Email marketing is an important part of marketing my Teachers Pay Teachers store (and serving my virtual assistant clients). Growing email lists require upkeep and nurturing. You want to let your customers and subscribers know when you are having a sale or offering a new product or service. Managing an email marketing campaign is time-consuming and can quickly become expensive.

I use a mix of digital props and 3D props in my classroom but MOST of my classroom decor, reward systems, and props are 2D. When I did my free trial with HP Ink I bumped up to the maximum level plan and printed a full year of seasonal decor and rewards, trial system rewards, and some other classroom essentials. When it was time to pay I moved down to the lowest monthly plan and it takes care of all of the printing needs for my online classroom, my household, and my business. They monitor my ink levels for me and mail me replacements long before I ever notice I will run out of ink soon. HP Ink is a MUST have for online ESL teachers.
