education
market as both office and school products
become increasingly integrated in the sales
process. Many of these new members
attended EDexpo as a result of the co-location
with the Independent Stationers Regional
Meeting in Dallas.
