Edexus Presentation
- 1. Connecting Education Suppliers Worldwide
- 2. Mission Statement To better connect and service the educational supply business on a global basis providing a central communication node for this highly diverse and fragmented industry sector and ultimately to improve distribution and use of appropriate teaching materials on a global basis. Through the Edexus Foundation to help bring access to improved health and education facilities to disadvantaged children by supporting charities effectively delivering aid to those in need.
- 3. Key Service Objectives "Connectivity" is key to all of our futures and Edexus will provide this to the education trade, which currently is under-serviced by print media and trade exhibitions - with nearly everything aimed at end- users (teachers and educational facilities). For Producers / Suppliers – an instant way to find new customers and new markets for your products without the need for expensive and time consuming market visits. For Producers / Suppliers - no need to wait for the next appropriate trade fair to launch new products. For Producers / Suppliers - you can accurately and economically target customers in the education sector with your entire range or with specific items suitable for marketing to schools.
- 4. Key Service Objectives Continued For Distributors / Buyers - a place to find new and alternative suppliers on a daily basis when the need arises. For Distributors / Buyers - you can immediately make contact with suppliers of products targeted at your market without the need to sort through masses of irrelevant data on generic sourcing websites or from exhibitions mainly targeted at other industries or markets. For Service Providers - a great place to find clients in this massive worldwide but ill-defined market sector and where you can promote services from banking to product testing to exhibitions directly to a clearly defined interest group.
- 5. How Edexus works Essentially EDEXUS acts as a "permanent trade fair" and an "introduction service" for producers and distributors and education materials and for other individuals and organisations who support the industry - sales agents, trading companies, testing organisations, freight forwarders catalogue printers etc. Producers / Suppliers – 70 categories Can make contact with companies – categorised into over 20 types - who distribute their type of products in particular countries. Distributors / Buyers – 29 categories Can find suppliers of over 60 specified categories of products for which they are searching. NOTE - many companies will be both Producers and Distributors in which case they should sign up in both categories Service Providers – 30 categories Can offer their services to either Producer / Suppliers and / or Distributor / Buyers.
- 6. The Foundation Edexus want to give back to the world, so 25% of all revenue from paid services will be donated, through The Edexus Foundation, to selected charities which can effectively deliver health and education aid to disadvantaged children – currently working with charities in Thailand, Nepal and Ethiopia which are detailed on the Edexus website.
- 7. Recent updates After lots of discussions with companies who joined Edexus in our first months of activity we made changes to better meet market needs and improve the service we are offering and during the last four months we have completed major upgrades to the Edexus website to improve its effectiveness and value to our members. Key aspects of the upgrade were: 1. Improved design / layout for better clarity and functionality. 2. A new powerful “Advanced Search” facility 3. Now with FREE website links for members 4. Simplified pricing for paid services
