EDUCATION NEWS
Small Vendors Left Out of Schools’ Book Purchasing
Even as recently as last year, the process by which books ended up in New York classrooms bore more resemblance to Avon than Amazon. Scores of salespeople traversed the city, going from school to school, peddling so-called trade books: the novels, works of nonfiction, test guides and other publications that teachers use to supplement textbooks. But the city has transformed the way it buys these books, abandoning the decades-old process in which numerous vendors competed in door-to-door or bazaar-like settings, to one in which nearly all such books — literally millions of volumes — are purchased via computer from two large discount wholesalers that have promised savings of at least 30 percent.

Retail Awareness Study Available FREE to Members
Despite a down economy and cash-strapped schools, it is estimated that public school teachers spent $3.1 billion in educational products purchased in the 2009-2010 school year, according to the recently-released NSSEA 2010 NSSEA Retail Market Awareness Study. This study, conducted by Perry Research Professionals this spring, reports on teachers' knowledge of parent-teacher stores, including their spending patterns, funding sources, shopping preferences, and factors that influence their purchasing decisions.
Want to learn more about what teachers are spending and where they are shopping? NSSEA members can download a free copy of the 2010 NSSEA Retail Market Awareness Study from the online store. Nonmembers can order the report for $199.
