Hello
I am a publisher of educational card games here in the UK. I have a small company that I am very proud of. We have a new game being developed with one of the fantastic illustrators I met here on this forum.
I am now researching far wider markets than initially intended. Would anyone be able to help me understand the education market or if there is an organisation that I can contact to sell to schools directly. It's a model that we use here in the UK and I am looking to adapt it for the US market.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help.
My website is www.loopgames.co.uk feel free to provide me with some feedback about it too.
Thanks

Well, in the UK we send mail shots to the Heads of Science with flyers and order forms. They then decide if they want to place the order through the school or not.
Each department has a budget to spend and we approach the schools telling them about our products trying to cater for the lesson needs.
I was wondering if this is something other companies do in the US. Although we aim at the high school market 11 - 16 years, I assume the marketing is the same for all schools.
We have a new game coming out for ages 8 onwards and are looking to the overseas market as well.
