Just check it out and easily create a clean looking, easy to use calendar that will make everyone's life so much easier.

School Merchandising

So how does your high school do their merchandising? Does each sport team, club and group just do their own thing? The most effective way is to work together while still getting what you want and not having to let someone else do it. Getting your printing done out in the local area where you live may support your local small business but what is it doing for you and your school? Now don't get me wrong I am all about supporting small business and there is nothing more quaint and appreciative than a small business however, do you just pay more to pay more? The answer should be you do what you can to benefit your situation not anyone else's. So what am I talking about? Good question. Large companies work with large companies so that they can take advantage of two concepts, economies of scale and synergies. This is basically the idea of buying in bulk for big business. So take a few minutes to think about your situation and we can see what happens next. OurHighSchool.org has a very integrated way of selling merchandise for your school. You can sell items online without any inventory, shipping or other costs to you. If someone buys something from your school's online store you make money without doing a thing. They also have a print company that they work with that has no setup fees, no sales tax, shipping is alway free and guaranteed results. The best part is that the people at OurHighSchool.org are always available to help you with your graphic designs and will even setup the shirt online for you. So check them out and compare your current costs to what they have to offer.

We have all read the school newspaper. Some of these are high tech projects that don't need any help as they have great circulation rate and probably publish online as well. With the OurHighSchool.org network your school's writers and editors can write directly for your school's sports, activities, events and much more. It is as simple as writing a blog and quickly posts on the correct page for the event in question. It is a great way to get exposure for your school, your school newspaper and the writers and other staff. Check it out and let us know what you think about it.
