Digital Back-to-School Shopping Platforms

Amazon Offers an Wide and Inclusive Variety of Supplies

Amazon is the leading example of digital shopping platforms as it consistently updates its offerings, provides an extremely user-friendly interface and is wildly convenient — especially when one opts-in for two-day shipping.

For the back-to-school season, the company develops its catalog to perfection. The website boasts a wide selection of products, including backpacks, clothing, tech and STEM toys. In addition, it also presents them in a well-arranged and easy-to-navigate layout.

Often shopping platforms create general categories for their products. Amazon, however, undertakes an organization-forward approach and targets more niche audiences. On its website, the company divides school supplies into grade-specific collections, dedicates a section for everyday essentials and boasts specially curated collections with parent, teacher and teen picks. This neat way of presenting products will definitely give Amazon a significant boost in consumer love with respect to other shopping platforms.
