Norman asked:


I work at Office Depot, and we’re about to rent a booth out at a local Home School conference and tell different home school teachers and groups some of the advantages we can offer them.

Assuming you’re a home school teacher, what sort of benefits would you be interested in? We give home school teachers our normal Worklife Rewards, as well as Star Teacher discounts and Back To School donations that go straight to the teacher.

But as an employee that has limited ability in creating actual discounts and the like, what services can I offer to home schoolers to show Office Depot’s support? What would be helpful from an office supply store?

Question Addict asked:


I currently work in a teacher supply store. The owners are teachers, they have not been able to decide what they are doing. Since they have opened they have added scrapbook supplies, christian items, office supplies and gifts. They are failing. They are selling the business. They offered it to me. I would want to turn it into a school supply store that catered more to the homeschooling sect. Maybe even offer craft classes for the little ones or supply space for someone to teach a unit study, the attendees would pay for it and I would get a cut of it. Maybe turn the back room into small lab room?

Would this be of interest to anyone?
