Greetings! Nice to see you returning to Google Answers. Using the
phrase "promotional products procurement" I discovered Ketera, a
division of American Express. They list four suppliers on their
supplier page that deal in corporate catalogs and promotional
poroducts procurement. The four listed there are:
American Identity is the largest privately held distributor and one
of the leading promotional products distributors in the U.S. They

proprietary merchandise.

Contacting any of these four companies may prove lucrative to your
venture as they may wish to review your video and consider it in their
line of offerings. To locate the company URLs above, I searched each
firm name at Google. Plus, a company named Robustelli looked
interesting. Their web site stated:
"Promotional Products are tangible advertising symbols that are
important in the overall marketing mix. The process of creatively
selecting promotional products is more of an art than a science. We
give you exciting and effective ideas for business gifts, trade shows,
public relations, safety and education, brand awareness, event and
outings, new product introductions, direct mail, and not-for-profit
items.
"Procurement - Looking for an in-pack, on-pack or near-pack premium?
Need a great idea for a self-liquidator? We will work with our select
network of overseas agents and factory direct contacts to custom
manufacture the right premium for you. We oversee all the details
including production, quality control, packaging, logistics, customs
clearance, and final delivery."
They may prove helpful as well. I also found a possible lead from My
Supplier whose web page stated "We're connecting buyers and
suppliers." You might quert being listed with them for potential
buyers.
Plus, I thought of a few possible leads for you on getting the video
better known. Searching "teacher organization math" on Google, I
located the following organization:

might want to contact to have the video listed:
