Everyone knows the biggest shopping day of the year is Black Friday. It is said to have the best deals and it marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. Well, this year Teen Vogue is partnering with several retailers to start Back to School Saturday; an official kick-off of the back-to-school shopping season meant to both boost retail sales and give great deals to shoppers.

On August 11th, teen retail favorites like Aéropostale, American Apparel, American Eagle, Express, Gap, H&M and many more will be offering fantastic discounts to in store shoppers. Yes, that’s right, the deep discounts that you love about Black Friday are now going to be part of your back-to-school shopping strategy too!

To ensure the event is youth-friendly, Teen Vogue has made an App that lets shoppers “check-in” at specific stores to receive special discounts. Back to School Saturday even has its own Twitter hashtag, #btss, to promote the event and get teens excited. So don’t forget to come out on August 11th to support retailers, get some of the best deals available while getting your kids ready for the new school year, and have some fun too.

Happy back-to-school shopping!
