BACK TO SCHOOL


I was sorting through old pictures trying to remember dates photos were taken - there were several "first day of school" pictures of our children - sometimes it was what they were wearing that helped narrow it down. But I remember how excited our kids were on that first day back to school - choosing what to wear, coordinating with friends for the walk to school, organizing their new supplies and packing up their back-packs the night before. Even though our children our grown, we, at Graphic, still experience the back to school preparation and anticipation, if in a different way.

The beginning of every new school term brings with it deadlines, red tape, and sometimes a little anxiety - not to mention the "art emergencies " that arise. We're asking for help in improving our service during this next school rush period. It is more important than ever for manufacturers to keep inventory tight. Economics just don't allow for excess inventory and cash being tied up in non-profitable stock. The flip side is that we want to keep you stocked with the right products in time for classes. The difficulty comes in trying to project - Classes are not always firm early on but we want to be able to start on your "wish list" for fall. For instance, if you know that your are teaching etching, please tell us what quantities you estimate and what products you think you'll order. You don't have to send in a firm order (but, that would be great!) . Any instructors that turn in a supply list by July 31st will earn their students a 5% discount on their student's orders when they order in the fall. Students can save money on shipping by pooling their orders. We appreciate your business and want to support you and printmaking in any way we can. List any products you anticipate - tools, plates, paper, inks or non-standard items would be very helpful. Please specify brand and sizes where appropriate. Please keep in mind that certain products - imagon for example - may not ship during hot weather.

Individual artists have deadlines as well and we don't want you to get lost in the shuffle. The more information we have from you, the better we can serve you. If you know you have a deadline, please keep us informed. We're working on our end to communicate better with our supplies and our customers. Together, we can make the back to school rush run more smoothly.
