Save “Back to School” Cash with Zaarly
The average family racks up hundreds of dollars purchasing school supplies, such as backpacks, uniforms and other items required to go back to school. In fact retailers report that the back to school shopping season is one of the busiest events, only second to holiday shopping.
With a recession weighing heavily on many consumers, families have less and less money to spend on back to school shopping. Although parents may wait for items to go on sale, kids need typically supplies by the first week of school, which puts a crunch on mom and dad.
However, parents who shop in the Zaarly marketplace are able to spend considerably less than those who just hit the retailers. Zaarly is an interactive, community based buy and sell site that allows both buyers and sellers to request nearly anything.
For example, if your child needs a specific textbook that costs $100 online or at school, you could zip over to the Zaarly marketplace and make a request. Simply input the specific textbook name and any other details such as publication year and then Zaarly it. You can suggest how much you’d like to pay for the book and the date needed.
Zaarly community members will be able to see your request and respond via the secure Zaarly server. Community members can also post old back to school items on Zaarly for sale.
Additionally, busy parents love Zaarly because they can also make requests for services. If you need to pick up permission forms or bus pass requests during the week, but can’t get away from work, you can make a Zaarly request to have someone in the community handle it for you.
When you make your request, include how much you will pay for the errand and the date you’d like it completed. Thousands of high school, college or stay-at-home moms are looking for ways to make a few bucks, making Zaarly an ultimate online experience.
