Wiser's New Infographic Provides Retailers with Back-to-School Selling Strategies


(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 29, 2014 Back-to-school, one of the most profitable seasons for retailers, has finally arrived. With this year's total expected expenditure of $75 billion, retailers carrying back-to-school products have an opportunity to increase sales and profit. Retailers still have time to capitalize on these customers because 54% expect to finish their back-to-school shopping less than a month before school starts.



The National Retail Federation predicts that the average family will spend $670 this back-to-school season, with a 19% increase in spending on school supplies. Fashion retailers will also experience significant boosts in sales this year, as 82% of consumers will purchase clothing and 61% will look for new footwear.

Pricing intelligence is essential for retailers to remain competitive during the back-to-school season. Due to the rise of mobile, shoppers are now constantly equipped to make price comparisons. In addition to optimizing pricing strategies, retailers should bundle products that are often bought together, promote loyalty programs, and more. Bundling is an effective selling strategy that eases a buyer's shopping experience and has the power to increase average order values for retailers.


Wiser is a leader in the ecommerce industry that provides pricing and merchandising intelligence for online retailers around the world. CEO and Co-founder of Wiser, Arie Shpanya, explains, "Students will assess their purchasing needs for the upcoming school year, and retailers that are able to provide them with the latest trends and technology will see a significant boost in sales."
