Global and US Back to School Shopping January 2013 Published by MarketResearchReports.biz

As tablet computers and similar devices take a more prominent role in delivering education, retailers of traditional school supplies may feel a decrease in the demand for ‘old-school’ supplies such as notebooks and pens. Also, despite the stabilizing economy, marketers must address consumers’ lingering money-saving behaviors such as expecting price promotions and discounts.
