The in‑store experience students are choosing.

This article is presented in partnership with Samsung.

Online shopping is great. But when it comes to tech, nothing beats going to a store in-person and seeing products up close and personal.

While online research is a great way to compare options, many students still value seeing tech in person before making a decision. 

When you’re investing in tech (especially as a student), it’s worth investing in a good shopping experience. An in-store experience can help students feel more confident they’re choosing the right device for their needs, and will leave you feeling satisfied with your purchase and confident in the product you bought.

Here’s why students are loving the in-person experience at Samsung Experience Stores.

Don’t forget, students and teachers get 20% off participating products across Galaxy smartphones, Galaxy buds, Galaxy watches and Galaxy tablets.

Experience it first hand.

Shopping for tech online gets to a point where we often just want to see the item in real life. It’s tricky trying to assess a product’s features through a screen.

On top of this, it always feels like there are too many options. While searching online is a great starting point, when it comes to finding the right product like a new phone, speaking to Galaxy Experts can make the journey much easier. They offer hands-on product demos and guide you through product features so you can compare products equipped with all the knowledge you need.

Shopping for tech does not have a one-size-fits-all approach. There are many factors to consider when purchasing tech for school. Galaxy Experts are there to help students test products and answer all your questions about what product is best for your needs.

Build your setup on the spot.

 

School shopping can get overwhelming. You quickly lose sight of what you actually need. It can also be hard to grasp what would work well together and what set-up will give you the most seamless studying experience.

Galaxy Experts are there to recommend you a study-ready ecosystem that will help you stay organized and they will assist you with any set-up required. You can pair a Galaxy tablet with a keyboard, add Galaxy Buds for focus, use a Galaxy Watch for scheduling/reminders or get Galaxy SmartTags and protection sorted. The world is your oyster.

Get help even after you check out.

At Samsung, the Galaxy Experts are there to ensure you have everything you need before you leave the store…even if you’ve already made your purchase.

You will walk out with a new product set-up for free, as well as data transferred via Smart Switch, apps and email ready to go, and guidance on how everything works. Galaxy Experts can also recommend protections such as cases and screen protectors to keep your products safe. You can go from the store straight to school or study sesh.

What is the long-term payoff?

Not only will students and teachers get 20% off selected Galaxy devices, but it’s also about buying the right product the first time and saving students the frustration of a purchase not working out.

For students wanting extra confidence before purchasing, visit a Samsung Expereince Store to explore, and be welcomed with friendly staff ready to guide you and show you everything Galaxy has to offer.
