Brands Help Teachers and Students Stretch their Budgets with Special Offers as Questions Swirl Around the Opening of Schools

SheerID is proud to partner with twenty-six brands that are offering special deals for the millions of students and teachers who are preparing for the school year, either at home or in the classroom

Portland, OR – July 24, 2020. As we near the start of the school year, many of the country’s students and teachers wonder if the classroom they will be headed back to will be online, in a building, or a mix of both. Regardless of where classes are held, teachers and students will still have purchasing needs. And, with growing concerns regarding the future of the economy, and the continued spread of the coronavirus, this is a particularly important time for brands to show their support for both groups.

A recent survey from SheerID revealed that 77% of students prefer to shop with a brand that offers a student discount. Meanwhile, a new report from Agile Marketing indicated that 73% of teachers are more likely to buy from a company that offers a teacher discount for personal items while 93% of teachers are more likely to buy from a company that offers a teacher discount for school-related items.

“There has never been a more turbulent time in our history as students and educators around the world prepare for the school year,” said Jake Weatherly, CEO of SheerID. “We are proud to partner with more than two dozen brands to recognize our heroes in education, their uncertainty as we approach autumn, and help reduce their financial demands as they gear up for the coming school year.”

“Tableau Academic Programs is a global program that provides licensing and training to tens of thousands of students and instructors every month,” said Sydne Dresser, Tableau Academic Programs Coordinator. “This is only possible thanks to SheerID’s unwavering support and consistent focus on helping us drive our mission to create the next generation of data rockstars.”

“SoundCloud is the first place young and influential music fans go to discover what’s next in music, and connect with the vibrant community of creators, curators and fellow listeners,” said Swetha Dhamodharan, Vice President, Listener Business, SoundCloud. “Now more than ever, music can be an important outlet for many, and that’s why we’re pleased to partner with SheerID to offer student listeners SoundCloud’s premium listening experience at half the price.”

In recognition of the needs of teachers and students, the following brands have provided exclusive offers in the areas of learning, apparel, lifestyle, and news. SheerID’s Identity Marketing Platform ensures that rewards are instantly and securely provided to eligible recipients.
