About Back-to-School Saturday
The back-to-school shopping season is the second highest retail money maker, behind only the Christmas holiday season, and netted $68 billion in sales last year. Teen Vogue’s Back-to-School
Saturday event on August 11 invites consumers to take advantage of exclusive discounts, giveaways, and more at dozens of retailers nationwide.
Teen Vogue has two dozen advertisers taking part, all of them reliant on the back-to-school season for revenue. Among the participants are Aéropostale, American Eagle Outfitters, Express, Guess, H&M,
Maybelline New York, Pacific Sunwear of California, Quiksilver, Staples and Vans. Four brands sold by Procter & Gamble, the nation’s largest advertiser, will be involved: Cover Girl, Olay, Pantene and
Tampax.
