Ahead of the new academic year, we wanted to find out how parents feel about back-to-school shopping. So we commissioned a survey by YouGov, which revealed the emotional and financial burden parents of school-age children face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Majority of Parents Say Back-to-School Shopping is Stressful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our survey revealed that 70% of parents of children aged 18 and below who go to school say the hassle of back-to-school shopping will be a source of stress <\/u>and 75% say the cost of back-to-school supplies are likely to be a stressor this year<\/u>. With most parents worrying about preparing their child for a new school year, there’s a clear need to make this process more simple. <\/p>\n\n\n

When do parents start to shop for their children?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One third of respondents (34%) reported leaving it shortly before the new school term starts, making this the most popular time. In contrast however, 11% start shopping before the final term of the current academic year has ended. This suggests that while most parents want to put off this daunting task for as long as possible, a small percentage want to be prepared ahead of the new term. This could also be because parents are trying to spread the cost or are looking to avoid seasonal mark-ups by leaving it too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did our survey respondents prefer online or in-store shopping?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the answer is both! 43% of parents visit a mixture of online and in-store retailers to complete their back-to-school shopping. Our survey shows that parents prioritise convenience, buying products from the best place for them on a case-by-case basis. People may also be driven by sales and discounts, making them more likely to shop around, which could be time-consuming. Interestingly, 30% bought back-to-school products from the supermarket (perhaps during the weekly shop). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does it cost to prepare your child for a new school term? On average, parents spend \u00a3152 per child annually on back-to-school shopping. Notably, we found this number didn\u2019t seem to drastically change depending on how many children parents are shopping for or their location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned earlier, 75% of parents say back-to-school costs are likely to be a source of stress this year. Contrastingly, just under a quarter of respondents (24%) said they weren\u2019t stressed at all about back-to-school costs, with parents over 55 being the least worried (62%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stress of Back-to-School Shopping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, parents in London don\u2019t seem to worry about the back-to-school shopping experience, with 55% saying they weren\u2019t stressed at all. Perhaps the wide range of retailers available locally to them makes the process easier. Those up north were slightly more likely to be stressed by the back-to-school shopping experience than those in the south (77% vs 74%), again perhaps due to lack of access to a wide enough variety of retailers or transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 70% of survey respondents saying the hassle of back-to-school shopping is a source of stress, and 11% of these saying it\u2019s an extremely stressful process, there\u2019s certainly a need to make it easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
