It's not easy being an independent retail store these days. In the last 8 years, 80% of the School Supply stores in the US have closed. Golden Apple is one of only 2 stores left in all of Northern California. If we're to stay open for our 3rd generation of customers we need your help - for a start, here are 5 simple things that would be a big help to us:
- Let parents know we have a laminator - teachers know this, but parents don't. We charge about 1/5 as much as Kinkos, and parents love having "masterpieces" laminated.
- We have the best flashcards - the ones that really reinforce memorization and understanding.
- Science Display Boards - the kids need them, we have them, and so many parents find our store just to buy this item. When Science Fair time comes around, let parents know we're here.
- Summer Workbooks. Parents know they need something to help their kids during the summer. Remind them the Golden Apple has exactly what they need.
- Before you assign a specific book, or a reading strip, or a pencil grip - send us an email and we'll make sure we have enough in stock - and make sure your students get the right item!
Thanks for your support - we really do appreciate it!
