West and Education Funding Partners to Drive Revenue for School Districts with Innovative EFP adNet Tool
SCOTTS VALLEY, CA (PRWEB) September 06, 2017 -- West and Education Funding Partners (EFP) today announced a partnership that will give West’s SchoolMessenger Presence website customers a turnkey funding solution through EFP adNet. The tool programmatically serves digital advertising which is seamlessly displayed on school district and school websites. Since 2010, EFP has developed and managed marketing partnerships between the K-12 public school community and top U.S. corporations that generate sustainable new revenue for districts.
This fall, EFP adNet will integrate with the SchoolMessenger Presence website platform and give its customers the optional ability to “turn-on” adNet and begin running ads from a proprietary, carefully vetted list of education-friendly brands. Districts and schools determine the placement of the brands’ digital ads on their website pages to drive revenue – just in time for back-to-school. EFP adNet is simple to set up and requires little time to manage. The adNet tool is available for SchoolMessenger Presence website templates and custom websites and utilizes the SchoolMessenger Passport single sign-on product.
“West’s SchoolMessenger solutions takes its mission of being the trusted platform for parent and community engagement seriously and we are proud to be part of another transformational solution for districts like EFP adNet,” said Robert Iskander, executive vice president and general manager of West’s Education group. "In addition, our partnership with EFP provides our SchoolMessenger solutions customers the ability to activate new funding solutions to support school and student programs, starting with SchoolMessenger Presence and later extending to our other products.”
“Our country’s schools need new ways to generate revenue to fund priorities for their students that otherwise won’t happen. With EFP adNet, we provide districts a no-cost, safe and sustainable solution which is gaining great momentum,” said EFP CEO Tom Weeks. “Our partnership with West enables us to offer our turnkey adNet solution to school districts across multiple platforms that they can control.”
EFP has relationships with education-appropriate brands like Walmart, CVS, Target and Amazon Rapids, which want to connect with parents and teachers through trusted school district website environments. Revenue generated through EFP adNet is used to help fill in funding gaps.
