Teachers spend a considerable amount on school supplies. From purchasing paper and paint to classroom decorations, back-to-school shopping costs quickly add up. That is why some retailers provide special teacher discounts in order to offset some of these expenses.
Look fantastic was one of the pioneering online beauty retailers to bring skin-care trends directly to consumers, and their teacher discount offers teachers an easy way to save on products. Simply verify your status as a teacher on their website using a trusted third-party verification process; once verified they may request additional documentation or ID.
This discount applies only to your initial purchase online or in store and cannot be combined with any other offers such as free gifts or promotions. Furthermore, it cannot be applied towards gift cards or subscriptions.
Teachers have various ways of saving on purchases, too. Michaels and Jo-Ann offer teachers 15% discounts daily at arts and craft stores; members of the National Education Association also can take advantage of Dick Blick’s special program which grants them 10% off full price art supplies as well as special sales promotions at their outlets.
Best Buy may not offer an official teacher discount, but they do price match local retailers’ prices – including Apple with special educator pricing for Macs and iPads, and B&N’s Educators Advantage program which gives teachers 20% off publisher list price when purchasing books for classroom use.
