Most schools still follow the traditonal 9-month academic schedule. This means you should mail teachers with some regard to the flucuations in their workload and the usual winter and spring holiday periods. School District fiscal years most often run from July to June, so decisions re expenditures cluster in the fall and winter months, while actual funding approvals and appropriations occur with increasing intensity throughout the winter and spring months. The summer months can be an especially good time to reach District personnel since the demands and routines of their jobs also change during this period. 6. I need database-enabled selections which allow me to focus on the most promising segments of the school market. How can I narrow my list profile and demographics for the most cost-effective mailings? Choosing any list selection except a Nationwide Complete Universe requires you to specify the Geographic Locale (aka Population Density) and/or Institution Size and/or Community Wealth Strata to emphasize in your mailing list. Upon entry to the CCNow payment system, three drop-down menus will offer alternatives as follows: 7. OK, so how do I choose from the Locale, Size, and Wealth criteria? Districts and schools with the most discretionary budget funds would usually be found by selecting L = Most Suburban ; S = Midrange ; W = Most Prosperous. If you would like to emphasize only one criteria, such as Locale in our example, choose L = Most Suburban ; S = Any Size ; W = Any Strata. Of course, you may also emphasize two selection criteria by choosing the "Any" option in just one of the drop-down menus. 8. Can I choose any Job Title I like to appear on my mailing label? Yes.
