If you are a teacher, how do I get your attention

[turnipvontrapp]

if I am sending you something in the post, advertising a product?

Does it need to include chocolate for you to open the envelope or would a sample game make you open it?

We have been told we have got a great product by the schools using our activities, by inspectors/ advisors etc but where we fall down is lack of time and lack of marketing experience (only 2 of us working on a business we set up a few years ago, very much part-time due to young children).

If it has the words free resources on I will forward to the relevant co ordinator - however it really has to catch my eye cos as everyone says the junk mail that comes to the school could fuel a small power station! Generally if you phone up and ask for co ordinators name that will help especially if it has FREE ABSOLUTELY FREE RESOURCES printed on the front of theenvelope!! Most schools are strapped for cash!! So free to start with and not exorbitant prices afterwards! No good luring them with freebies only to whammy them with the main product which the head will just veto!! Good luck! The chocolate works for me though!!

Thanks Rufus, great advice.
