Background: my high school issues ipads to all students, students are expected to have it charged and ready to bring to school. But surprise surprise high school kids do not plan ahead and constantly do not have their ipads ready for class which causes a huge headache for teachers and the grades of the students suffer as a result.
So i came up with the idea to start selling portable chargers to students. This is where i need advice
Should I go directly to the school administration and try to pitch a portable charger to the school and then they can pass the cost of the charger onto the student through the tuition bill?
Or should i sell directly to my fellow students out of my locker?
And how do i make sure i dont get scammed on Alibaba, I know that all of the manufacturers are from main
land china which raises the question of quality. Im not asking for the chargers to be super high quality because I know i wont get it. All im looking for is a product that WORKS and lasts the student till the rest of the school year (July).
Suggestions?
all advice greatly appreciated
