Private Brands Deliver Back-to-School Value.

Survey Says: Moms Looking for Deals and Value for Back-to-School Shopping

Today, July 20, OfficeMax released a national survey of Moms that demonstrated a heightened awareness of cost and a demand for value-based products that provide both cost savings and quality. The 2009 Back-to-School Shopping Survey of more than 1,000 moms around the country was fielded to understand their needs and desires for back-to-school shopping. A resounding consensus among moms is the need for value with school supplies – 70 percent of moms surveyed say they are worried about the cost of all the supplies on their child’s school list.

In recent years, OfficeMax has introduced several Private Brand product categories that help address the need for value. The OfficeMax’s Private Brand focused on back-to-school is Schoolio Von Hoolio, this year it includes two new exclusive design patterns – Cupcake and Darling.
