Target Back-to-School Audiences from Kindergarten to College

Gearing up for back to school? It's a phrase no one wants to hear in July ( or August)  but the reality is that in some regions students are already preparing to head back to school even during the dog days of summer. Much like the holiday creep we've become accustomed to, back-to-school season is no different.

According to the 2024 Deloitte Back-to-School Survey, spending for K-12 students is estimated to reach a collective $31.3 billion, or approximately $586 per student. This indicates that back-to-school shopping is no longer just about stocking up on pens and notebooks, but so much more from supplies, this category expands to fashion, technology, dorm room essentials and everything in between.
