Convenient Back-to-School Shopping
No
matter how customers want to do their back-to-school shopping, Staples
offers convenient ways to shop in more than 1,300 stores, online at
Staples.com or through their mobile app. Staples has expanded the
back-to-school selection on www.staples.com/backtoschool
by hundreds of retail-only items to make back-to-school shopping easier
than ever to buy online and pick-up in store.
New this year on the Staples back-to-school center are the Backpack and Writing Solutions Finders. Both tools are designed to help customers narrow down the selection of writing tools and backpacks to find the perfect fit. Customers are able to sort by brand, color, type and size to see a customized view of products specific to their needs.
Adding even more convenience to the shopping experience, Staples teamed up with TeacherLists.com to offer individual classroom teacher supply lists on www.staples.com/teacherlists. Starting late July, Staples customers will have instant access to hundreds of thousands of back-to-school teacher supply lists even before the schools have had the chance to distribute. New lists are added every day.
