descarga (4)Target is releasing half a dozen new spots starring social media influencers for back-to-school, its second biggest selling season.The effort includes a new tool called “School List Assist” and deals to make shopping easier for parents. The effort aims to establish Target as a one-stop shopping destination during the high-traffic period.”School List Assist” is a new tool on Target.com that provides a curated list of school supplies, which parents can order from online for home delivery or in-store pickup. The retailer worked closely with schools across the country to find the common items that parents will be looking for this back-to-school season.Target tested “School List Assist” last year in select markets and is currently running the tool in beta.The retailer tapped social media stars like dancer Maddie Ziegler — best known for Lifetime’s “Dance Moms” series and Sia’s “Chandelier” and “Elastic Heart” music videos — and EvanTubehd, who has a YouTube series about toys and gaming.Ms. Ziegler will star in a denim spot — airing in August — in which she performs alongside other young dancers to show off Target’s stretchiest denim.The effort makes Target the latest retailer to turn to young, online influencers for its back-to-school push. The six new Target ads begin rolling out on July 19 and each will focus on a different trend and promotion, such as buy-one-get-one offers on licensed products like Star Wars, MInions and Avengers merchandise, and 40% off jeans.The ads also feature a remake of the Jackson Five’s “ABC” performed by artist Tori Kelly, who has a strong following of her own on social media. The song will be available for download on Target’s website as part of a cause-related push. For every download, the retailer will donate US$5 in school supplies — up to US$3.5 million — to the Kids in Need Foundation, a charity it supported during last year’s back-to-school effort as well.Target will use social to highlight products and trends throughout the season.
