I came across NRF’s infographic on the Top 2014 Back-to-School and College Trends.
Let’s break this down and look at how the new “connected consumer” era of retail is impacting shopping trends through digital and technology channels. Here are 5 top digital trends from the survey:

1. 44% will purchase items online, up from 37% last year
2. More back-to-college shoppers own a smartphone (76%) and/or a tablet (45%) than ever seen in the history of the NRF survey.
