2006-2007 Teacher Buying Behavior Report

 

How and what teachers purchase for classroom use is changing. QED’s newest Market Trends Report – Teacher Buying Behavior, 2006-2007 – takes a look at what types of materials and products educators are purchasing and with what funds. Additionally, the report examines the purchase process – how do educators identify products they want to purchase? What is the decision making process? Who are influencers in the decision making processing? How often do educators purchase online versus from catalogs and teacher supply stores?

Conducted using participants of QED’s new Online Educator Panel, the data contained in Teacher Buying Behavior will help you make informed decisions about your product marketing, placement and potential.
