How to Succeed in the Education
Marketplace
Expand Your Buying Power
In January 2014 the Education Market
Association entered into an exclusive
agreement with Independent Stationers,
a dealer group within the office products
industry. This new affiliate alliance gives
participating EDmarket members access to
sales growth and margin-improving programs
ideal for companies who want to work with
large volume school districts as a stock-less
dealer or to complement their retail sales.
At the forefront of this alliance is the recently
awarded School Supply Contract for U.S.
Communities, the leading national cooperative
purchasing program for K-12 school districts,
higher education, state and local public
agencies and non-profit organizations. This
new award to Independent Stationers adds
to their already successful U.S. Communities
office products contract. As a participating
affiliate under this new alliance with
Independent Stationers, EDmarket members
have the opportunity to participate in one
or both of these contracts opening up sales
opportunities within school districts, other
public agencies and non-profits all over the
United States.
