The data illustrates the results of an online survey conducted by Deloitte from June 22 to 27, 2016. U.S. parents who had at least one child attending school in grades K-12 this fall and who intended to purchase back-to-school items this year were asked if they plan to buy in-store or online or both in-store and online. About 64% of respondents indicated that they plan to buy back-to-school clothes or shoes in brick-and-mortar stores.
