Marketing Solutions for Educational Products or Services
If
you manufacture an educational product or provide an educational
service then Harris Educational can help you market that product or
service. We manufacture a best selling series of science kits
that cross school, home, and hobby markets. As a result we have
an intimate knowledge of those markets and a lot of useful connections.
We can help you place your products into the right catalogs and
help you with exposure through our web of social media. We can
partner with you to brand your products under the Harris Educational
name or we can simply provide contract services to help you launch your
product the right way.
In
the past we have helped educational suppliers with website design,
educational instructional design, product representation, marketing
assistance, and other services to help them sell their products to
educators and hobbyists. We can help you with your ideas too!

| Short Run Educational Product Manufacturing |
If
you have an idea for an educational product or kit then Harris
Educational can help you manufacture that kit. As you can see
from the information on this page we can assist with all aspects of the
design, instructional design, and marketing of your idea. We can
also physically manufacture your product.
We
understand that for the educational market products require short
production runs 1000's, 100's sometimes even 10's of units at a time.
At these quantities many manufacturing companies simply can not
aford to produce your ideas for a price that keeps the end users prices
reasonable. Using our experience and the same tools, equipment,
and techniques that we use to manufacture our own best selling
Reinventing Science kits we can help you make your products with
quality and affordability in mind.
As
with all of our services we can work with you on a simple contract
basis OR we can partner with you to license your ideas and designs and
produce your products under the Harris Educational or even the
Reinventing Science brands.
Soon
we will be expanding our capabilities with the purchase of a CNC router
that will allow us to create custom and complex pieces in small or
large quantities. Let us know your ideas. |
