Recently, shopping demand for school supplies has increased. Ms. Tran Thi Tuyet (in Ward 4, Tan An city, Long An province) said: “This school year, my son is going to 3rd grade. I think that school supplies produced in Vietnam have many improvements in quality and model compared to previous years.”
Ms. Lam Thi Thuy Duong was buying backpacks and books for her daughter (in 8th grade) and her son (in 5th grade) at a bookstore in Ben Luc town, Ben Luc district. According to her, this year, the school supplies have many products combining smart features to protect students' health such as anti-humpback or ultra-light backpacks, anti-myopia desks, anti-dazzling papers, dustless chalk, pen box made of non-toxic plastic to the environment, and so on. These products have a variety of designs, reasonable price, and convenience, so they are chosen by many students.
Mr. Ngo Kim Hoang - the owner of Nhat Tao bookstore (Highway 62, Ward 6, Tan An city) said: “High-quality Vietnamese school supplies are expected to be selected a lot, so I actively prepared products to serve the needs of parents and students.”
Prices of goods for the new school year do not increase sharply. Vietnamese products are still chosen by many parents because of reasonable prices and guaranteed quality. Vietnamese brands such as Vinh Tien, Phuong Nam, and Thuan Tien notebooks; Hami, Campus backpacks; Ben Nghe, Vinh Tien, Thien Long pencils, ballpoint pens, etc. still dominate the market.
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Le My - Binh An bookstore employee (area B, Hau Nghia town, Duc Hoa district), the number of customers in these days increased by 50 - 60 percent compared to the previous month. Due to careful preparation, the bookstores do not have a shortage of goods for the new school year.
The market for the new school year has started. Many bookstores discount up to 50 percent of their products. Accordingly, Hami student backpacks are discounted by 28 percent; the desk is discounted from VND 120,000 to VND 75,000 - 95,000 for each, and so on./.
