## SCCPSS SCHOOL SUPPLY LIST INFRASTRUCTURE
Every SCCPSS school has its own supply list page at {school}.sccpss.com. The district also aggregates them at:
- sccpss.com/families/back-to-school/supplies (2026-27 lists)
This is the integration surface — each school's PDF list links directly to the product.
## COMPETITION: TeacherLists.com
- **1M+ school supply lists** on their platform
- Partners: Amazon, Target, Walmart, Staples, Walgreens
- Free for schools and teachers
- Digitize supply lists and make them "shoppable" — but each item is individually shoppable, NOT one-click cart
- **CartMyList differentiator:** One Amazon cart link from a PDF upload. CartMyList competes on convenience, not list management.
## GTM STRATEGY FOR PTA OUTREACH
### Play 1: Council-Level Pitch
Go through Savannah-Chatham Council of PTAs (Sandra Cason). Position as a zero-effort fundraiser. Council endorses → cascades to all 24+ local PTAs.
### Play 2: School-by-School Direct
Use each school's supply list page as proof of concept. "I saw your supply list for 2026-27. Here's what it looks like as a one-click Amazon cart. Want this for your parents? Free for you, $1/cart to your PTA."
### Play 3: Parent Ambassador
Your kids are at STEM Academy (PTSA member) and Garrison (PTA member). Start there — dogfood it with your own school supply lists.
### Play 4: Back-to-School Timing
School started TODAY (Aug 3). The window is NOW — parents are actively buying supplies. Even a late entry with a "last-minute shopping" angle works.
