Economic stimulus:  Those two words bring out varied responses from everyone asked to voice an opinion.  One thing I believe almost everyone agrees on is that education is a excellent area for some of the funds.  We work with schools all over the country, from preschools through college, and often see teachers using their own funds to help their students get the products required.  I have purchased multiple items for my kids classrooms at the beginning of each school year that were always provided for free when I was in school.  Times have changed but the need for a quality education has not. 

The government is allocating resources to every state for education related purchases.  Title 1, ARRA, IDEA, EETT...these are some of the names out there right now.  Wading through all the regulations, etc. is a daunting task but at least some funding is coming.  Here at Encore Data Products we are excited to be a part of the process to equip our schools with the equipment they need.  As a small business we are able to act fast and respond quickly to customer requests and inquiries; our goal is to keep the red tape out of the buying process.

School headphones, listening centers, carts, tables, chairs, projectors, media players and more; we are happy to provide you with the information you need to make sure  you purchase the correct products for your schools.  

Please call or email with questions, bid requests or anything else; our staff is happy to help!

Hamilton and Buhl products are top sellers in the school market.  Please check out our education section for a complete selection.  We look forward to working with you.

Growing up in the years before laptops for students and MP3 players I can remember that feeling of relief when we showed up to class and saw the film projector ready to roll.  45 minutes of a bad movie was better than writing a report.  Even the filmstrip player was a step above...

The technology has definitely changed since I was in school; check out this clip from the classic show Freaks & Geeks to see what the top technology used to look like.  

One of our newer products that crosses boundaries is the Buhl XMS Media Player.  This handy little device is used in schools, offices, and more.  We are seeing the XMS being used in funeral homes for tribute playbacks, in conference rooms by people doing presentations on the road and more.  It can handle your powerpoint presentations and is a must for your trade show presentations.

The staff at Encore Data Products is busy working on some fundraising ideas for schools.  Maybe it is the extra pounds from all the cookie dough, bread etc. that has been purchased over the years but I think our upcoming program will be a decent alternative to the usual methods. 

As soon as we finalize the details I will post everything on our blog; if you are interested in learning about an easy way to earn money for your school please give us a call:  303-926-1669 or drop me an email:  jeff.burgess at encoredataproducts.com

Our education product list continues to grow with some excellent items by Hamilton, Buhl, Telex, Luxor, Califone and more.

Will economic stimulus funds for schools actually help schools?  Google "stimulus funds for schools" and you will find a huge array of articles and opinions on the subject.  I believe as long as the funds end up actually going to the schools it has to be a huge bonus.  Educators have a huge responsibility when it comes to educating our children; the absolute least we can do is provide them with the needed tools to do their jobs successfully.  I have yet to meet a teacher who is doing their job strictly for the paycheck. 

Encore Data Products is a small company in the world of corporate players.  That has some drawbacks for us in that we don't have the budget to fly sales reps around the U.S. for all the trade shows and sponsored events.  BUT a huge benefit for our customers is we pick up the phone and work personally with each and every client who needs assistance.  Customer service is important and we make that a top priority.  Also since our overhead is much lower than many companies out there our pricing is very competitive.

Our online store is easy to navigate and many schools find and order exactly what they need.  We field many calls to confirm headphone cord type, AV cart sizes, etc.  We love working with schools across the U.S. and beyond; it is important to us you receive the service and product you expect.

One of our biggest selling points is our FREE SHIPPING policy for orders shipped in the lower 48 states.   When you order from Encore Data Products you know exactly what you are paying...no surprises.  

Schools often have credit cards but just as often require ordering by purchase orders.  With Encore Data Products all we require is a faxed, mailed or emailed copy of your PO; there is no delay in setting up your school for open terms.

Our education lines include Hamilton Electronics, Buhl Industries, Califone, Telex, Luxor Furniture and more.

If you are looking for an educational product supplier please visit us at www.encoredataproducts.com or call 866-926-1669; we would love to hear from you!

School purchase orders...we love them!  Here at Encore Data Products we work with schools around the U.S.  Hopefully some of the promised stimulus funds are reaching your local school district.  As students start the trek back for the new year we are seeing more purchases to replace all the worn out headphones, broken AV carts and missing parts.  My favorite story to date is from a teacher who had to replace headphone cords that the kids had chewed on.  Sounds like lunch needs to come a little earlier!
