• The
date
range
of
this
study
is
August
1st
through
August
25th.
During
that
7me
there
were
a
total
of
32,822
men)ons
of
one
of
the
retailers
and
the
phrase
“back
to
school”.
• The
majority
of
the
conversa7ons
had
a
posi7ve
sen7ment.
Marketers
can
take
advantage
of
the
excitement
of
Back
to
School
shopping
to
boost
sales
and
profits.
• Moms
of
elementary
school
children
most
oHen
disclosed
the
grade
her
kids
were
going
into.
These
were
found
most
regularly
in
blogs.
• TwiIer
made
up
the
majority
of
content.
Because
of
TwiIer’s
quick
and
easy
nature,
many
users
may
choose
to
make
posts
while
out
and
about
from
their
mobile
devices.
This
is
oHen
the
Real-‐
Time
posts
that
are
happening
NOW.

• Students
created
videos
and
uploaded
to
YouTube
to
show
off
the
purchases
they
made.
You
no
longer
have
to
wait
for
the
first
week
of
school
to
show
off
all
of
your
new
ouTits,
and
you
have
the
poten7al
of
sharing
with
a
much
larger
number
of
people.
Youth
today
play
an
incredible
role
as
online
influencers
for
their
favorite
brands.
• Target
is
winning
the
social
sphere
for
Back
to
School
by
crea7ng
discussion-‐worthy
shopping
experiences
and
content.
Amazon,
while
arguably
an
even
beIer
experience
for
a
7me-‐starved
mom
isn’t
geWng
NEAR
the
passion
and
fervor.
• Back
to
School
excitement
isn’t
about
the
stuff
on
the
school
supply
list
–
that’s
“have
to
have,”
and
doesn’t
ignite
emo7on.
Apparel
is
where
retailers
should
focus
their
growth
efforts,
as
customers
are
more
willing
to
discuss
(and
poten7ally
buy)
these
wares.

• Back
to
school
oHen
has
a
bit
of
nostalgia
associated
with
it.
Adults
(and
some
older
students)
remember
shopping
for
crayons
and
new
spirals
fondly.
Before
embarking
on
a
new
school
year,
students,
parents
and
teachers
hit
the
sales
for
school
supplies
and
new
aWre.
Marketers
have
taken
this
opportunity
to
capitalize
on
consumers
who
will
be
shopping
during
this
7me.
• This
year,
MutualMind
decided
to
do
a
study
to
determine
the
who,
what
and
where
of
back
to
school
shopping.
Using
keyword
based
listening
and
manual
tagging
of
content,
we
were
able
to
understand
who’s
talking
about
back
to
school
shopping,
what
they’re
talking
about
purchasing
and
where
they’re
going.
• To
achieve
our
social
listening
objec7ves,
we
setup
advanced
keywords
that
would
collect
any
men7on
across
all
the
major
social
networking
and
news
sites
that
men7oned
“Back
to
School”
AND
one
of
the
following
retailers:
• Walmart
• Target
• Kohl’s
• JC
Penney
• Kmart
• Amazon
Introduction and Scope
7. Study Overview
All Content ©2014 MutualMind • www.mutualmind.com • #listensmarter 7
Study Design
• For
each
retailer,
we
set
up
a
keyword
with
several
varia7ons
of
their
name
based
on
previous
research
on
how
people
refer
to
the
brand.
For
example,
we
would
include
hashtags,
TwiIer
handles
and
common
spellings-‐
• (walmart
OR
#walmart
OR
@walmart
OR
“wal-‐mart”
OR
“wal
mart”)
• Further,
we
would
make
each
keyword
more
advanced
by
using
an
“and”
Boolean
search
clause.
This
will
ensure
that
the
only
data
collected
included
men7ons
of
“back
to
school”
or
its
common
variants
as
well
as
one
of
the
aforemen7oned
retailers-‐
• (“back
to
school”
OR
backtoschool
OR
#backtoschool)
• While
this
setup
has
the
poten7al
of
missing
some
relevant
posts,
the
design
was
to
aid
in
collec7ng
less
but
highly
relevant
content.
• Once
content
was
collected,
we
studied
each
post
and
tagged
it
with
an
appropriate
tag.
Custom
tags
were
created
to
organize
content
by
the
grade
the
student
was
going
into
(or
teacher
taught),
and
whether
the
author
of
the
post
was
a
mom,
dad,
student
or
teacher.
Posts
were
only
tagged
if
the
content
of
the
post/bio
made
it
possible
to
tag
with
accuracy.

made
up
a
large

of
the

makeup
as
well
(9

Much
of
the

analyzed
came
from

Amazon
than

we

a

Kohl’s
• Moms
and
students
talked
about
shopping
at
Kohl’s
during
‘Back
to
School’
more
than
teachers.
This
is
probably
because
the
students
and
their
mothers
are
more
likely
to
need
to
shop
for
apparel
than
a
teacher
would.
• There

9
