2021 back to school marketing ideas
Back to school sales is a big event in eCommerce, and therefore you need a back to school marketing idea guide. Since 2020 was unlike any we’ve experienced before, we can compare it to 2019, where buyers spent over $80 billion in the United States. One of the biggest challenges is coming up with back to school promotions that’ll boost sales during this unknown period. The shopping landscape that we know has changed dramatically. Many offline retailers have gone out of business, and online commerce is booming.
Start with some research:
1. Localise your campaigns. Due to the pandemic, different countries have different regulations. Please do some research before and see what countries are relevant to target and what content and products will suit them.
3. Plan your marketing strategy. Now that you know whom to target, what resources you want to utilise and how much money you want to spend? Do you plan to make onsite changes with back to school theme? Do you want to focus on social channels only? Email exclusive campaign? Etc.
