New Jersey
Educational Sales Club, Inc.

EXHIBIT POLICY       
 

The New Jersey Educational Sales Club, a non-profit organization serving educators in New Jersey, has established the following criteria to promote maximum professional service to school personnel.

              The personnel who make, service, and sell the products your school system considers, buys, and uses have a vital interest in maintaining the quality, purpose, and proper use of their products.

             Exhibits can be a very effective means of promoting this interest, provided total costs can be kept to minimum for participating companies. All costs must be reflected in the price of products sold. It is to our mutual interest to see that they are reasonable in all respects.

             To invite the Educational Sales Club to exhibit without providing ample time within the program for teachers and school officials to utilize this collective effort to enhance their own knowledge is to waste the opportunity, increase unnecessarily the cost of the tools of learning, and deny our children the privilege of a richer, fuller, more meaningful educational experience.

             Exhibits are a cooperative effort of all the members of the Educational Sales Club. Therefore, the Educational Sales Club cannot assume the expense of speakers and/or consultants for programs.

             Many school systems place orders and evaluate products during the school year and depend on personal contacts with various representatives for special services so that it is desirable to have the exhibit time, place, and companies represented listed in the program in advance so attending school people may make full utilization of the exhibit.

             Exhibits should be centralized and consolidated as much as possible to provide equal opportunity for all businesses to participate and all school people to use.

              Sponsored exhibits will have designated a competent experienced representative from the Educational Sales Club to assist the chairman in planning, publicizing, and operating the exhibit.

             Sponsored exhibits in collegiate summer schools will be arranged by the Educational Sales Club to provide maximum coverage of all interest areas at times convenient to both its members and college faculties.
