High-quality and sustainable products: Lower Austrian paper trade is the competent partner when it comes to starting school
nope On Monday, September 5th, the new school year begins for the 190,000 pupils in Lower Austria. The preparations for this are in full swing in the approximately 100 Lower Austrian paper shops. Sustainable products and expert advice are particularly in demand.
Extensive range and high-quality products that you can also try out. A great price/performance ratio and competent advice. The arguments in favor of shopping in specialist shops are powerful.
“People who buy regionally not only opt for high quality and top service, but also support the local economy, secure jobs, protect the environment and keep purchasing power in the region”,
emphasizes Andreas Auer, chairman of the Lower Austrian stationery trade and explains: “Many students and parents have already received lists of school supplies that are needed for the new school year. The Lower Austrian paper trade is a reliable and competent partner here.”
School bags, snack boxes, and and and …
High-quality school bags, matching snack boxes, drinking bottles and other accessories are in particularly high demand once more this year. There is a clear trend towards sustainably manufactured products.
“The proportion of environmentally friendly manufactured or reusable products in our overall range has increased once more this year – as has the demand for them. If parents set a good example here and increasingly ask for sustainable products, they also strengthen their children’s environmental awareness, which of course also applies to school purchases,”
Auer knows. With the “Clever shopping for school” campaign, the local paper trade is supporting the trend towards sustainability. The labeled products meet strict ecological criteria and actively contribute to environmental protection. “The start of school offers a good opportunity to pay attention to the quality of the articles and thus benefit from a long-term benefit and a safe advantage for the environment and climate. The bottom line is that this also reduces the costs for the school,” emphasizes Chairman Auer.
The right equipment contributes to learning success
“Only the paper trade offers the entire range of paper and stationery all year round and is available for school purchases,” he appeals to the Lower Austrians to see for themselves on site. “The right equipment contributes to learning success and also ensures that school is fun,” says Auer.
Vouchers with a total value of 20,000 euros
In order to encourage even more shopping in the regional stationery and toy trade, the state committee is giving away 400 vouchers each worth 50 euros once more this year. Participation is possible with a winning ticket from the participating specialist dealers. The vouchers can be redeemed in the participating shops until December 31, 2022. In addition, the specialist dealers have prepared foldable origami swans with online handicraft instructions for their customers as an additional gift.
