According to our seventh annual marketing to teachers survey, conducted in partnership with Agile Education Marketing, 9 in 10 teachers said they used their own money to fill the gap in their school budgets. Before the pandemic closed schools, 87% spent personal money on classroom supplies, but after the shutdown, more than 40% bought technology to support teaching from home.
Teachers need our help, and brands that use personalized offers to provide it can win teachers’ loyalty. When offered a teacher discount, 80% of teachers said they would try a new brand, and half said they would buy more and purchase sooner.
