Temu has been the saving grace for parents as school holidays end and kids return back to school
Not only is Temu one of the most frequently used apps on mobile devices, it has also become a saviour for parents preparing to send their kids back to schools.
As summer holidays come to a close, many parents across Aotearoa are feeling the pressure of ‘back-to-school’ preparations, as seen in recent statistics that express the concerns Kiwi parents have with items such as school uniforms costing up to $1000.
In the midst of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, families are looking for affordable and convenient ways to get organised for the year ahead. Temu is stepping up to make life easier for parents, offering significant savings on a wide range of back-to-school essentials like stationery, storage solutions, and school accessories. With speedy delivery times (as quick as one to two business days) from local warehouses, it’s a solution that’s as practical as it is budget-friendly.
One Auckland mum, Sam Faulkner, has shared how Temu has been a game-changer for her and her three children, two of which are school age and one in kindergarten. She has been able to purchase high quality arts and crafts supplies, as well as other essential household items for just a fraction of the price compared to other retailers locally.
Sam described how Temu’s convenience has eased her back-to-school stress, how she has been able to save items in her cart while continuing to shop, which has ensured she gets everything she needs without hassle. Sam has also purchased items such as a waterproof swimming bag, where the quality has compared to more expensive products she’s seen in stores in New Zealand.
Temu is rising in popularity amongst Kiwi consumers, and has recently been ranked as the top iPhone app by downloads in New Zealand for 2024.
