FlagandBanner Explains How Back to School Means More Than Crayons and Glue
Little Rock, Ark. (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- Each year consumers are inundated with back to school advertisements starting in mid-July. Most of these ads focus on the students' needs such as clothing and supplies but administrators and teachers are also heading back to school, too. Schools from pre-K to collegiate level have varying needs throughout the school year for items not found on the traditional back to school list.
FlagandBanner.com has noticed that the needs of the educator are a little different depending on the age group involved or their educational niche. For the first time, FlagandBanner.com is offering a 15% discount to educators on in stock products and free art set up on custom orders. This discount will be available from July 29, 2013 until September 3, 2013.
Some examples of the type of different or unique items educators and administrators may be looking for are listed below:
History, social science or literature teachers, for example, often seek out posters with historical and educational facts that engage the students for their classroom walls. FlagandBanner.com recognized this need after talking with teachers and carries a line of educational posters for educators which the company plans to continue to expand on. If educators have specific ideas or requests for educational posters they can e-mail Kerry.McCoy(at)flagandbanner(dot)com with suggestions or even request custom posters.
Band directors may be looking for custom marching banners or hardware and parade accessories for the upcoming holiday parade season. These banners come in many styles and formats and are available with or without hardware packages.
School principals may not be on the hunt for glue sticks and writing paper but they may be seeking ways to direct traffic around the school pick up and drop off area for parents. One of the best ways to direct traffic is with string pennants. The pennants are easy to use for marking the pick up area. The pennants are eye catching and colorful and keeps staff from having to direct traffic.
School athletic directors or coaches may be looking for ways to make their teams stand out. One of the more popular options the last few years is using breakaway banners. In the past, paper banners were used but now players get to tear through vinyl banners with colorful images without waste. The banner uses hook and loop fastenings down the center allowing it to be put back together for the next game. Because of the great flexibility of breakaway banners their longevity and usefulness for other events make them a bargain for many school sports programs.
Another popular item for school athletic programs, high school or collegiate level, are spirit flags that can be used during events to rally teams and used as school identification at events.
School administrators, club advisors and others may also be looking for unique fundraising opportunities for their various programs. Many schools have been trying alternative fundraisers to the standard gift wrap and candy programs of the past. FlagandBanner.com has several fundraising options available for schools such as selling branded mascot gift items or selling American flags and flag kits.
ROTC sponsors may also be looking for parade accessories, or new or replacement parade flags and poles for the honor guard.
Over the last 15 years schools and universities have turned to custom street pole banners or other flags and banners for special events, special anniversaries, identification, campus beautification or directional needs for large campuses.
