Back-to-School 2021: A Look Inside Stores

Is that the bell ringing? Already?

Just this weekend, shoppers across the country flocked to stores in pursuit of back-

to-school (BTS) supplies, clothes, equipment, and—of course—savings.

In fact, for several states, it was one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year, when hordes of shoppers turned out for their state’s annual BTS tax holiday.

What exactly was it like in stores this weekend? Busy? Picked over? Festooned with BTS signage and displays?

Auditing BTS Aisles & Displays

This weekend we used the Field Agent retail-solutions platform to audit the BTS sections of Dollarama, Staples, Costco, No Frills, Real Canadian Superstore, Sobeys, and Walmart.

We asked our agents to take photos of any Back to School displays that they saw.

What did we find? See for yourself... Before you get a tardy slip!
