How Does TechnoKids Being a TIP Vendor Help You?
What does TechnoKids becoming an approved TIPS Vendor mean to you?
For many educators, it is a struggle to get educational materials for the classroom. This is often a result of bureaucracy. You know what you need. In fact, you have invested lots of time finding the best curriculum for your students. However, your school or district may have a complex system of adding new vendors, like TechnoKids, into their database so that you can order. Sometimes by the time the paperwork is complete, your unit or semester might be over.
TIPS changes all that! If your organization is a TIPS member, your purchasing agent can order directly through them. This lets you get what you need FASTER! If you want to know more about membership, call TIPS to get started, 866-839-8477.
