tempdisplay Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 So I have to think of what stationery my group could sell in school, like a mini-shop in the school so poeple who need them can buy them. Pens are obviously most important as they are the ones mainly use and we loose them easily. So if you have any other ideas (I know it's a bit lame the school selling stuff coz you can but things elsewhere but if you come to think of it, it's pretty convienient) please tell me. Like even a special type of pen or a unique item altogether. Thanks :) So I can get a more rounded result please can you visit this poll: http://www.polldaddy.com/p/1621560/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jikuu Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 To be honest, I didn't have to buy writing utensils for years because I would find the forgotten pens and pencils on the desks from last class and snatch them up quickly. I would suggest paper be on sale as well, or those cow-colored composition notebooks. Always good in case you lose the one you use for biology or something like that.

tsaria_outsider Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 When I was in school we sold all sorts of things. We sold all the things mentioned above, plus some of the following: little pencil sharpeners loose leaf paper cute pencil toppers (those erasers shaped like things that go onto the back of the pencil) pencil/pen cases book covers small candies (we got special permission from the teachers and had to sell these only near lunch periods) We sold a lot more, but I can't think of it right now, sorry.

Unstream Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I definitely think pencils are more important than any other thing, because in my school, people only use pencils for their amazing erasability :P You need good pencils though. Mechanical ones. Wooden ones are no good, because it's a pain to always have to sharpen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lia Seeya Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I go for the notebooks and for the extra loose-leaf paper. You have no idea how many times I find myself sans paper in class and wishing I had some. :laughingsmiley: Something along the lines of the following would be nice as well: - Paper tabs (for marking pages in your textbook) - Highlighters - Candy (for staying awake in class :laughingsmiley:) Just some things that I've found handy running around campus. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Awesome Pants Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Pens/ pencils for sure. And paper is pretty useful. I find that people never have paper. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00fin_hearts_chocolate Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Pens are obviously most important as they are the ones mainly use and we loose them easily.

Mimii Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 GEL PENS! Well when I was in school everyone in the world wanted them anyway.. but that was a while back LOL I still use them, I love them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Well, I would have to say that a combo of Pens, Pencils, Erasers, Rulers and Paper would sell well. You could sell them in mini packs for a few bucks each, such as $10AUD ($7USD, around about.). :) That may be a tad expensive, I have no idea of what Americans pay for that sort of stuff. Good luck on your quest to sell school stuff! ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephé Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 The school reception keeps a storage of stationery to sell. :) I'd have to say exercise books and loose refill (paper), as well as pens and pencils. Its so not lame. ;O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jikuu Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Oh, and don't forget about those new-fangled erasable pens! ^^; I never saw them much, but I thought it was a nifty idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Something nobody seems to have mentioned is lead for mechanical pencils. I always seem to run out and never remember to grab more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tempdisplay Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 WOW!!!! Brilliant ideas that I'm going to put foward and when the time comes I'll tell you which ideas got accepted if not all of them. PS. This is in the UK but the pencil pack thing is a good idea.
