Make your clients “head of the class”
Focus in three areas for back-to-school success.
1. Use a strong call to action in Quu text.
Budget conscious parents, especially with younger or middle school-aged children, are more likely to spend more than parents with older kids. Many parents are focused on price, so messaging should highlight value.
2. Highlight brick and mortar locations.
Across the board, a lot of back-to-school shopping is likely going to happen in person this year. Quu messaging is an excellent way to reinforce geographic location.
3. Know online shopping is here to stay.
Even though consumers are buying in-person, many will still to shop online. Add your client’s website on the dashboard and reiterate their brand in the dash. Frequency, Frequency, Frequency = SUCCESS!
