Staples gears up for back-to-school season

Staples is getting a head start on back-to-school season, launching a price match program starting June 29.



Staples announced Tuesday that it would match a competitor’s price — including prices on Amazon and any retailer with both online and brick-and-mortar stores — on any items sold in Staples stores or on Staples.com. Customers will then receive 10% off the difference.



“Customers can be confident that with the back-to-school 110% Price Match Guarantee our prices won’t be beat all season long,” Staples SVP, North American stores and online marketing Alison Corcoran said.



In addition to the price matching promotion, Staples is also offering school supply mainstays like folders and index cards at low prices, while offering weekly sales and continuing its Staples Rewards programs.
