TeachersDisCount Brings Big Savings to Teachers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 18, 2008--TeachersCount is pleased to announce the launch of the new TeachersDisCount, a retail savings program of unprecedented scope for teachers. Teachers from the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA) are eligible to join the program.

TeachersDisCount was created to thank and reward teachers for the important work they do. All too often, teacher salaries do not reflect the tremendous value of their work. TeachersDisCount gives value back to teachers and helps their hard-earned dollars go farther. For the first time, teachers can enjoy perks on par with those of Fortune 500 employees. Modeled on corporate employee reward programs, TeachersDisCount is presented by TeachersCount, the AFT, and the NEA. Teachers who sign up for a free membership can receive 10-60% discounts on nearly everything, including travel, apparel, electronics, flowers, gifts, and much more.

TeachersDisCount fits perfectly with the mission of TeachersCount, a national non-profit organization that works to raise the status of the teaching profession and provide resources to the education community. Their best-known program is the “Behind Every Famous Person Is a Fabulous Teacher” national ad campaign, which features celebrities alongside their favorite teachers. Images from this campaign appear in the Time Inc. family of magazines and on posters in classrooms across the country.
