Dear Colleagues:
It took thousands of hours over three years to create this
breakthrough program for our schools. It only takes 5 minutes to read.
MySchoolDirectory™.org Is More Than A School Directory
It's your own profitable "School Yellow Pages™"
It's the secret to attracting businesses to your school
like a magnet, year after year & getting a valuable
school resource tool, FOR FREE!.
Yes…At Zero Cost To Your School…Guaranteed
Finally, somebody figured it out!
That somebody was me! After two years effort creating the ultimate "School Yellow Pages™" for my daughter's school, I know what two questions you'll ask.
|




 |
The #1 Question Asked By School Officials and Volunteers:
"Does It Require A Lot Of Work?"
No. We have now created a very special step-by-step program to show your school exactly how to:
 | Publish your own "School Yellow Pages™" and turn it into a revenue stream, year after year. (By using techniques of the big yellow page publishers, but with a key difference. The secret is incredibly simple.)
|
 | Attract the business communityto your school by finally giving them value.
|
 | Do it with a proven program that doesn't rely on the same one or two people to do all the work…
|
… but instead involves your local neighboring community in such a positive, fun and grassroots way while binding our school, family and business communities together as one…
…while leaving a lasting Legacy to your school.
The #2 Question Asked By School Officials and Volunteers:
"How do we get the support of the business community?"
By avoiding the single biggest mistake schools make when asking businesses for money. Don't ask them for charity, give them a value proposition.
I discovered this simple solution, and now your school can benefit.
What if…
 | The solution attracted the business community to your school and turned them into passionate repeat supporters who come back year after year? |
 | There was a zero cost way to let the business community know about your other fundraising programs? |
 | The whole process was easy, fun and encouraged support from all school families? |
 | Tools existed that did most of the work for you? |
And if these were facts…would it be worth:
 | Taking our Directory Tour? |
 | Click Our Story to learn how the idea was born and it's many special benefits. |
When you see what we have developed, the answer is YES. Every statement above is indeed a fact and is possible only with this pioneering program.
 |
Our school directory has been a great resource for parents, faculty and community business owners. The directory represents an easy fundraising source, a primary source of information for busy families, and a great way to build community spirit with area businesses. It allows me, as principal to provide an important communication vehicle between home and school with a minimum amount of involvement. It represents a "win-win" for all involved!

Here's What Makes This Program So Special

|

School families endorse the businesses they already do business with and know, like and trust. You create your own word-of-mouth resource directory. You're no longer asking strangers for charity, instead, you're connecting preferred businesses to your school families.
|
| #3 | It's new financial support to your school For the first time, your local upstanding businesses have a meaningful reason to support your school.
|
| #4 | The Revenue is RECURRING Once set up, your effort is minimal but the revenue keeps coming & growing every year.

Here's what some businesses are saying
"That's a GREAT directory you have put together! I would like to advertise next year too. Same space."
Jennifer Buchanan-Loan Consultant- JP Morgan Chase Financial
Fairfield, CT
"The directory looks really nice. Well Done!"
Pongo The Clown
Norwalk, CT
"I would like to take this time to acknowledge the excellent work that you have done for my company. Over the last 3 years you with your advertising system have taken control over our yellow page program, resulting in a better response at a lower cost. I also advertised in your new school directory and you again exceeded my every expectation. I can't think of a more cost effective tool to reach local buyers than this small, yearlong reference book. Thank you for your efforts and keep me abreast of any new schools that sign up, as I will like to expand our participation into the new directories."

Praise from Families
"I just wanted to compliment you on the directory. I think it is outrageously good. I am going to carry it with me all the time. It just has features that I didn't anticipate and I think it's wonderful."
Michele Torres-Bridgeport,CT
"Very Well Done. Information is very helpful."
Jeanna Ahmad-Bridgeport, CT
"Great directory. Next year you should let more families have an opportunity to advertise in the directory. My husband was not aware of the real estate section and would like to put his name in next year."
Michelle Formato-Bridgeport, CT
"It's a great resource of information. The size is handy and easy to take along. Can't wait to see who'll
be on the front cover next edition."
Corrine Ganim-Bridgeport, CT
" I was surprised! I like it very much. I brought it to work so I can see when my son will have ½ days and no school. I can also write down when he has other classes like music on Fridays or Holiday parties. Very Useful."
Amanda Rietano-Bridgeport, CT

"Our new school directory doesn't leave my kitchen counter. It has, by far,
become the most used resource in our house. As Home School President, I
feel this directory is invaluable not only for the family information but
vender listings as well. It has become my new yellow pages. What a great
way to raise money for your school while also providing families with such
an important reference tool."
Kathleen Seperack- Home School Association President

For a detailed explanation of the cost of directory kits and the one time set-up fee, please go to What You Need To Know above and click How The Program works and the FAQ page. Everything is explained there.
Setting a fixed annual member fee allows your school to keep 100% of all revenues our program generates for you. But to maintain this low fee, the low cost of directory kits, to continually provide you with the best tools, technology and supported with unparalleled service, we must work in volume, keeping our marketing expenses down as well.
You can help us keep our member expenses down and help your school raise money quicker by contacting other elementary schools in your area and spreading the word. Please use the convenient Tell-A-Colleague and Tell-A-School links above.
Remember, this is all about a member community. One community helps another until we become one larger community that benefits the whole.

Important Deadlines To Remember
* At least 3 weeks before school closes for summer vacation:
For schools that have weekly mail paks going home with their students, you ideally want at least three weeks with school in session before school closes for summer vacation, to implement Parent Preferred program.
Why? Because it's the perfect time to announce your school will have a new directory when you come back to school. Also, the weekly mail paks are free and it keeps families updated, motivated and focused on the goal and results.
2008-2009 MySchoolDirectory™ School Edition
* Membership Deadline: Absolute last sign up date: September 15, 2007
Directory Kits Distribution: August-November
Note:
Typically, the big yellow page publishers need 4-5 months to sell all their ads for each directory, then another 2-3 months to print and distribute the directories to homes. Then they go on to the next directory and this happens again and again all year with a lot of different publish dates.
However, with school directories, there is only ONE publish date, the beginning of the new school year.
For that reason, we have our own deadline so we can guarantee delivery to your school in time for back-to-school.
* Our "FIFO" Delivery Guarantee: This simply means First In First Out. Schools receive their printed directory kits in the order their paid memberships are received. (As long as we receive all school data by our required date)
The sooner you register, the sooner you will receive a confirmation number, confirming one of 300 production spots.
My advice to you is this. If your school is serious about publishing its own school directory, talk to your volunteers and reserve your production space as soon as possible…preferably by June 15, 2008.
Remember, here are just some of the things that will happen when you become a charter member of MySchoolDirectory™.org:
 | 6 Directory resources in 1 (Business / Faculty / Parent / Student / Alumni / Babysitter) |
 | Create a new school asset |  | New business support NOW! |
 | A big thank you from families |  | school email/marketing tool |
 | More support from families |  | Automated order system |
 | Attention grabbing website |  | Less effort, more revenue next year |
 | And the powerful leverage of the MySchoolDirectory™ community and so much more… |
We have invested thousands of hours to develop this program, the tools and strategies so your school can do it in a fraction of the time. Guaranteed!
We are excited to teach you what we know so your school becomes a valuable member of a real special community that is about to be born.
