This year, due to nationwide school and classroom budget cuts, up to 87% of teachers around the country will be spending money out of pocket on classroom and art supplies (According to a RetailMeNot survey). As classroom budgets continue to tighten, ASW Express (Art Supply Wholesale) is launching a new way to save money on art supplies through it's all new Art Supply Wholesale Club!

ASW Express (Art Supply Wholesale), an online superstore of art supplies and materials at discount prices, will now be offering amazing wholesale prices directly to the customer. Art Supply Wholesale Club is the next step in the company's proud tradition of helping artists, businesses, schools and institutions. For those looking to buy art supplies and materials in bulk, such as schools, art studios and businesses, ASW Express believes that it can greatly benefit those wanting access to wholesale prices on art supplies, by passing on the savings directly to the customer. With a yearly membership fee of only $79.99, members will be able to experience discounts on top brands and a wide range of products from markers and colored pencils to easels and artist-grade paints. Non-members will also be able to shop online but at regular, everyday low prices.

According to the National Retail Federation, as back to school expenses are expected to reach $26.7 billion nationwide and with $45.8 billion on back-to-college spending this year, teachers and parents are struggling to find the answer to the growing burden of shrinking school budgets. By joining the Art Supply Wholesale Club, parents, teachers, and schools will be provided extraordinary savings on a huge assortment or products previously unavailable anywhere at wholesale direct pricing.

Club Membership is perfect for:

  • Teachers and schools trying to maximize their budgets.
  • Classrooms needing art supplies in volume.
  • Art workshops, camps and social painting events.
  • Large studios looking to buy economically.
  • Professional artists that use materials in volume.
  • Back to school and college level shopping.

"We are very excited about our new program and believe it will provide extraordinary savings for schools and teachers, large buyers, art stores, and large studios with a huge assortment of products and supplies previously unavailable anywhere at direct wholesale pricing," says Michael Marchetta, Director of Marketing Operations for ASW Wholesale Club. "More details are posted online now on the existing website which will be changed over around August 1st to be a full wholesale club."

Where is the benefit?

  • Extraordinary savings for large buyers!
  • True wholesale prices on art materials and frames.
  • Big volume with high rewards.
  • Those spending $5000 or more a year will be refunded their yearly membership fee starting after the first anniversary of joining.
