For independent retailers, it's the ideal time to stock up on the products students and parents are actively shopping for, helping to increase footfall, boost basket spend and capture valuable seasonal sales.

To help you make the most of the opportunity, Stax has launched its University Essentials collection, bringing together hundreds of products that students rely on as they prepare for life away from home.

The range includes everything needed to furnish a student kitchen and home, from kettles, toasters, irons and other small electricals to cookware, crockery, cutlery, microwave accessories and food storage. We've also included cleaning products, bins, laundry essentials, stationery and a host of other everyday household items, making it easy for retailers to create a comprehensive back-to-uni offer.

Whether your customers are buying a few forgotten essentials or equipping an entire student home, our University Essentials collection provides excellent value across a broad range of trusted brands and popular products.

With students beginning to prepare for the new academic year throughout the summer, now is the perfect time to stock up and ensure your shelves are ready for one of the busiest seasonal trading periods.
