Schools Require Technology for Back-to-School Shopping This Year
(PRWEB) July 19, 2016 -- A recent Back-to-School Shopping study surveyed nearly 1,700 respondents and found that schools influence consumers’ shopping lists more than expected. Though only 41% of respondents intended to purchase electronics, almost half of them were doing so because their child’s school requires the technology. And while the basics remain the same—common school supplies appeared on 94% of our respondent’s shopping list—shoppers do not intend to merely throw a little of this and a little of that in their cart. Three-quarters of respondents indicated that local stores provide them with a list of required school supplies, and 63% of those respondents indicated they would purchase everything listed. School-mandated shopping lists did not govern one category, however—fashion and apparel, where only 17% of respondents indicated they would be shopping for school uniforms.
