Shopular Inc. Releases 2014 Back-to-School Shopping Goes Mobile Study - Published on 08/15/14

Consumers are increasingly relying on their smartphones and trusted mobile apps to find the best bargains for Back-to-School Shopping this season! Shopular, a top free mobile app for iPhone and Android that makes retail deal-hunting fun and easy, asked the experts - nearly 300 tech-savvy, deal-loving shoppers themselves - about Back-to-School Shopping and bargain-hunting. The results are in the company's new infographic on Back to School Shopping trends.

Redwood City, California - The time-honored end-of-summer tradition of Moms and kids of all ages hitting stores to stock up on Back-to-School essentials takes a high-tech turn this year. Consumers are increasingly relying on their smartphone devices to find the best bargains! Shopular, a top free mobile app for iPhone and Android that makes retail deal-hunting fun and easy, asked the experts - nearly 300 tech-savvy, deal-loving shoppers themselves - about Back-to-School Shopping and bargain-hunting.

Following is what consumer participants had to say about the 2014 season trends:

* Dressing for success at school is tops with parents: American parents have made it clear: Finding a deal on Back-to-School clothes is their #1 priority. Bargains on school supplies are a distant second, followed by shoes and electronic devices.

* Parents and kids are shopping earlier: August is clearly the new September and the preferred month for savvy deal-hounds to shop. According to Shopular, less than 4% of shoppers wait until September to load up on school essentials.

* Back-to-School just isn't cheap: Forget about school requests for donations and PTA fundraisers - just getting your child equipped for the first day of school requires some serious change. Nearly half of parents say they spend $100 or more per child on Back-to-School purchases.

* Consumers still flock to the mass superstores for Back-to-School items: The powerhouse retail superstores still pack the best punch as Back-to-School "go to" sources. Target, Walmart, Kohl's, Staples, JC Penney and Macy's topped consumers' favored Back-to-School retailer lists.

* Mobile will play a prominent role in Back-to-School Shopping: More than three-quarters of respondents (76%) in a separate Shopular survey plan to look for retail deals via mobile this year when shopping for Back-To-School items.

With more than 3 million users, the Shopular app has consistently secured a nearly perfect 4.8-5.0 star rating.
