Crushing Back-to-School Sales Season: How unified promotional strategies unlock big, back-to-school opportunity

Americans spent $135.5 billion on back-to-school and back-to-college shopping in 2023, making the season a prime opportunity for retailers to boost revenue and attract new loyalists. However, standing out in this competitive market requires more than just good intentions—today’s parents demand both value and convenience.

With 72% of shoppers researching online before purchasing in-store, it’s crucial to think holistically about your marketing strategy to create a seamless experience between online and in-store channels. 

Many retailers struggle with managing pricing and promotions separately, leading to inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and missed opportunities. A unified approach can help you streamline these processes.
