Something New For NAEIR Members

In just a few weeks NAEIR will be testing a new concept: one charge pricing with free shipping.  The products offered in this test will be smaller, highly demanded items – sort of a “build your own assortment” concept.  These are items that NAEIR members use everyday in their schools, churches, and nonprofit organizations.

Currently, for most items offered through our mini catalogs, the special offers program, and NAEIR e-xpress, products are made available for a handling charge plus shipping.  For this test, there will be one nominal charge – no additional charge for shipping.  NAEIR members will be able to acquire products for a fraction of the value that the items are actually worth.

The items in this test will include office supplies, personal care items, book sets, and a few other surprises.

You can request these items through our website or by completing and returning the request form.  The minimum order for our one charge, pricing test is $25.  These are items with large quantities available, so take this opportunity to stock up on some great deals.

After you have experienced one charge pricing with free shipping, let us know what you think.  If this is something that NAEIR members want to see more of, we can put together more offers in the future.

No having to request products by the pallet load, or in assortments.  No wondering if the product is going to be available or not.  No concern about the shipping charges – this is the simplest, easiest way yet to receive products through NAEIR.

Watch for your flyer around the middle of August 2011.

School Year Starter Kit

NAEIR members will soon have the opportunity to receive over $450 worth of school supplies for only $36! 

Our product distribution team at NAEIR has put together a Kids School Year Starter Kit that will be made available to members on July 15, 2011.  The products in this assortment include watercolor markers, pens, pencils, erasers, writing paper, pencil sharpeners, colored pencils, rainbow pencils with glow erasers, tin pencil cases, and more.  This kit contains over 450 total pieces.

Give these products to the children that you serve to supplement their school supply needs.  During these tough economic times, many parents can use some support in providing their children with expensive school supplies.  The products in the School Year Starter Kit can really help stretch a tight budget. 

This kit also provides a chance to supply teachers with extra products to have on hand in their classrooms.   In a recent survey of teachers conducted by NAEIR, 75% of the teachers that responded stated that they spend over $150 out of their own pockets on supplies for their classrooms during the school year.  Spending $150 in handling for School Year Starter Kits would result in over $1,800 worth of supplies.  That’s the equivalent of providing supplies for twelve of the teachers that answered our survey!

Where else are you going to be able to get a 10 to 1 return on your investment?  Don’t stop with just one kit, request as many Kids School Year Starter Kits as your organization can use.  And now with NAEIR’s pick up option, you don’t even have to pay the shipping to get the assortments to your organization.  You can stop by NAEIR’s warehouse and pick up your school supplies assortments.

These kits are going to go quick.  Watch for your flyer in the mail, or check the NAEIR website, www.naeir.org, on July 15^th.

Time to start thinking about school supplies
