"You guys are AWESOME!  It was very easy to submit a poster and e-mail communication was very fast in turn around.  Cindy even gave personal notes as we talked back and forth because of the crazy hurricane weather.  I can’t wait to earn the extra dollars every year and will submit more posters as the year progresses.

They have a new teacher-designed product line for parents. The company also donates a percentage of every sale to various charities.

www.cashforcreations.com, is a web site where, free of charge, teachers can submit their original ideas of self-made signs, posters or other visual aids that they use or want to use in their classrooms, and expert graphic artists will turn their signs into professional visual aids. The materials go up for sale on the Cash for Creations, Inc., web site and teachers earn 10% from every sale generated by their ideas. The company also donates a percentage of every sale to various charities.

        Many teachers spend hours of their own time developing and creating visual aids for their classrooms.  This leads to less time spent on valuable planning. Cash for Creations, Inc., offers items that help teachers save time and are easy for students to understand.  Many are interactive tools that teachers can use and re-use in the classroom, like Dry Erase Word Wall Tiles or Dry Erase Blank Banners.  "As a teacher, I used to spend endless hours working on visual aids for my classroom knowing that the eyes are the most powerful conductors of information to the brain. Research shows that most people are visual learners.  My husband opened a sign company, which I began using to turn my visual aids into professional, creative and fun tools to help teach my own students. Other teachers started asking me to have his designers make signs for them, also, so I developed Cash for Creations, Inc., to help teachers everywhere.  Our mission is to offer our services to help educators all over the world to utilize their experience and knowledge in creating materials that encourage student participation while rewarding those educators for their ingenuity with added income.” said Cindy Martin, Founder/CEO.
