Back-to-school shopping in the US may look a little different this year due to the pandemic—but only slightly.
Distance learning will likely play a substantial role in the back-to-school season. And many consumers are already eyeing certain products as a result. According to a July 2020 survey from the National Retail Federation (NRF), more than a third of US internet users said they plan to buy a laptop for elearning. Respondents also cited furniture, such as desks and chairs (17%) and printers (17%), as planned purchases.
