We’ve seen a huge leap in the number of Teacher Trolleys heading out of our door this week and it’s got me thinking whether they are all being used for their intended purpose….
Originally launched to help our customers at the Education Show in Birmingham get their purchases and brochures home, the Teacher Trolley grew last year when we sourced a larger one: It had a longer handle which kept the users back straighter and was more comfortable to pull.
But why are they flying out the door now?
I’ve canvassed the office and our top ten suggestions are as follows:
- Gifts from teachers who’ve used them to their teaching colleagues
- For autumn garden clearance
- Used instead of a basket in the supermarket for easier manoeuvrability
- House to car to house solution for holiday travels
- Pet transport for pets too posh to walk
- Storing and transporting recycling
- Becoming the ultimate party guest by arriving with a trolley full of Christmas Party drinks
- Mail distribution whether in offices or by the paperboy
- Transporting kids party supplies to the venue, and the pressies home again!
- Getting your washing to the washing line without straining your back (in November?!)
- Craft fairs – getting your goodies there to set up your stall and sell
- Carrying sports kit and instruments for kids whose bags seem bigger than they are!
And that’s discounting the suggestion of one member of the team (name withheld) of using a Teachers Trolley as a skateboard-come-go-kart…
The fact that they fold-away when not in use and can fit in the car, or on a desk without the handle extended, makes these Trolleys so versatile .
The fact that there is £5 off them until Wednesday 17th November makes them a steal whatever the pupose.
PS/ I know there aren’t actually 101 uses listed here, but I know you will think of lots more and am confident we can come up with 101 between us…I’ll be looking out for your ideas on the comments below.
